The 2001 V70XC is absolutely the worst car I have ever owned or driven and I did once own a YUGO. So I think that sums it up. No one will touch this piece of junk and the most bizarre problems occur. Car has repeatedly been in the shop throughout my ownership, has almost gotten me into many, many accidents due to severe transmission problems, stalling and overheating. I think I have replaced every part on the car including the engine and transmission and most sensors and they fail again and again. Now the electrical system and information system is totally messed up. At this point I could have bought 3 brand new Chevrolets and I'm cutting my losses. This is also the worst driving car I have ever driven. It will give someone whiplash with the transmission jerking and lurching. Not even worth the recycling. I wouldn't want to curse the other items they might make out of the scrap. Never buy another Volvo period. When I see someone driving one, I can't help but pity them. AND, my model was made in Sweden. Every repair shop tells me VOLVO is JUNK and the worst nightmares to work on. No wonder only Doctors or Lawyers can own them. They're the only ones who can afford the upkeep. I do have to say that regardless of how bad it has performed and how costly it has been, in spite of all it's problems and stranding me, it always manages to get me home. But then again I never drive it more than 25 miles away from home. I really do think that my Angels have often pushed it safely home. No thanks to VOLVO. How did YUGO go bankrupt and Volvo get rich???
