problem #1

Oct 302005

V70 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles
The timing belt holder broke on my 1998 Volvo while on driving on us route 40 in chapel hill North Carolina. This caused a complete loss of acceleration. Fortunately we were in the right lane and were able to pull off the road.
