2004 Volvo S60

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE STALLING. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT WOULD PROVIDE NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. UPDATED 12/03/10. *LJ

I HAVE A 2004 VOLVO S-60 WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE PAST 6 WEEKS, THE CAR ENGINE HAS COMPLETELY DIED THREE SEPARATE TIMES - WITHOUT WARNING. *TR THE EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHT STILL WORKED, THE FAN STILL BLOWS (NO A/C, JUST THE FAN), BUT OTHERWISE THERE IS NO POWER, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO WARNING LIGHTS WHATSOEVER. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS BEEN WHEN I AM DRIVING BETWEEN 40-55MPH. WHEN THE CAR COASTS TO A STOP AND I AM ABLE TO RE-START IT, IT STARTS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. MY VOLVO DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY SEE NO EVIDENCE OF PROBLEM ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM, AND THE CAR DID NOT DIE WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT, THEREFORE THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM - AND THAT WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS, THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT VOLVO'S DATABASE HAS NO RELATED VEHICLE OR PARTS RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR VIN/VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF WHEN THE ENGINE FAILURE WILL OCCUR, AND WITH NO CONTROL OVER STEERING OR BRAKING, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT VOLVO SO FAR CANNOT ADDRESS UNLESS THE ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. WITH NO WAY OF CONTROLLING WHEN THE CAR WILL DIE, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF OR FOR OTHER DRIVERS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF. UPON RESTART IT OPERATED AS NORMAL BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITHIN THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE IN WHICH IT WOULD MOMENTARILY FAIL TO RESPOND TO PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V226000, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 77,000.

1. REFERENCE - ODI ID NUMBER : 10348993 THE CAR STALLED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. 2. THIS TIME IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE DEALER AND VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE REP STATED THAT THE RECALL IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE CAR BECAUSE THE LAST 6-DIGIT VIN [XXX] IS OUT OF RANGE OF 335112 TO 372809. THE VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE REP ALSO STATED THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IF THE PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN THE 12 MONTH PART WARRANTY AFTER IT'S FIXED. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR NOW, NOT KNOWING WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL CRASH. 3. DEALER REPLACES FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. *TR

1. VEHICLE STALLED 2 TIMES, LAST YEAR AND ON 08/09/2010 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BOTH TIME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER 5 MINUTES AND DRIVE TO THE NEARBY THE VOLVO STORE DEALERSHIP. 2. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE. HOWEVER I SEE 2 RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V483000 AND 07V226000 WHICH MAY BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE VOLVO STORE DEALERSHIP (1051 W. WEBSTER AVE, WINTER PARK, FL 32789 - 407-628-0550) BUT THE DEALERSHIP WON'T LOOK AT IT BECAUSE THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT SHOWN UP FOR RECALL IN THEIR VOLVO DATABASE. 3. REPLACE THE BATTERY. *TR

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OVER THE SIDEWALK AND STRUCK THE BUILDING. TRANSMISSION POPPED IN REVERSE AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS. EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I FORCED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT TO STOP AFTER GOING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND BUILDING (PICTURES AVAILABLE). NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 VOLVO S60R THAT HAS TURN SIGNAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NO EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. SIMPLY ONE DAY IT NO LONGER WORKED 100% OF THE TIME. WHEN USING THE TURN INDICATOR STOCK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN IT WILL NOT DO SO IF I FULLY DEPRESS IT INTO THE LOCK POSITION. IF I HOLD IT ONLY PART OF THE WAY BEFORE IT LOCKS INTO THE POSITION IT SOMETIMES WORKS. IF I DO PUT IT INTO THE FULLY LOCKED POSITION AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES IT MAY WORK AND SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT. THIS ONLY EFFECTS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND NOT THE RIGHT. I SAW THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE (HTTP://WWW.BUSINESSWEEK.COM/NEWS/2010-07-26/VOLVO-SUVS-EXAMINED-FOR-ELECTRONICS-FLAWS-U-S-SAYS.HTML) ABOUT THE 2004 - 2005 XC90 EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. OBVIOUSLY THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE DISASTROUS IF I CANNOT SIGNAL MY INTENTIONS ON LANE CHANGING AND OTHERS WOULD THEN COLLIDE INTO ME CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH TO EITHER ONE OR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEFECTIVE PART IS STILL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CAR WOULD LOOSE ACCELERATION. TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THAT IT HAD BEEN RECALLED BY VOLVO- RECALL # 07V226000. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE VIN # OF MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT WAS THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER 2004 S60S. THE COST WAS $450 TO REPAIR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60 . WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, MAKING A RIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED 5 TIMES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS OUT OF CODE WITH HIGH MILEAGE. THE VIN WAS NOT A PART OF NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER, 07V226000, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONFIRMED THAT THE ECM 2600 FAILED AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67000.
