What owners wrote
Due to design (absence of a shield over fuel line), damage to the fuel line from rock in the road surface occurred, which sprayed small amounts of gasoline into the engine compartment and resulted in fire. Mjs
I have a 99 volvo v70 t5, on july 3rd of 2006 we had the vehicle in as the etm light was on, the dealer upgraded the software of the etm at no cost, now a year later the vehicle is undrivable. It surges at low idle causing the vehicle to jump forward, it consistently stalls out and now is beginning to surge while driving down the road at any RPM. I feel that this is a extreme hazard and I am no longer able to drive the vehicle.
