2004 Volvo S60 Complaint Log

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE". DEALER INDICATED IT WAS A CRACKED INTERCOOLER HOSE AND THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. IT WAS REPLACE AND AFTER ABOUT TWO MONTHS THE SAME SYMPTOMS HAPPENED. IT WAS THEN DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS HAPPENED WITHIN TWO MONTHS AGAIN. THE CAR NOW DOES NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 10 MPH. THE NEXT DIAGNOSIS WAS TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT STALL OR DECELERATE FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH NO NOTICE. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL FOR MODEL YEARS UP TO 2002. *TR

PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010 WITH 51,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH SERVICE ENGINE SOON MESSAGE. CAR WORKED FINE. THEN BRAKE FAILURE MESSAGE CAME ON, BRAKES WORKED FINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A WAY TO "RESET" SYSTEM. GO IN TRUNK, REMOVE BLACK BATTERY CABLE, TOUCH IT TO RED BATTERY CABLE FOR APPROX 10 SECONDS AND THE SYSTEM WILL. WE'VE RESET THE SYSTEM COUNTLESS TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO ALL GAUGES WOULD QUIT WORKING AND CAR WOULD RANDOMLY BRAKE AT ABOUT 45 MPH. PLUS AFTER COMING TO STOP, CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE BUT AFTER IT GOT GOING IT WOULD BE FINE. RESET SYSTEM AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 MILES AND HAPPEN AGAIN. VOLVO MECHANIC FOUND AWD (DEM) CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. REPLACED THIS AT $1500 FOR THE PART AND AFTER 50 MILES, GAUGES STILL WORK, NO RANDOM BRAKING AND ACCELERATION IS NORMAL. BUT....SERVICE ENGINE MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON. WAS TOLD THAT ALL MODULES RELATE TO EACH AND IF ONE IS OUT IT CAN AFFECT THE OTHERS. AT ABOUT $1500 PER MODULE, IT IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO REPLACE ALL THESE, 6 TO BE EXACT. VOLVO NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THESE MODULES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ACTIVATED THE HEATED SEATS AND AFTER A MATTER OF MINUTES, SMOKE BELLOWED FROM THE SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT.

JUST LEAVING MY GARAGE, WE SMELLED SOMETHING AND IMMEDIATELY SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT. THE SEAT WARMER WAS ON. WE TURNED THE WARMER OFF AND OPENED THE DOORS. THE ODOR AND SMOKE DISSIPATED BUT THERE IS A 1-1/2" HOLE BURNED IN THE LEATHER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING @ APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE MENTIONED ABOVE LOSS POWER AND STALLED, RESTART THE CAR AND AGAIN IT STALLED. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. *TR

THE PCV "FLAME TRAP" HAS CLOGGED IN MY 2004 VOLVO S60 WITH ONLY 41,000 MILES AND AS IT TURNS OUT, THIS IS A $1200 JOB. I WOULDN'T BE SO DISMAYED HAD I NOT DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY PREVALENT PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN TO YOUR CAR PRIOR TO 100,000 MILES. THAT THERE IS NEARLY NO AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE ONE CAN DO TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM. THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IS THAT IF IT'S NOT REPAIRED PROMPTLY, IT WILL LEAD TO OIL BURNING AND THE DAMAGING OF VARIOUS SEALS IN THE ENGINE WHICH WILL LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. VOLVO HAS EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THIS PROBLEM ON ITS S40 MODEL CARS WHICH SHARE THE ENGINES IN THE S60, YET HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IN ITS S60 MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVERS SPEED WAS 25 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE BY REPLACING THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,412.

LIKE MANY OTHERS WHO ARE ON VOLVO WEBSITES HAVE REPORTED I TOO HAD A FIRE ON THE DRIVERS SEAT LEFT SIDE DUE TO MY SEAT HEATER. I NOW HAVE A HALF DOLLAR SIZED HOLE IN THE SIDE OF MY SEAT. THE FIRST SIGN OF THIS WAS A SMELL AND THEN A LOT OF SMOKE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER QUICKLY AND HAD A TOWEL HANDY TO SNUFF IT OUT, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BURNED HANDS OR OTHER PARTS. I'VE BEEN A LIFELONG VOLVO OWNER, I HAVE TO SAY I'M SURPRISED VOLVO HASN'T AT LEAST WARNED THEIR DEALERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I DID SEE ANOTHER DRIVERS SEAT TOTALLY BLACKENED AND BURNT OUT LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN, WAS AMAZED THAT IT COULD EVEN HAPPEN LET ALONE BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. NOW AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN TURNING A CORNER, THE ENGINE STOPPED, STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD COME ON. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME TWO DAYS LATER. TOOK TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED ALL WORK HE HAD DONE IN THE PAST PLUS CHECKED THE WHOLE CAR OUT AND HE COULD NOT FIND WHY THE CAR STOPPED. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR AGAIN STALLED OUT WHEN IN TRAFFIC - ENGINE STOPPED, STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON. LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST WEEK. ALL TIMES ENGINE STOPPED WORKING, I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 10 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND OUT THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED AND AT 53,333 MILES THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. NOW 42,000 MILES LATER IT APPEARS THAT IT IS ONCE AGAIN THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ALSO LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KNOW TO RUN OUT INTO THE STREET. NOT ONLY IS THERE A POSSIBILITY OF A CAR ACCIDENT, BUT ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF A CHILD BEING HIT IF I CANNOT TURN THE CAR QUICKLY TO AVOID THE CHILD. AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND FELL VERY UNSAFE EVEN THOUGH VOLVOS ARE KNOW FOR THEIR SAFETY. AFTER READING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004 S60 VOLVOS IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY VOLVO IS NOT CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL 2004 VOLVO S60S THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC IS CHECKING ON THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REPLACE NEXT WEEK IF THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE. SOMETIMES DOORS LOCK FOR NO REASON AT ALL. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR LIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. SEEMS MUCH MORE THAN NORMAL. *TT

APPROXIMATE A MONTH LATER AFTER I BROUGHT 2004 VOLVO S60 AT DEC 2011, WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN FREEWAY TO POST OFFICE, WHAT A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, I PRESS THE ACCELERATE PEDAL, BUT IT WAS NOT RESPONSE, BUT THE CAR STILL HV A LITTLE MOMENTUM, THEN IT TURN IT TO THE CORNER AND THE CAR WAS STOPPED. I TURN OFF THE KEY AND RESTART THE CAR AGAIN, IT WORKED.AFTER A YEAR, THE PROBLEM COME BACK AGAIN AND THE FREQUENCY BECOME MORE, UP TIL DEC, 2012, 3 MORE TIMES SAME PROBLEM INCURRED. IT WAS SCARY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO FIVE VEHICLES. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. UPDATED 04/16/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE THROTTLE REMAINED OPEN. UPDATED 04/25/12

GOOD AFTERNOON, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WHEREBY THE BRAKE LINING OF THE E-BRAKE IS OF AN "ORGANIC" COMPOUND AND ACCORDING TO THE VOLVO TECHNICIAN "SWELLS" WHEN IT GETS WET, CAUSING THE E-BRAKE TO LOCK-UP. MY BRIDE WAS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THIS OCCURRED, CAUSING THE ENTIRE BRAKING ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATED PARTS TO BE RIPPED AND BUSTED LOOSE. VOLVO CHARGED US $2100 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO "FIX" THIS. VOLVO TECHS DID SAY THAT THIS HAPPENS ALOT, BUT ALOT AT SPEED (FASTER THAN 25MPH). CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS E-BRAKE LOCK-UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HOW FREQUENTLY HAS THIS HAPPENED? I HAVE PICTURES OF THE AFFECTED PARTS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNSAFE AND VOLVO KNOWS ABOUT IT. *TR

I OWN A 2004 VOLVO S60. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AFTER MY MECHANIC TOLD ME MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DUE TO THIS RECALL. VOLVO SAYS THERE IS NO SUCH RECALL AT FIRST, BUT UPON CALLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS. HOWEVER, THEY SAY IT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND THAT MINE IS NOT COVERED. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, FOR THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE MY ENGINE TO STALL OUT AT ANYTIME AND CAUSE MY STEERING WHEEL TO JERK AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY. TO ME, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM, SOUNDS LIKE THAT IT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL ME ON THE ROAD. HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT CAN BE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NOT BE VOLVOS RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX? JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS DIFFERENT DOES NOT MEAN THE PROBLEM IS ANY LESS SERIOUS, THOUGH VOLVO SEEMS TO THINK IT IS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 VOLVO S60. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY. I WENT TO PUT MY S60 IN PARK, AND IT WOULD NOT GO PAST NEUTRAL INTO EITHER REVERSE OR PARK. MY S60 HAS A GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION (GEARTRONIC IS ESSENTIALLY THE BRAND NAME OF THE VOLVO MANUMATIC TRANSMISSION. SOURCE: HTTP://WWW.EHOW.COM/INFO_7784643_GEARTRONIC-TRANSMISSION.HTML#IXZZ1K1HJ4JPR) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IF I NEEDED TO GO INTO REVERSE I COULDN'T, AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEREFORE COULD NOT REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO NOTICEABLE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE OF THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT KNOB, BUT IT IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE, AND MAY RESULT IN A RECALL IF THIS FAILURE OCCURS IN MORE VOLVOS WITH THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GATHER FROM VOLVO DEALERS AND OTHER REPUTABLE VOLVO SERVICE BUSINESSES CAN POTENTIALLY GATHER ENOUGH ISSUES WITH THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT KNOB TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE, IF IT HAS OCCURRED OR DOES OCCUR IN OTHER VOLVOS WITH THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND GEAR SHIFT KNOB, MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF CERTAIN GEARS, AND MAY RESULT IN THE CARS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE PUT INTO PARK. THIS COULD RESULT IN SAID VEHICLES ROLLING AFTER TURNED OFF. ALSO, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF SAID VEHICLES IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK. *TR

WHEN TURNING A CORNER. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME A WEEK LATER, AND THEN SEVERAL ADDITIONAL TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED IT OUT BUT COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. HE ONLY SPECULATED THAT IT COULD BE THE PVC BOX, BUT THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 100K AFTER THIS HAPPENED ABOUT EIGHT TIMES IN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS, I TOOK THE CAR TO VOLVO DEALER. THEY CHECKED IT OUT, AND TOLD ME IT MAY BE THE PVC BOX, BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND WHO SAID IT WAS THE CATALYTYIC CONVERTER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A YEAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND CABIN FILTER. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP/SERVICE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER RESET. HE SAID, BECAUSE THE CAR LOOSES PRESSURE AND STALLS WHEN YOU MAKE A QUICK TURN. I CALLED VOLVO THEY SAID THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO VOLVO TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR STALLED OUT ON THE MECHANIC 3 TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGIINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CHECKED THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND TOLD ME THE ENGINE COILS NEEDED REPLACING. THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I PAID FOR THE ENGINE COILS TO BE REPLACED AND SOME OTHER WORK WHICH TOTALED $1350.00. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON FRIDAY, ON MONDAY, WHILE TURNING A CORNER THE CAR STALLED OUT, NO POWER, NO STEERING, JUST ONBOARD LIGHTS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON TUESDAY MORNING. I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT, BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURING AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND VOLVO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THESE CARS. THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS MECHANICAL/ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TT

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME WITH MY 2004 T2.5 S60 VOLVO. I CALLED VOLVO AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS YET I SEE THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER, IT HAS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. MY HAPPENS WHEN THE WEATHER GETS HOT HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I HAD NO PROBLEMS THIS WINTER, BUT YESTERDAY IT WAS IN THE MID TO HIGH 80?S AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN! NO WARNING TO THE EVENTS. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT HAS HIT A LARGE OBJECT, TEMPORARILY LURCHES AND APPEARS TO MOMENTARILY STALL CREATING A TEMPORARY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ALL INSTRUMENT GAUGES, AIR CONDITIONER, WINDOW CONTROLS AND DOOR LOCKS. THE FAN DID CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ALSO INDICATED AS WELL AS A WARNING THAT NO BRAKES FUNCTION EXISTED. THE SRS SERVICE AIR BAG URGENT INDICATION IS ILLUMINATED. ON TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING(SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK, BUT IF I REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE AND LET IT SET FOR A BIT AND PUT IT BACK ON THE CAR WILL START), THE FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR RETURN WITH EXCEPTION THAT THE SRS SERVICE AIR BAG URGENT INDICATION REMAINS. THIS PROBLEM CAN TAKE MONTHS TO REPEAT OR ONLY A MATTER OF MINUTES. IT SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN HOT WEATHER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES AND THEY TOO MANY CODES, RESET IT AND IT COMES BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED UNTIL CRASHING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE BODY DAMAGES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,058. UPDATED 05/26/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE MADE A TURN, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. THE VEHICLE WENT FORM SIDE TO SIDE AS SHE TRIED VERY HARD TO BRAKE AND STEER AWAY FROM THE INCLINE ON THE RIGHT. THIS ACTION CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 0.3 MILES, BEFORE THE VEHICLE AIR LIFTED AND THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE BETWEEN THE REAR DOOR AND REAR QUARTER PANEL HIT THE GUARDRAIL. THE VEHICLE THEN BOUNCED OFF THE GUARDRAIL, CROSSED THE STREET, JUMPED THE GUTTER AND LANDED ON ITS WHEELS IN A NEARBY FIELD, WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. WHEN SHE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, SHE KEPT IN THE LOWEST GEAR, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND A MESSAGE LIGHT ILLUMINATED STATING DO NOT DRIVE, COOLANT IS LOW. UPDATED 08/24/11

BURNING PASSENGER SEAT IN 2004 VOLVO S60R. WHILE DRIVING I SMELT A HORRIBLE BURNING SMELL AND SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH EVENTUALLY STARTED A FIRE. I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEATS AND NOW HAVE A BURN ABOUT AN INCH IN DIAMETER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AT ALL! GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY - THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING (NO JERK, ONLY AN "CLICK" SOUND). IT HAPPENS ANYTIME BUT SEEMS WORSE IN THE SUMMER BUT I THINK IT'S HOT-HEAT RELATED. THE OTHER ISSUES ARE RELATED: -THE INTERIOR LIGHTS USUALLY COME ON -THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES COMPLETELY BLANK/LIGHTS GO OFF/NO AVAILABLE EMERGENCY LIGHTS -THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAKE ONE WIPE SOMETIMES -THE "REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPEN" WARNING COMES ON -THE "BRAKE FAILURE STOP SAFELY" WARNING COMES ON AND SOMETIMES "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON. NOT ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS OCCUR EACH TIME. THERE ARE MORE SEVERE AND LESS SEVERE INCIDENTS. *TR

2004 VOLVO S60 STALLED SUDDENLY WHEN TURNING. IT HAS STALLED WHEN PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED AROUND WITH 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, STEERING, AND BRAKING. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL FPS FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE FIXED. *TR

VOLVO SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THAT IT HAD BEEN RECALLED BY VOLVO- RECALL # 07V226000. BUT THE VIN # OF MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT WAS THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER 2004 S60S. WHY NOT ON THE R AS WELL? *TR

2004 S60 VOLVO ALARM SYSTEM SERVICE REQUIRED. I'VE OWNED MORE THAN 8 DIFFERENT CARS OLDER THAN THIS CAR, AND THEY NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE ALARM. IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON TO REPLACE THE ALARM MODULE IN THIS VOLVO MODEL BECAUSE OF THE ACID LEAK FROM THE BATTERY THAT CAUSES A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT. AND YES IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. WHAT A RIPOFF. *LN

THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TOOK VEHICLE TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP FOR A REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR REPORTED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR (FPS) IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT, THAT IT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE SAID THAT VOLVO WOULD PAY 50% FOR THE PART AND CHARGE ME THE WARRANTY LABOR RATE. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME IN ADVANCE THE TOTAL COST. AS I WAS LEAVING, ANOTHER SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD A PERSON OVER THE TELEPHONE THEY NEEDED A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND WOULD GET 50% OFF. A FEW DAYS LATER A FRIEND TOOK HER S40 TO THIS DEALER AND WAS TOLD SHE NEEDED A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR TO FIX HER ACTUAL FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM (IT DID NOT). THE ODDS OF A PERSON LEARNING ABOUT 3 VOLVOS NEEDING FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENTS IN THIS MANNER SEEMS PHENOMENAL. AS SUCH, IT APPEARS THAT EITHER: 1) VOLVO'S FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS HAVE A HIGH FAULT RATE; 2) VOLVO UNDERSTATED THE CARS TO INCLUDE IN ITS RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER R181; 3) CARS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN ARE BEING CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR; OR 4) THE QUESTION OF HOW VOLVO IS / IS NOT MANAGING THE DEALER TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A HIGH INCIDENCE OF FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURES ON THE CARS BEING SERVICED DURING THAT TIME PERIOD AND THE REASONS FOR THOSE FAILED FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE VOLVO TO SUPPLY STATISTICS AND RECORDS (PROBABLY A SIMPLE VOLVO DATABASE SEARCH) FOR ALL VEHICLES RECEIVING NEW FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS AND IDENTIFY WHETHER: 1) THE REPAIR WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL NUMBER R181; 2) THE NON-RECALL FPS CUSTOMER WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR; 3) THE NON-RECALL FPS CUSTOMER WAS NOT CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR. AND, FOR THOSE VEHICLES, THE NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE VOLVO TO PROVIDE THE PLANT, PRODUCTION DATE, AND CHASSIS NUMBER. RUNNING THE REPORT IN MODEL NUMBER AND CHASSIS NUMBER ORDER (CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER) OF ALL CARS WITH FPS PROBLEM WOULD LIKELY AID THE NHTSA IN DETERMINING WHETHER THE EXTENT OF THE FPS PROBLEM AND ACCURACY OF THE VOLVO'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER R181. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION S60R VOLVO, AND I SHIFT I HEAR A LOUD THUD IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, I CHECKED EVERYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MAKING THE NOISE AND SECURED IT, IT BOTHERED ME SO MUCH I TOOK IT TO THE VOLVO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION SOFTWARE AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT APPLICABLE FOR MY VIN. HE SAID THIS WAS THE BEST GUESS HE COULD MAKE, I INFORMED HIM THAT IT ONLY MAKES THE NOISE IF YOU MAKE A PRETTY GENTLE SHIFT, BUT IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 VOLVO S-60 AND THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL ON PASSENGER SIDE FAILED WHICH LEADS TO THE PASSENGER NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR
