Electrical Problems

[XCLA]

According to Consumer Reports, XC problems in the latest model year reported (Y2K) seem to be focused on the electrical and hardware areas.

As I inch closer to making a purchase on an '02, does anybody know if Volvo issued an electrical system "patch" of some sort that one might want specify to eliminate some of the known electrical problems with the '02 model year, whatever those may be?

Thank you for this site. Your assistance is much appreciated.

Only electrical problems I recall being notable are the remote issues and bulbs blowing prematurely.

For me, I had one bulb blow early but none since and my emote locking issue has been resolved with the latest service.

No one has mentioned otherwise, so I assume these issues have been resolved in general.

Otherwise, all has been fine. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
