Why aren't you doing anything about Volvo building crap? they should be in jail. ETM - design was unacceptable from a day one. The ETM is causing surging, stalling and many other symptoms. Once Volvo started to replace some of them, they used new ones with exactly the same flawed design. ABS module - is known for causing loss of braking power, early brake pads wear and damaging transmission. Front brake calipers - rust on calipers is squeezing rubber boots around sliding pins. Damage to rotors, pads and wheel bearings. Front lights low beams - unacceptable light output. Front seat belts - are cutting into side trim and side trim is cutting into seat belts. Wind shield wipers - highest speed is useless in heavy rain. Cruise control - RPM surges while going 55mph and turning on the cruise control. Do something!

I own a 2000 Volvo V70 wagon and the center brake light is not functioning. Before seeing the car, the mechanic predicted the problem would be the light harness, because the led lamps are typically long lived. (but does this also suggest the problem is commonplace?) took the car to be diagnosed. Have been told the harness needs to be replace. The cost to replace it will be about $425. While I am waiting for the part to come in, I continue to be without the center brake light.
