Ford mostly left Volvo alone. Ford mostly bought Volvo for their research and development so that they could improve the safety of their other brands. It's newer technologies that are the problem. Volvo is still doing much better than ANY other European manufacturer in terms of reliability, at least according to this year's consumer reports. I believe the specific statement made was that Volvo is the only European company who has above average reliability, but that is just from memory and may not be completely accurate.
