So I was reading a Jalopnik post this morning where they asked readers to post their cars weirdest quirks and I came across this one about an XC70. I laughed for 5 minutes straight trying to imagine what it would be like to experience this glitch. Is this a thing with XC70s?
Quoted Text.....
"Volvo XC70 Wagon with a 6 disk in-dash CD changer. If you accelerated from a stop, while turning sharply to the right, the car would start spitting all 6 CDs out at me.
It didn’t happen when accelerating from a stop in any other conditions. It didn’t happen while turning sharply to the right if you were already moving. The Volvo techs thought I was crazy when I tried to call and schedule a service appointment, then I took one of them for a ride."
"Their initial suggestion was to only load 1 CD at a time, so I wouldn’t have to try to catch 6 of them while turning and accelerating....
Eventually they replaced the entire head unit and CD changer, but it took several weeks for the parts to arrive, so we actually had to go with their suggestion for a while. As the car has aged, the wipers will sometimes start, and sometimes not. The passenger door on the driver’s side will sometimes unlock itself, while every other door remains locked. The stereo will suddenly blast at full volume about once every couple of weeks.
Almost forgot this one — If I reset the trip odometer after filling up, and before starting the car, the odometer of the car will jump by .3 miles. If I reset the trip odometer after filling up and after starting the car, the odometer doesn’t change."
Heres a link to the page. Happy reading.
