SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WILL ENGAGE SOMETIMES WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. (IE. ON ACCELERATING) FOLLOWING THIS, THE "ABS" AND "TRACS" LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS CONDITION PRESENTS ITSELF DURING NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKES GET "SOFT" FROM ANTI-LOCKING PULSES UNTIL THE COMPUTER FINALLY RECOGNIZES THE ERROR AND REALIZES THAT IN FACT THERE IS NO NEED TO ENGAGE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM, AFTER WHICH REGULAR BRAKING MAY RESUME.

ABS MODULE ON THE CAR FAILED. WHILE DRIVING, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $615. THE CAR IS A CERTIFIED PER-OWNED WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES. THE MODULE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AND BY READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 1998 S70 MODELS. MR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DOOR CHECK ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR HAS FAILED. THE DOOR HINGES SEEM TO BE OK, BUT THE DOOR CHECK/DOOR STOP HAS A BROKEN WELD THAT MAKES THE DOOR HARD TO OPEN - WITH A VERY CRACKLING NOISE. DEALER WANTS $280 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST - YET I HAVE SEEN POSTINGS SIMILAR TO THIS ON OTHER VOLVO WEB POSTER BOARDS. A WELD HAS BROKEN? WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR THE SAFETY OF A VOLVO CAR? MR
