CarComplaints.com Notes: It's widely known that Volvo’s are built like tanks, especially the XC70. So it's no surprise this beast has a near perfect crash test rating. When it comes to the 2nd generation of the XC70, the 2006 is the first year that doesn't show potential transmission problems making it a best bet.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Mileage on this vehicle was 115K when this happened: My wife started to back the car straight out of our driveway (from a stopped position, in reverse gear) when she heard a loud bang which came from the drivers side front of the vehicle. She stopped the vehicle and placed it in park. After removing the left front wheel, I discovered that the suspension coil (or spring) as part of the macpherson strut assembly, had snapped in two at the lower end. The broken off part of the spring was sitting on the lower control arm, while the other part was still surrounding the strut. That part of the spring was responsible for slashing the tire when it failed. We were thankful that this happened on our driveway and not going down the highway at a high rate of speed. But we were also astounded that such a catastrophic failure of a suspension part like this would occur in the first place. There were no recalls that we were aware of and nothing in the service schedule about replacing these springs at the given mileage.
