| The complaint that i have with my 98 v70 xc awd is with a recent tire rotation with my oil change a week after it started to sound as if my muffler was dragging and it also sounded like rear tires are dragging. my mechanic think it may possibly be the drive shaft and from the internet what i've this seems to be a consistent problem. i would like to know why isn't volvo taking accountability to fix this problem. the more i also keep reading on my year, make and model of my vehicle it should be recalled just fro the number of ongoing issues it has especially if volvo would like to stand by it's customers. *tr | |||
