Abs/tracs failure.

My wife's 1998 Volvo S70 had 74,000 miles when her abs and tracs warning light came on. After taking it into the Volvo dealership it was assessed that the abs/tracs is not working because of a failure of the abs/tracs control module. After some research I found a large number of people having the same issue when their same model car reached anywhere between 50 and 100 thousand miles. This is a serious safety concern and Volvo should recall and replace the part.

Brake pedal pulsating, car making noises when brakes applied normally in heavy traffic. Abs/tracs light came on. The noise and failure light have occurred several times. Dt.

Abs is working only some of the time (Volvo of las vegas has concluded that abs module is faulty and needs to be replaced). You never know at which point when you are driving that the abs decides not to function anymore. Braking can become quite worrisome and frightening abs is a critical safety component of the car and Volvo has failed to correct this problem. The sporadically functioning abs system can become very dangerous and cause a serious, if not fatal accident. Volvo stands for safety and they should stand behind their product. This faulty abs module has become a major problem for 1998 S70's. I believe the NHTSA should mandate a recall.

Problem reported to dealer and Volvo na. Critical part of safety system, out of warranty, $553 repair cost. Known defect in s/v/c 70 series.

The control module for the abs system has malfunctioned and must be replaced in order for the abs system to work. The repair shop owner indicated that this problem is "common" for this type of Volvo and that his small shop had replaced 8-10 of them. The car remains driveable, but I have been advised that until the control module is replaced, I run the risk of rotor damage, as well as not having the use of the abs. I contacted Volvo and was advised to contact NHTSA. Please advise if you have received other complaints and if I have any recourse. Thank you.

Abs system intermittently activates upon braking, engine light comes on but dealer and other service organization unable to locate cause despite error code.

Selling dealer and manufacturer-provided extended warranty company refuse to underwrite $750 expense of replacement. Dealer acknowledges that 7 similar cars are currently awaiting replacement of the same control unit. No safetyd efec tlisted.

I am aware of 2 other people who own this same vehicle (yr. Make and model). All have the same part that has gone bad in the last month. The 2 dealers I've contacted say that there is a long waiting list for this part! you're just supposed to drive the car until they can get it (not knowing if you have abs or not I supposed)! also another deceptive/dangerous part of this problem is that the dash board warning lights are inconsistant. On some trips it comes on and on others it doesn't. It never stays on. You'll never know if you should pump the brakes in an emergency or not!.

This is a common, expensive, and potentially dangerous failure on 1998 Volvo 70-series. .

This problem has been from purchase and taken back 5 times tapping and brake pedal being grabbed.

When applying brakes at any speed, there is a clicking noise, car feels like it doesn't want to stop. Then the car stalls. This has happened in heavy traffic. Four trips to dealer so far, no remedy.

Intake vent port blew out, also, lost braking.

When applying brakes there is a clicking sound, brake distance has increased, pedal feels hard, to dealer 4 times, who cannot find problem.

At about 10,000 miles the brakes would slip and rumble when braking down a hill. I took the car in to complain and they told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I started avoiding hills. Every time I brought the car in for service I complained about this problem and was assured that nothing was wrong. Now I am at 28300 and I took the car in for my 30,000 maintence, not at the dealer but another certified Volvo shop. I tell them about the problem. I am told that the rotor is bad. Well I had this same problem at under 10,000. Miles.

I believe the information is self explanatory. Thank you. My situation has been escalated to the manufacturer who over the past 6-7 weeks has been extremely unresponsive to my requests to establish meeting. No safety defect listed in summary.

Driving down the highway when there was spontaneous increase in rpm without having foot on gas. Brakes locked up on vehicle. Cause of the problem is unknown.

With approximately 57,000 miles on the odometer I started experiencing severe vibrations when I applied the brakes stopping in a straight line and when turning left at speeds approximating 15-20 miles an hour. The dealer told me that the front rotors were warped because they are aluminum and warp if they get wet when they are hot. Duh! this is florida, how can they not get hot & wet? the rear rotors were replaced at approx 30,000 miles. Deel is currently replacing the rack & pinion steering assembly which apparently caused the severe vibrations when turning left & braking. This car has been maintained at deel Volvo in accordance with the manufacturers guidelines.
