2001 VOLVO C70 Complaints

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS (3 CITY DRIVING <35 MVPH, AND 1 HWY DRIVING 60 MPH) MY 2001 VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED TO <5 MPH. ON 3 OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, ALTHOUGH AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, AND STILL GET TO MY DESTINATION AND BACK HOME WITHOUT PROBLEMS. DURING THE HIGHWAY TRAVEL, WHICH WAS ON A VERY RAINY EVENING, I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING , AFTER DIFFICULTY RESTARTING, AT SLOW SPEED. AND WITH A LOT OF PRAYERS, FINALLY GOT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE I LEFT THE CAR OVERNIGHT, CALLED FOR A RIDE HOME, AND ANOTHER RIDE TO PICK IT UP THE FOLLOWING MORNING. TOOK IT TO HONOLULU VOLVO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE, MODULE AND COMPUTER, AND COST OVER $1000 FOR PARTS ALONE. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPLACED (THEY WERE SPECIAL ORDER FROM THE MAINLAND), AND THEY SAID THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. I NOW HAVE A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT WHICH I NEED FOR WORK WHILE THE VOLVO IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY!*JB

MY VEHICLE IS A 2001 VOLVO C70. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT STALLING OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT TOTALLY LOSE POWER, IT LAST FOR A SECOND OR TWO. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I BECAME AWARE OF A GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION OF A SIMILAR ISSUE. *NM

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2001 VOLVO C-70. WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE DOOR OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE LEAK, THEY OBTAINED ANOTHER 2001 VOLVO C-70. WE FOUND WATER LEAKING INTO THE DOOR OF THIS VEHICLE ALSO. THIS IS A DEFECT. I NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE PERSON ON THE 888 NUMBER TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD STILL FILE A COMPLAINT. SHE SAID THE LEAKING WATER MAY BE DAMAGING THE ELECTRONICS INSIDE THE DOOR.
