Abs brake unit failed at 60k miles; all service was done at dealer. Dozens and dozens of owners have reported this to NHTSA for exact same make and model. Nhts seems powerless to take on this issue. How many deaths will it take to get some action? Volvo dealers and Ford know well the problem -- just count the cash they are making on the replacements, and then multiply by 10 because most are not willing to pay $1,000 for a $200 part.

5 Abs Brake Fail problem of the 1998 Volvo S70

Failure Date: 07/01/2002

While driving, I noted that the abs light was on. The next trip in the car, the abs sign was still on. I waited because intermittently various lights come on my dash, disappear, and never reappear. I went to the dealer to verify the failure of the abs. The dealer affirmed the failure and replaced the abs. The car is a 1998 S70. Two of my coworkers have discovered that they have to have their abs replaced, within one month of my abs failure. One coworker has a Volvo that is the same year as mine; the other car is a year or 2 older. This sounds like manufacturer planned obsolescence to me. How could this be a coincidence? I bought this car because of its reputation for reliable sturdy structure and safety and I am disappointed.
