List your 850/S70/V70/XC70 parts failures, 1992-2000 only

You can vote for all 22 if you've experienced all of them, and you can change or add your votes over the months/years.

If you've had that problem, please "vote" on it. Please vote only on parts that have failed, meaning parts that have actually broken.

What is not part of this list would be consumables like struts, windshield wipers, tires, etc. Those are meant to wear out, and expected to be replaced.

MMMM what comes to mind immediately.......

sporadic Central locking ( keep a spare key)

stupidly priced keyless lock button, on my third

Window switches- burn out, one smoldered

light switches - crumpled in my hand

head lights

tail lights

B+ Cable

Charging system (new battery every other February, thats right 1@2years)

drafts from all the doors

windows constantly going on and off track

Incredible wind noise at highway speeds, good thing the radio (FM) is good

loose dashboard rattling , that no one could confirm until after 4 years, now $3,000 repair thats not happening

ETM (yesterday) software fix ( around 2006) put me 4 months out of the warrentee period $1200

Temp Sensor, randomly on/off -> ultimately new radiator-> which fell out of the car 350 miles from home. (2 years ago)

Timing Belt , got that done yesterday too (~$750)

front struts, third set now.

gas milage never better than 20-22 mpg

engine EMF interference on the AM radio that goes away when you lock/unlock the doors once or twice.

hot air that comes out all over the place no matter where you dial it to go.

some kind of sticky organic gue on most plastic surfaces that can only be peeled off

when clean, dashboard surface that reflects off the windshield on sunny days obstructing the drivers view

rear hatch interior panel that keeps falling off

stupid front wheel splash guards that get ripped off when backing up in snow.

corosion of the silver coating on the (mag) wheels

brake shoe life of ~20,000 miles, and squeeling when not worn

sticking brake calipers

I'll let some one else speak now............
