1999 VOLVO C70 Complaints

MY CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO VOLVO'S RECOMMENDATIONS. VOLVO DEALER BALANCED AND ROTATED MY TIRES AT 15,000 MILES AND INDICATED THEY WERE FINE. AL 16,000 MILES THE TWO REAR TIRES (WHICH WERE IN THE FRON UNTIL THE 15,000 MILE SERVICE) STARTED DISINTEGRATING AT 16,000 MILES (THE STEEL CORDS STARTED COMING OUT). THIS CAN'T BE NORMAL! I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT VOLVO NUMEROUS TIMES (THE DEALER AND VOLVO'S 800 CUSTOMER SERVICENUMBER) AND VOLVO IS IGNORING MY CALLS. I SAW OTHER VOLVO C70 CARS AT THE DEALER WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THEY ONLY HAD 12,000 MILES!. CAR TIRES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THIS! HAVE YOU RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM VOLVO C70 OWNERS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH! *AK (DOT NUMBER: NA TIRESIZE: P22550R16)

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND IT WAS RESET. THE SECOND TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CO2 SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE THIRD TIME WAS THE SAME DAY IT WAS REPAIRED FOR THE 2ND TIME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 20 MILES LATER. THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE IGNITION & FUEL INJECTION FAULT TRACING WAS FOUND FAULTY. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW METER WAS FAULTY & HAD TO BE REPLACED, WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER WHICH HAS A CONSTANT TICKING SOUND THAT THEY CLAIM IS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD TO ADJUSTED AND THE DASHBOARD ALSO HAS HAD TO BE REMOUNTED 3 TIMES. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TIED UP AT THE DEALER FOR 40 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON AND WE'VE BEEN TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THIS. *AK
