| I have intermittent failure of the dipped beams in my 2001 volvo v70 t5. i see an error report on the dash: bulb failure. dipped beams. but there is nothing wrong with my bulbs. there is an electrical problem that is totally unpredictable leading to loss of low beams. volvo service managers say they don't know what causes the problem. am i the only person to report this defect? it started about 2 years ago in the winter of 2003 but is now more regular but not always. *nm | |||

| Bulb failed and bulb failure warning light came on on way home from dealership. we returned to dealership and they said they were not aware of any problems with this component on this model. they attempted to repair but were not able to repair because they did not have a service technician on site. they offered another car but we declined. signal has been intermittent since the first incident.*ak | |||

| I have a 2001 volvo v70. i got a message that the left hand turn signal bulb was out. i bought a new bulb to replace it, and it did not fix the problem. the dealer found that it was a problem with the socket, and subsequently replaced it. this solved the problem. my complaint is that a recall for this very problem was issued for volvo v70s from 1998-2000, (nhtsa campaign id number : 00v405000 ). it seems to me that this recall should be changed to include 2001 models, as clearly, the issue was not resolved with the new model year. *jb | |||

| Clutch problem: 5 speed manual transmission. clutch sticks after pressing it in, when it comes back up. this happens when temperature is cold. dealer checked out 4 times, could not reproduce problem. independent mechanic found problem at once and states that clutch bearing needs lubricated otherwise will wear prematurely. dealer refuses to do this. light problem: problem exactly the same as 99-00 recall nhtsa campaign id: 00v405000. year 2001 should get included in recall. dealer fixed problem once by cleaning the socket problem reoccured. required recall fix is to replace bulb and socket and not clean socket. | |||
