My 75 year old uncle reports that his 2000 V70 with only 15,000 miles blew a head gasket yesterday. Check engine light came on and he pulled off freeway, then smoke poured out, and lost all electrical power and steering as motor died. Towed to dealer where purchased (Carlsbad CA) and maintained according to factory specs. Now they say, he needs to buy a new motor for $8,000 and no coverage under warranty.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
