Volvo promises action after German breakdown survey
Volvo's reputation for producing reliable cars has been hit by a survey of a 1.6 million breakdowns.
The report, which documents cars which broke down on German motorways last year, places Volvo in fourth position for having the most breakdowns.
The only cars to place worse than Volvo models were Renault's Espace, Fiat's Bravo, Brava and Marea, and Opel's Omega. The company has promised action.
The 850, S70, V70 and C70 series were the most likely of the Volvos to experience some kind of problem.
The survey was carried out by the respected German automobile organisation Adac, and only included cars between the ages of four and six years old.
Volvo spokesman, Olle Axelsson, told the Sydsvenska Dagbladet newspaper: "The truth is that we have not concentrated on quality the past few years, but we will now analyse and correct the problems."
