What owners report

  • My 1998 volvo s70 had the abs module failed. This seems to be a very common problem with the car. Had this failed in rain or snow, the consequences could have been terrible.*ak from what I have read, this is a known problem by volvo, but they refuse to fix it. The cost is outrageous, over $600.

  • The abs light comes on and off intermittently. My technician says it is a faulty abs controller. I have seen several posts on brickboard.com in reference to the same problem. It appears to me that volvo has released a car with an obvious defect. *ak
