2012 Volvo C70 — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 208 evidence records for the 2012 Volvo C70, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 29 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.
- Body & structure8 (27.6%)
- Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)2 (6.9%)
- Suspension2 (6.9%)
- Tires & wheels2 (6.9%)
- Brakes1 (3.4%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2000–2007.
- Electrical system1 (3.4%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 1998–2000.
Other / uncategorized: 11 classifications (37.9%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (390 records, model years 1998–2013) are most frequently classified under: body & structure, electrical system and tires & wheels.
- Manufacturer communications (3,134 records, model years 1998–2013) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
