permanently defective cross joint

Hello! Can anyone report about problems with the XC70 II D5 with 186 hp and automatic (until 2007) with the front drivetrain (differential transmissions/joint shafts/cross joint), repeatedly reappearing strong metal flapper noises from the drivetrain at the front left. I have now (at km stand 178.000) for the 2nd time a defective cross joint (after only 40,000 further km with the first new part), have slowly had the nose of VOLVO, own a real “mountain car”!, was in the last 2 years approx. 20 times in the workshop and have (in addition to the prescribed inspections, all performed!) had about 2000 € of repairs in addition to this vehicle, my predecessor (V70 D5 , 5 gear gear gears) ran over 230,000 km impeccable, seem to have real quality problems, never buy a VOLVO again…:-( CYGNUSX1
