  Poor introducton of model - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Bob S - August 24 - 10:20 am

  My ownership experience has been less than satisfactory due to the constant irritation of having the auto at the dealership. Constant problems with programming with radio shutdown, GPS shutdown, barking dog in the fan control of AC were finally fixed with a programming fix. Two rings embedded in the back boot of the convertible cover resulted in boot being replaced after two attempts to get replacement from mfg. Blew out a tire & since no spare, took 5 days to get a replacement. Now I get a recall stating most of the problems I have already experienced. Found five shims in trunk that fell from someplace in convertible top & undetermined where they should be replaced.

  Check your rims - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Jeff - December 3 - 8:23 pm

  We love the C70 but it has been in the shop a number of times due to the tops sensor going off while driving in the rain and when someone is walking behind the car as I back out of a parking space. Basically I have to reset the top by opening and closing it. Not a fun experience in the rain. Another ongoing issue is both right rims seemed to have gone oval for no reason. One rim was even cracked on the interior. The dealership and Volvo USA say they are not responsible. The top rattles, water gets in at the car wash. The battery died which unlocks the car and rolls down the windows. Its a safety feature.

  Volvo C70 - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Elaine - May 15 - 11:33 pm

  I have 2000 miles on my car and I have already had the cable in the convertible top replaced, the A/C compressor replaced and I am waiting for a new fuel pump to arrive. The headliner, which was damaged when the cable broke will be replaced in the Fall. Needless to say, I am not thrilled.

  Great car, but noisy? - 2006 Volvo C70
  By David Murphy - May 27 - 8:30 pm

  Love the C70-design,ride comfort, power. Agree that displays could be better. Mine however seems to be a noisy car. Maybe because I have not had a convertible in a long time. Heavy sounding rattles have been hard to isolate. Dealer replaced bearings on the struts. Recently seems to be noisy at the roof connections. Would not give it up but am a little disappointed at the noise.

  Suspension and tire woes - 2006 Volvo C70
  By "Tired" Out - February 17 - 11:53 pm

  Wonderful to look at, and fun to drive, but a disaster on tire wear. Dealer states that suspension is designed for high speed driving, so tire wear will be an issue. Originals wore out at 14000, and this set will be about the same. Dealer suggests going with H rated tires for better wear, but they arent authorized to put them on. Im thinking a trade is in the near future. Hate to do it, because I love the car, but $1000 + for tires every 14000 miles is no good. Local tire dealer says the suspension system (camber) is not adjustable, so Im stuck. Beware and watch for tire cupping.
