What owners wrote
Abs/ traction computer failure, premature brake failure, side airbag deployed falsely (volvo v 70 AWD cross country). *nlm
Abs/tracks system failure on both 1995, 850 and 1998, v70. When abs/track light(s) comes on, no abs/track. Left front weel may pull when braking on v70. Volvo corp. Does not want to do anything about this problem... Made several calls, had inspection/service done by "certified volvo service technician," volvo will not accept problem...
