1998 Volvo 940 common problems
The most-reported problem areas across all 2 owner complaints filed with NHTSA — and what to check before you buy.
Tires
Check tread depth, the DOT age date, and that all four tires match with even wear. Look for bulges or cracks.
Air Bags
Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.
