S40 problems. Your experience? S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be V40 Man on  Fri Mar 28 06:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Had it for 2.5 yrs., 12 days in the shop for non-Maintenance repairs, now transmission problems at 40k mls, did not start twice, had to tow, light on more often than low fuel lamp.
A hoot to drive, but a sad joke of engineering with 5 yrs of build experience on this model by the time I bought it.
My conclusion: first Volvo will be last Volvo, since FORD took over for sure (remember those 3.8L head gaskets and engine mounts etc.).
Too bad for Volvo that other companies can build fun-to-drive cars that come with next to none problems and are nearly the same $$ wise.
