Headlights problems of the 2001 Volvo V70

2001 V70 headlight bulb socket on running lights h& bulb burned up. This caused the headlight on drivers side to fail.

I have intermittent failure of the dipped beams in my 2001 Volvo V70 t5. I see an error report on the dash: bulb failure. Dipped beams. But there is nothing wrong with my bulbs. There is an electrical problem that is totally unpredictable leading to loss of low beams. Volvo service managers say they don't know what causes the problem. Am I the only person to report this defect? it started about 2 years ago in the winter of 2003 but is now more regular but not always.

I was recently told my 2001 v79xc needed ball joints, then sway bars and someone else said struts! also: I have had the car diagnosed, the system reported throttle module errors and electircal or circuit problems; throttle module cleaned, then replaced; headlights replaced 3 times (wiring causes shorts); gas filter replaced  two junes in a row gas propelled out of the tank back at me upon pumping (something about air intake line was clogged), the brackets underneath the car are totally rusted  not stainless steel! I had the cooling fan replaced, car overheated into the red! I too have had little time to enjoy my car. The e brake sticks in the winter, because the coating on the lines/cables is cracked, broken/burned due to improper suspension. My sun roof, interior lights and rear hatch door works intermittently in cold weather. The glove compartment was rattling loudly and the dealer I bought it from tried to fix it and told me I had to live with it! of course another dealership fixed it outright. The seatbelt frequently sticks and doesnt take up the slack intermittently only to get shut in the drivers door frequently, when I just about think it has corrected itself. And, there is a strange draft on the front passenger side window that gets quite cold in the winter. The seal seems fine and its another problem no shop seems to know anything about.

Bulb failed and bulb failure warning light came on on way home from dealership. We returned to dealership and they said they were not aware of any problems with this component on this model. They attempted to repair but were not able to repair because they did not have a service technician on site. They offered another car but we declined. Signal has been intermittent since the first incident.

Problems with windshield and headlights. The windshield presented a glare while the vehicle was in motion, at night, the low beam setting resulted in insufficient light protection, and the high beam had limited use.
