Failure Date: 12/01/1999

There have been repeated failures of light bulbs (turn signal, brake lights, headlights, etc. )-- 12 documented from dealer, another 4-6 not documented because fixed "informally" . The dealer claims the failures are due to cheap halogen bulbs now used by Volvo rather than an electrical system problem. I notice that many of the complaints filed on this make/model involve similar problems. Whether the electrical system or the bulbs are at fault, this is a significant safety problem.
