Parts failure survey for V70/S60/XC70 from 2001-2007

EDIT: This poll is deprecated for a more complete poll: Parts failure poll: P2 Volvos: V70/S60/XC70 from 2001-2007

I noticed Matthew did something similar for the 92-00 models and I believe is a great idea, so would be nice to do it for 01-07 models as well. (A few years ago I started a post where I listed all my parts failure with mileage asking for others to do the same, but I think it was a bit too much because it didn't have too many replies.)

You can vote for one or more parts that have failed on your car. Please vote only if it happened to your car, not if you heard about that problem from somebody else…

Consumables like tires, brake pads, brake disks, timing belt, windshield wipers, etc. are not part of the list because those are meant to wear out, and expected to be replaced.

Thank you.
Dan

I have two cars in this category - will my forum login let me take the poll twice?

Also, my cars have had steering rack replacement, turbocharger replacement and the minor but common gas door hinge and cup holder door and various light socket issues.

Regarding taking the poll twice, this would be a question for Matthew, I thought that we can come back and vote again but it doesn't look like it...
Unfortunately, the maximum number of poll lines is limited to 22 so I only picked what I thought that occurs more often, so I apologize if I missed something that you experienced, maybe there is a way to have more then 22 options.

My Volvo has had various light bulbs die with 2 front (marker?) sockets replaced due to size difference of the new bulb & one brake (?) socket started to melt!

I can't post twice. I would like to add; a rear main seal replacement on the engine, a delaminated shoe on the parking brake mechanism and a defective lower ball joint.
