   I've owned and driven a 2001 Volvo XC70 for six and a half years now. Bought it used when it was 2 years old with 40,000 miles on it.
   Good thing I had purchased an extended warranty as this vehicle was in the shop every other week. Everytime I took it in, it'd set me back $50 each time it went into the shop. Everything that could go wrong with the vehicle, except the engine, went wrong and was replaced. Yes, even the transmission. So, now that the vehicle is out of warranty, it needs a new exhaust system, new struts, oxygen sensors, mass air flow sensor, etc. just to name a few.
   My back door hatch hasn't locked in 2 years; everytime temperature downs to around zero, my external mirrors motors don't work, so I have to do it manually. Everytime I roll up the right side power window, automatic, it rolls down down on its own as if it hit a resistance. On a hot day, the engine will shut off on its own going down the road and it is not due to fuel lines percolating; has to do with sensors. There are 6 of them and which one is malfunctioning no one knows. At $120 a pop, it is going to be hit and miss. My power steering pump is going out and I have a hissing air sound coming from my brake pedal.
   Just don't know how much of it I'll fix when the vehicle is only worth $7,000.
