1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2018

I took my car to the dealer because it was not passing smog and had trouble for several years. So the smog dealer told me to take it to the dealer. I told the dealer that I was trying to pass smog, but the car had been driving very good in spite of the smog problem. They replaced everything that you can imagine at a cost of over 10,000 dollars which both of us spent in a two month period. But after they got it to pass smog I noticed another more serious problem, it would stop running in the middle of traffic. I told them about this new problem and they replaced the key and it still stopped on me 3 x on the freeway and streets. I returned the car going down the main streets for 2 hours and lift it with the company. Mckevitt Volvo in san leandro CA. They wanted to charge me but I told them my are did not have this problem until they worked on it! I need a working car and I am in dept as a result of their work. I am a 65 year old retired teacher but I can't afford this dept. 11.

4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2009

Our 2000 Volvo xc70 stationwagon experienced sluggish speed on a Wednesday - it did not like to accelerate. It was also going through oil, which the Volvo dealership said was "normal" for a car of this age - it only had 80,000 miles on it. On Thursday, the car would not start (it was very cold). We took the car to the repair shop and they found that it has oil pump problem that does not get oil into the engine. We therefore need a new engine. He also noted issues with the drive train.
