2004 Volvo S60 Complaint Log

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

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

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

MY CAR STALLED TWICE AT LOW SPEED, BOTH TIMES WAS ABLE TO RE-START IMMEDIATELY. AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A GENERIC OBD-II CODE OF P0192. ONLINE RESEARCH HAS FOUND THIS CODE RELATES TO THE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. VOLVO HAS RECALL #R-181 IN PLACE BUT I AM TOLD BY VOLVO CARE THAT MY CAR IS EXCLUDED FROM ELIGIBILITY FOR THIS RECALL BASED ON THE CHASSIS NUMBER - DESPITE HAVING THE SAME ENGINE CODE (61) AND EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN THE VOLVO RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE FOUND A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITE FORUMS AND EVEN THIS (NHTSA) WEBSITE. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT VOLVO MAY HAVE TO RE-VISIT THE CRITERIA FOR HOW THEY DETERMINED WHICH VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. HAVING TO PAY $300+ OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN FAULTY PRODUCT IS INSULTING. *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 GENTAL SHIFT, BUT IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. *TR

I DRIVE A VOLVO S60R AND WHEN I AM ACCELERATING I NOTICE THAT I HAVE A VERY LARGE LACK OF POWER GOING FROM 3000 TO 3500 RPM'S, THERE IS ALMOST NO INCREASE IN POWER. I HAVE BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE WITH A VOLVO DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT MY CAR FOR SOME REASON DID NOT GET THE RECALL. HE SAID IT IS THE SAME ISSUE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT. *TR

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

AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE VEHICLE STALLS. I LOOSE ALL POWER AND HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY DON'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER. FINALLY THEY GAVE ME A LIST OF ITEMS THAT SAY MAY BE THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE NOT SURE IT'S THE PROBLEM. *TR

2004 S60 VOLVO STALLS WHILE DRIVING. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE STALLED WHILE TURNING, FORCING THE DRIVER TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID TRAFFIC. CAR HAS BEEN KNOWN TO STALL MULTIPLE TIMES DAY...DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AT TIME OF OCCURRENCE AND ENGINE STOPS...POWER STEERING FAILS. DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN IT OCCURS BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE IGNITION RESTARTED IT TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

CERTIFIED PREVIOUSLY OWNED VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO BUTTERFLY VALVE WITHIN THROTTLE BODY NOT OPENING FAST ENOUGH WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER AND TOO MUCH LOAD ON THE ENGINE. EXAMPLE: EXITED FREEWAY AND WAS TURNING LEFT WHILE BRAKING DUE TO UPCOMING RED LIGHT. THE ENGINE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. LOST STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS AND HAVING TO SUDDENLY BRAKE FOR A PEDESTRIAN, BICYCLIST, OR OTHER TRAFFIC HAZARD AND THE ENGINE STALLING OR FLUTTERING AT MUCH LOWER SPEEDS. AS IT WORSENED OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK IT WAS ULTIMATELY THE WORST WITH THE MID-INTERSECTION STALL. AT THIS POINT WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF CRASHING. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A DEALER AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 68,735 MILES ON 05/02/2008 AND WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR STALLING AT 76,678 MILES ON 08/15/2009. DEALER REPORTED THIS AS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REPAIRS FOR CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY, RESETTING VALVE, AND INSTALLING NEW GASKETS WAS $402.93. VEHICLE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. VEHICLE MOVED TO WASHINGTON IN FEBRUARY OF 2009. *TR

IN JULY OF 2009 DURING THE WASHINGTON STATE HEAT WAVE, WHERE TEMPERATURES REACHED 104, MY 2004 VOLVO S60R EXPERIENCED A ENGINE SHUTDOWN ON THE FREEWAY THAT WAS DESCRIBED IN A RECALL (07V226000) FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR. MY VEHICLES VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE PART OF THE RECALL HOWEVER I THINK YOU SHOULD EXPAND THE RANGE SINCE MY VEHICLE ALSO HAD THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. I STILL HAVE THE PART IF YOU WANT TO EXAMINE IT. I HAVE READ THE CONSEQUENCES PART OF THE RECALL (07V226000) AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPERIENCED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. SUDDENLY,THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STARTED THE ENGINE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON A SEPARATE OCCASION FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 77,000.

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

2004 VOLVO S60, STALLS /CUTS-OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM. *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.

DISPLAYS "CHECK ENGINE" MOST OF THE TIME AND DOWNLOADS TO A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. AUTO HESITATES PERIODICALLY AND HAS ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS STALLED COMPLETELY. 07V226000 HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT VOLVO SAYS MY VIN NOT AFFECTED. SEEMS FROM SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH SAME PROBLEM THAT VOLVO UNDERESTIMATED THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

2004 VOLVO S60 FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. VOLVO ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS FOR 2003-2004 MODELS. MY CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM AND ITS SYMPTOMS (CAR STALLING). VOLVO DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR DID NOT FALL INTO RECALL DUE TO VIN # BREAK. VOLVO CORPORATION NEVER BOTHERED TO RETURN MY CALLS. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT CLEARLY MEETS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION. *TR

PARKING BRAKE PAD DELAMINATED FROM SHOE: DISLODGED AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND BECAME WEDGED INTO REAR SPINDLE CAUSING WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND RESULTED IN MAJOR DAMAGE TO BRAKE AND WHEEL COMPONENTS. 1 OCCURRENCE, REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF LEFT REAR ROTOR, BACKING PLATE, SPINDLE, PARKING BRAKE SHOES (BOTH SIDES) AND PARKING BRAKE CABLE. *TR

2004 VOLVO S60 ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, ERROR CODE OF "FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR" INDICATED BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/ONBOARD DIAGNOSTICS. EXACT SAME PROBLEM IS ALREADY PART OF NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN REFERENCE NUMBER(S): 07V226000 HOWEVER, NOT ALL 2004 S60 VIN'S ARE BEING COVERED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION! SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER/STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD EASILY RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT FOR PASSENGERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS. VOLVO NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL/BULLETIN TO INCLUDE ALL 2004 VOLVO S60 MODELS! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 50 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS BECAME A PATTERN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DATE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 92,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V226000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) IN OCTOBER OF 2008. THE FAILURE HAS RECENTLY RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE RECURRENCE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THE MECHANICS ARE ATTEMPTING TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE PROVIDED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO A RECALL. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED DURING THE RECALL REPAIR IS FAILING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

ANGLE GEAR FAILURE IN VOLVO S60R AWD. *TR

BULBS CONTINUOUSLY BURNS OUT CAUSING ERRORS THAT CANNOT BE READILY FIX BY THE OWNER. BULBS SUCH AS FOR HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND REAR LIGHTS BURN OUT CONSTANTLY. WE ARE AVERAGING A BULB REPLACEMENT EVERY 2 MONTHS. *TR

DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT BOUT 70 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY HESITATES AND LOSES POWER (THE RPM READER, AND SPEEDOMETER FALL TO 0). THE CAR THEN REGAINS POWER AND THEN IT JERKS AND HESITATES, ONCE AGAIN LOSING POWER. THIS TIME THE POWER STAYS OUT. HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED YET THE INITIAL ACCELERATION OF THE CAR IS EXTREMELY SLOW AND IT REQUIRES A HARD PRESS ON THE GAS TO GET THE CAR IN MOTION. THE POWER DOESN'T WORK FOR THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: POWER LOCK (INCLUDING THE REMOTE) ALL STEERING WHEEL FUNCTIONS (RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL) HEADLIGHTS TURN SIGNALS WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUN ROOF SIDE AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS ALL GAUGES IN THE DASHBOARD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR IN THE LEFT HAND LANE OF AN INTERSTATE YESTERDAY WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND DIED. THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL, YET THE INCIDENT IS IDENTICAL TO PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V226000. *TR

ABOUT EVERY 2-3 MONTH WHEN I GO TO START MY VOLVO S60 THE FRONT LEFT LIGHT BLOWS OUT. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS 5 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I CHANGED THE LIGHTS I DID NOT WEAR GLOVES SO IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLE BEEN MY FAULT. EVERYTIME AFTER I HAVE WORN GLOVES TO CHANGE THE LIGHTS AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK A DEER AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES. THE CONTACT HAS PICTURES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 41,000.

FAILURE OCCURRED WITH PIRELLI P-ZERO ROSSO 235/40-18 TIRES. FAILURE OCCURRED IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH VEHICLE TRAVELING 5 MI OVER POSTED SPEED LIMIT. ROAD WAS BEING REFINISHED. LEFT FRONT TIRE IMPACTED WITH RAISED MANHOLE. IMPACT CAUSED BULGE IN TIRE SIDEWALL. SIMILAR EVENT ALSO HAPPENED IN APRIL 2006 WHEN DRIVING SAME CAR IN ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION ZONE. DROVE OVER STEEL PLATE IN ROAD AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. LEFT FRONT TIRE IMPACTED PLATE AND BULGE APPEARED. IN BOTH INCIDENTS, TWO NEW TIRES HAD TO BE PURCHASED (4 TOTAL). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S60. ON APPROXIMATELY TWENTY OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE BRAKING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT GET AN ERROR CODE FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. RECALL NUMBER 07V226000 IS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

I HAVE A 2004 VOLVO S60 WITH 57,700 MILES. ALL WORK ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE BY VOLVO. RECENTLY, WHEN THE AC IS ON, THE FAN SPEED HAS STOPPED RESPONDING TO ADJUSTMENTS. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO ADJUST THE SPEED AND THEN, ON ITS OWN, THE SPEED WILL CHANGE A FEW MINUTES LATER. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF, THE FAN CONTINUES TO RUN FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES. I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WON'T TURN OFF AND WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE VOLVO REP AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FEEL THAT THE REPAIR MAY BE COSTLY AND JUST TO DO THE DIAGNOSTIC IS EXPENSIVE, SO I HAVEN'T HAD IT DONE WHILE I DECIDE WHETHER TO JUST TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED AUTO NEW. IT WOULD SEEM THAT I HAVE HAD SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS MENTIONED BY OTHERS. CAR STALLING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, TWICE, VERY SCARY. PULLED OFF AND RESTARTED. (FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MALFUNCTION) SEEMS THERE IS A RECALL HOWEVER WHEN I INQUIRED MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. COSTLY REPAIR AS MUST PURCHASE PART FROM DEALER. DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP, LOW BEAM, HAS BEEN REPLACED SO OFTEN LOST TRACK, OVER HALF A DOZEN TIMES, IS OUT NOW! HAVE NEVER REPLACED PASSENGER SIDE LAMP! I POINT OUT THE OTHER S60'S I SEE ON THE ROAD WITH A HEADLAMP LIGHT OUT TO MY KIDS AS A GAME NOW. *TR

SEARCHED FOR COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS, MY RECALLS WERE REPORTED COMPLETED WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, FOUND ALL OF THIS VALUABLE INFO ONLINE, WILL SEE DEALER TOMORROW AND TAKE THESE RELATED COPIES OF COMPLAINTS WITH ME. *TR

THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT OVER 70 MPH AND LOCAL AT 35 MPH. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE BEHIND ME, BUT IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND ME AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES NOW. *TR
