Two problems related to seat belt have been reported for the 2000 Volvo V70. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Volvo V70 based on all problems reported for the 2000 V70.
Defective rear seatbelt (driver side) in 2000 Volvo V70. Seatbelt binds up, cannot be pulled out and won't retract. This is the second occurrence for this car which has 100,000 miles on it.
I have had several failures of the child restraint system. A switch on the seat belt allows tesion to remain in the lap section of the seat belt. This tension secures child seats into the car by preventing motion. The entire force on this restraint (in the lap section) is transferred thru a small section of plastic which can crack and break easily. Without tension in the lap section of the belt, child safety seats are not firmly secured allowing motion should an accident occur.
