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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
Original keyfob erased itself after battery was disconnected for two weeks while replacing a failed engine. I worked with visteon automotive systems as an electrical engineer, manufacturing their remote keyless entry systems. I know very well that the keyfob should be programmed in non-volatile memory chips. Volvo does not seem to be doing that. This could be a public hazard issue when having to jump-start such a vehicle to get away from a natural disaster. The car may not start until you tow it to Volvo to re-program it. In my case, courtesy Volvo of scottsdale, Arizona sent me a bill for 10 hours of labor for keyfob re-programming. Ata rate of $68/hour. Visteon's programming procedure takes minutes. Volvo's takes many hours. This is another hazard issue in itself.
