I just had my '07 C70 in for its 22,500 mi. service at the dealership where I bought it. They performed the usual oil & filter change, fluid checks, brake lining check, etc. They also did some sort of a recall fix on the convertible top. Strangely, I received the car back with a dashboard rattle that wasn't there before, even though the dealer did nothing with the dash. I immediately took the car back to the dealership, went for a ride with their mechanic who heard it too (<40mph, bumpy road). After several hours of diagnosing, they said it was some type of plastic spacer/nut that had stripped threads and therefore was loose; and, by the way, it would take a week to get the part from Volvo-Sweden.
Long story short, I got the car back yesterday and you guessed it - the rattle is still there... My husband and I went for a ride in it last night and he said it sounded like it was coming either from the instrument cluster or from behind the cluster. Has anyone else experienced this type of problem? I'd be interested in hearing your experience so I can guide the obviously befuddled dealer. Thanks.
