1999 VOLVO S70 - CONTINUED REAR BRAKE, RUNNING LIGHT, AND TURN SIGNAL PROBLEMS.I PARTICIPATED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL CAMPAIGN (00V405000) TO REPLACE THE REAR TURN SIGNAL SOCKETS AND BULBS. TO THIS DAY I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR TURN SIGNALS, RUNNING LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS. I FREQUENTLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ALL OF THE REAR LIGHTING (BRAKE, RUNNING, AND TURN SIGNALS). RECENTLY, I FOUND BOTH REAR TURN SIGNAL AND BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAD TO BANG ON THE LIGHT HOUSINGS TO GET THE BULBS TO MAKE GOOD CONTACT WITH THE SOCKETS. THE ONLY RELIEF I HAVE FOUND IS TO REPLACE ALL REAR BULBS EVERY 3 MONTHS. EVEN THEN, I FREQUENTLY HAVE MULTIPLE BULB FAILURES. *AK

FAILURE A RESULT OF THE ENGINE FLOODING ITSELF, RUINING THE SPARK PLUGS. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ENGINE WAS REPLACED. BRAKES WILL ALSO OCCASIONALLY SINK INTO THE FLOOR. THESE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST AFTER BEING REPAIRED TWICE. IN ADDITION THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES--THE TURN SIGNALS WENT OUT, BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, AND THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. *AK *ML
