Turn Signal Problems of Volvo V70

The contact owns a 2002 Volvo V70. While driving, the exterior lighting failed to illuminate, which included the headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. The "position light failure, stop light and multiple bulbs failure" message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the headlight bulbs had been replaced several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who discovered that several light sockets were melted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

The dim/driver information manual/dashboard display broke. This is a safety issue due to the loss of warning lights and turn signal displays.

I have a 2001 Volvo V70. I got a message that the left hand turn signal bulb was out. I bought a new bulb to replace it, and it did not fix the problem. The dealer found that it was a problem with the socket, and subsequently replaced it. This solved the problem. My complaint is that a recall for this very problem was issued for Volvo V70s from 1998-2000, (NHTSA campaign id number : 00v405000 ). It seems to me that this recall should be changed to include 2001 models, as clearly, the issue was not resolved with the new model year.

Consumer stated while driving, the dashboard warning light illuminates stating that a headlight is out or a blinker has stopped working, consumer stated when he goes to change the bulb, he notices that the bulb is not burned out, by just moving the socket around the bulb lights, consumer stated the dealer has changed a front turn signal socket, and when the bulb was removed had burn markings, this has also happened with both headlights, turn signal lights and the license plate sockets.

While driving with headlights on. Then, activated turn signal lights, and light on dash panel will blink fast, and let consumer know to change the light bulbs. Also, battery will die without a reason for it.

Front turn signal lights stop flashing while rear turn lights continue to work. Removed both front bulbs, filaments ok, appears failue due to arcing of contact materials different from those of bulb leads. Cleaned contacts and installed new bulbs, now work fine. Did not discuss with dealer but understand problem is common. Could lead to accidents since turn indicators are a safety item.

Left turn indicator began flashing quickly, indicating a possible bulb failure. After removing the bulb, found severe black charring surrounding the contact area. After cleaning, the bulb stopped flashing.

Pe00031, while driving headlights/taillights/turn signals, and brake lights go out continueously which may cause visual diffculty and may result in a crash.

The turn signal socket appears to have corroded contact terminals.

Turn signal bulbs failed. Yh.
