About 6 months ago I was driving at night and my left headlight went out and about 3 minutes later my other headlight went out? I had to pull over there and wait till day light. When I got home I took the headlights out to find bare wires on both of them? They were just disintegrated!?!? I called Volvo took find out about a new wire harness and was told I have to buy the whole engine wire assembly, costing over $3000.00. I bought 2 more headlight assemblies online and had the same problem!?!? When I tried to change the bulb the coating on the wire just fell off!?!?!? I have heard in other Volvo Forums other people have had this problem with Volvo's headlight wiring problem!?!? It needs to be

I HAVE A 2006 VOLVO C70 AND THE TIERS STARTED TO LOOSE AIR. WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED I FOUND OUT THAT THREE OF THE FOUR 18' RIMS HAD CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM EDGE...WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 VOLVO C70. IT IS AN OUTRAGE THAT VOLVO DOES NOT YET HAVE TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE OR WILL HAPPEN DUE TO A TIRE GOING FLAT ON THIS MODEL AND RIM SIZE. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES RIMS CAN GET DAMAGED HOWEVER," ALL ARE CRACKING IN THE SAME AREA". I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ALL THREE RIMS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. R. SWANEY. *TR
