This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

The contact owns a 2000 Volvo V70. The contact stated that while sitting idle at a traffic stop, the contact's vehicle was crashed into from the rear. As a result, the front driver's seat split in half and the front air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the vertebrae and a police report was filed of the incident. The vehicle was towed for further investigation. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 100,000.
My entiire transmission failed and had to be replaced by the manufacturer. My turbo has now failed and warranty recently expired. The current quote is $1000 or more to repair this. The airbag did not deploy on 2 occasions when it should have. The dealership refused to check it because it was too expensive. When I bought the car at 7500 miles, the antenna motor was broken. My salesperson told me they would repair it on my next service appointment. This promise was not honored, they later claimed that was my fault and not covered under warranty. This seems like a lot of problems for a car of this caliber. I am extremely dissappointed with Volvo service and quality. I had a Honda for 7 years and never had problems like these. I will go back to Honda now.
