Engine Exhaust System Problems of Volvo V70

Volvo 2002 V70 wagon stalled while in drive on I-5. Fortunately I was able to get to the shoulder despite losing steering. Similar incident occurred in 2004 and the dealer cleaned the throttle. Obviously this correction was not permanent.

11/12/04 mass air flow sensor replaced 12/16/04 map sensor & shut off valve replaced 3/15/05 shut off valve replaced again! 1/18 05 master window switch pack replaced - 5/31/05 master window switch pack replaced again!! 3/17/05 electronic throttle control module replaced!!! 5/9/05 oxygen sensor and abs control unit replaced. When the throttle control module failed in March 2005, my 1999 Volvo V70 had only 55,000 miles on it! I was on the expressway when my car lost power and had no way to get back onto the road safely. . . . . I have spent over $4000 in the past year replacing electrical control units in order to make this car safe. The check engine light came multiple times over the past year. I am afraid to drive this car for fear of something else going wrong with the electrical system. I have four small grandchildren who are with me at least three days a week.

The consumer's vehicle was tested and found to have high levels of carbon monoxide. Black smoke was belching out of the exhaust pipe. The transmission failed.

My 5 year old daughter suffered a second degree burn on her leg by coming into contact with the exhaust pipe tip at the rear bumper of the car by the lift gate. The exhaust on this car is extremely hot, subjectily, it feels much hotter than other vehicles that I own. I understand that there is a pe underway by NHTSA for this problem and just wanted to supply some data. My daughter is fine and has recovered completely and I don't expect to take any action against the manufacturer. They should be aware of this problem by now.

Consumers vehicle is emmiting a foul exhaust(rotten egg) odor which enters the vehicle when the driver's side window is down 2", the catalytic converter has been clean a replaced but the odor persist. Nlm.

The vehicle experienced mass air flow sensor failure.

Strong odor (sulphur?) on an intermittent basis. Driver and passengers/children have become nauseous and pulled over to exit the vehicle. Volvo claims it is a gasoline problem, but all instructions related to the gasoline type have been followed. Volvo replaced the catalytic converter but this has not solved the problem.

Daily exhaust odor inside car when driver or passenger window is opened a little. This is a health hazard. It happens when there are no other cars around as well, so I know it is not coming from other cars. This has not happened in any other car we have had. It has not happened when I drive a loaner Volvo (when my car is being serviced). Dealer has checked this out several times and can't find a problem. This car has been in for service on one thing or another every 3-4 months. Should I contact the health department since this could affect our health? we have to keep the air circulation button on inside air or exhaust comes in from other cars. Is this car a lemon? do we have any options besides buying a different car? this complaint does not have anything to do with the airbags. I can't figure out how to change that information after I reviewed all of the information. Sorry.

The defective exhaust system leaks into the cabin. Cause unknown. Please provide further information.

The catalitic converter smells inside the car while driving. This is a problem that I had with a previous V70. After numerus complaints to Volvo they replaced the car with a similar car. Now I face this problem again. It is not as bad when I use the highest octane available and add octane boost. I consider these odors dangerous becouse I get headaches and burning eyes while driving. I would appreciate any info you may have about this problem. Please follow up on this complaint. Thankyou.

There is a toxic sulfur dioxide smell coming from exhaust, causing consumer to become sick. Dealer is not able to fix defect.
