1998 Volvo V70 exterior lighting problems

“EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING, BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. FUSES ARE GOOD AND BULBS ARE GOOD AS WELL! BRAKES HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE THE DRIVE HOME HEADLIGHTS GO IN AND OUT. COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT! *TR”

“CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL 99V235000. TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS,. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK”

“HEADLIGHT SWITCH FOR EXTERIOR LIGHTS DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SWITCH TO BE REPLACED , BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER FOR REPLACEMENT. THE VIN NUMBERS ARE NOT SHOWN ON THE RECALL. *NM”

“FOR OUR 1998 VOLVO V70 XC AWD, THERE WAS A RECALL IN NOV 1999 (99V235/VOLVO RECALL NO. 94). WHEN OUR HEADLIGHT SWITCH SUDDENLY DISASSEMBLED ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT IN MID-SEPTEMBER, LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT A SINGLE VISIBLE LIGHT, I HAD TO REASSEMBLE IT AND HOLD IT TOGETHER TO REACH HOME. WE CHECKED WITH OUR DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE COMPUTER RECORDS SHOWED THAT THE SWITCH RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE FOR OUR CAR, SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER SWITCH. AS I LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE SWITCH THAT WAS REMOVED, I REALIZED I WAS LOOKING AT THE RECALLED SWITCH, STILL IN THE CAR FOUR YEARS AFTER THE RECALL DATE. VOLVO USA AUTHORIZED THE LOCAL DEALER (NOT THE ONE WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE THE RECALL) TO REFUND ME THE PRICE OF THE SWITCH. NO ONE SEEMS INTERESTED IN THE INCORRECT REPORTING OF A RECALL COMPLETION WHEN, IN FACT, THE WORK WAS NOT DONE, LEAVING THE CAR UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTING THE RECALL COMPLETION WAS LEIKIN VOLVO, 38750 MENTOR AVENUE, WILLOUGHBY, OH, 44094. ARE THERE OTHER REFERENCES TO SKIPPED RECALLS INVOLVING THIS DEALERSHIP?*AK”

“CONSUMER STATES HEADLIGHT SWITCH BROKE, CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO BE INOPERATIVE. DEALER STATES RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK”

“CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES STATING THAT A HEADLIGHT IS OUT OR A BLINKER HAS STOPPED WORKING, CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE GOES TO CHANGE THE BULB, HE NOTICES THAT THE BULB IS NOT BURNED OUT, BY JUST MOVING THE SOCKET AROUND THE BULB LIGHTS, CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER HAS CHANGED A FRONT TURN SIGNAL SOCKET, AND WHEN THE BULB WAS REMOVED HAD BURN MARKINGS, THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WITH BOTH HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS AND THE LICENSE PLATE SOCKETS.*JB”
