CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2nd generation XC70 has a transmission issue and the 2003 model year seems to be the worst of it. These are still solidly built and comfortable cars, but if you're looking at buying used you might be better off avoiding the 2003 unless it has already had its transmission replaced.

It does not stop. Owning a Volvo is like having a second mortgage with an ARM. I have been researching cars and every time I am ready to go negotiate the beast breaks down and has to be towed or pushed for repairs.
