Electrical Jack problem #1

Car jack failed during tire changing. The car jack failed causing jack to bend.

Owners/service Manual problem #2

Safety issue the tire pressure label on our Xc70 (VIN: yv4960bz2a1077298) list the proper tire pressure as being 33 psi. At this pressure the tire pressure warning light is constantly on. This renders the federal mandated tire pressure monitoring system essentially non-functioning and places the driver at risk. Volvo of north America has reviewed this issue and has confirmed the 33 psi value, not the higher value in the owners manual, is correct. Volvo has confirmed their recall to replace the incorrect 33 psi labels on the 08-10 Xc70 does not apply to this vehicle. Since proper tire pressure and the tire monitoring system is an important element in safe driving, Volvo need to resolve this issue.

Equipment problem #3

The windscreen seal has failed. Water leaking into the overhead lighting fixture and main cabin. This will ruin the car, and shouldn't happen to any car. The windscreen, when properly attached to the body, contributes to the structural integrity and crashworthiness of the vehicle. If the screen is only partly bonded, any stress could detach it and the upper part of the body would suffer reduced strength integrity. I can push the windscreen out with my hand.
