My husband and I were burned by scolding hot steam and water that exploded out of our a/c heating vents on our dashboard. We were waiting in a drive thru with the car on, but the a/c heating unit was off. The make , model and year of our car is a 1999 Volvo V70. It was towed to our mechanic who said the heater core went bad and the hoses ruptured. He bypassed the heater unit to save money on repairs. When my husband was driving the vehicle home it ran hot, he promptly took it back to the repair shop. The radiator fan was inoperative the main cabin floor was flooded with coolant and foul smelling. We no longer had faith in the car and sold the car to the mechanic. We're just happy we weren't driving the vehicle on the road when that happened.

A 2001 Volvo V70. The engine stalled on 7-30-04 while driving. The performance decreased and warning light came on.

The engin stuttered and then stallled. Within a week this occurred at least 6 times. Consumer took vehicle to the dealership, but, she did not remember exactly what they did. Service records were available. There were no more problems again until 1-2005. This time the dealership could not find the cause of the problem. They did nothing to alter the vehicle. At this point there have been no other problems with the vehicle.

The problem is a grinding/vibration when the car gets hot. The dealer/Volvo say it is the viscouis coupling. Neither one know how to fix. The dealership said they have at least two brand new cars that they know about on their lot that have the same problem (wonder what they will do with these cars?). I think this is a very big problem.
