While driving at any speed noted rumbling noise from left front end with right hand turn. Found to have broken left front spring. Mechanic informs me that this is a common problem in Volvos.
While driving on smooth surface- heard a sudden loud sound as if something large dropped on the road. Car continued to drive normally except with a loud clunky sounds heard over bumps. Less than 5-miles later, when I pulled over to the garage- I recovered a piece of the spring coil which dropped: the driver side coil spring had broken/failed instantaneously. This uncommon problem appears to be common with Xc70 owners- and could result in potentially serious accidents.
