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

[instarx]

Can't make any more entries in the poll... is it broken or turned off?

I think this is very interesting and useful. Not the total number of repairs so much as the ratio of the different types of repairs. Very telling are only a few ETM repairs. I think this shows how problems can get blown out of proportion on forums just because they are discussed a lot. For example, reading the forum one would get the impression from the comments that all the ETMs are failing, but that isn't borne out by the data posted here. Again, a very useful poll.

I listed the failures for my 98 S70 203K only and did not list them for my 00 V70 120K. I didn't think to list all the failures for both cars but, in fact, the ETM did fail on my 00 V70.
