The interior is toast, but the enigne compartment was untouched, freaking amazing

If the interior is toast, the car is a total. In all honesty, even if you fixed the interior, the fire smell would never, ever go away without a complete stripping of the interior and blasting and recoating the interior metal.

I would definitely be looking towards going after Volvo, if it was a recall issue and IF you were not properly notified to bring the car in for the fix.

by the way- An interior fire would or should never get to the engine compartment. The firewall is intended to work both ways.

Good Luck.

sorry for your loss, but at least you weren't in the car before it got out of hand... imagine if you or you dog was in the car. thats way worse.

gotta think positive tho, sounds like a V70R to me :)

depends on the company. I know with my glt that got totaled, they let me keep the car. actually i had to ask them if they wanted the car and they replied with a no.... good news is that i parted the car out on this site a few years ago.
