S70 on Click and Clack S70 1999

Did anyone hear the S70 saga on Click and Clack (on NPR radio)?

Seems a woman with a 99 S70 had her seat heater catch on fire. Click and Clack responded by saying that they thought the S70 was one of Consumer Reports used cars to never buy, and said that they 'eat brakes' and 'go through headlights every other day.' Worst of all, she went on to say that with 70 some odd thousand miles the engine burns 4 qts of oil every two months.

Click and Clack told her to ask Volvo for a new engine and a new seat. According to them, the only reason to buy a Volvo is for longevity ... they should go 270,000 miles, other than that, they're overpriced, unreliable, and non-competitive.

I had always thought that these guys were pro-Volvo.

Anyway, who thinks that Volvo will replace the engine (the woman reported that she had all oil changes done and had records) and/or the seat?

You can hear this at cartalk.cars.com/Radio/Show

Geez, I can't wait until modern Volvos become as reliable as modern Fords...
