| I was recently told my 2001 v79xc needed ball joints, then sway bars and someone else said struts! also: i have had the car diagnosed, the system reported throttle module errors and electircal or circuit problems; throttle module cleaned, then replaced; headlights replaced 3 times (wiring causes shorts); gas filter replaced two junes in a row gas propelled out of the tank back at me upon pumping (something about air intake line was clogged), the brackets underneath the car are totally rusted not stainless steel! i had the cooling fan replaced, car overheated into the red! i too have had little time to enjoy my car. the e brake sticks in the winter, because the coating on the lines/cables is cracked, broken/burned due to improper suspension. my sun roof, interior lights and rear hatch door works intermittently in cold weather. the glove compartment was rattling loudly and the dealer i bought it from tried to fix it and told me i had to live with it! of course another dealership fixed it outright. the seatbelt frequently sticks and doesnt take up the slack intermittently only to get shut in the drivers door frequently, when i just about think it has corrected itself. and, there is a strange draft on the front passenger side window that gets quite cold in the winter. the seal seems fine and its another problem no shop seems to know anything about. | |||

| 6 inch crack in the center of windshield from top then proceeding to the drivers' side about 12 inches. i wasn't aware that anything had even hit the windshield until the serviceman at the dealership pointed it out. even then it was hard to see the mark he was showing me because the mark is about the size of a pinpoint and it is all surface like a scratch. my concern is the safety of the windshield that was installed originally on this car. something so minute should not have caused such a crack if this windshield wasn't defective or improperly installed to start with. this is advertised as an all-terrain vehicle-i've only driven on asphalt and concrete roads! obviously, there is something wrong here. volvo hasn't even tried to alleviate any of my safety concerns regarding this windshield. i question the installation & the grade of windshield used for this type of vehicle. this should not have happened so easily. this does not happen so easily on any other vehicle. why did it happen on this one if the windshield wasn't defective or improperly installed?? am i going to have to worry when that first snowflake hits the windshield?? i need some answers! thank you for your assistance. | |||
