CarComplaints.com Seal Of Pretty Good

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 got a minor facelift -- the good kind, not the "Hollywood" kind -- and hasn't shown much in the way of transmission problems. At least not yet.

My wife's 2005 Volvo XC70 problem is that periodically when you shut off the car and attempt to remove the key you can't. the car makes a noise like it continues to run for several minutes and sometimes you can then remove the key. Unfortunately this problem is happening more frequently.

During the failure, the windshield wipers activated and could not be turned off. An independent mechanic stated that the central electrical module was corroded and needed to be replaced.
