FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BROUGHT MY CAR FROM SOMEONE IN FEBRUARY, AND IT WAS RUNNING PERFECT. NOW THERE IS A GAS SMELL, A SMELL THAT SMELLS SO BAD I'M SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT MIGHT CATCH FIRE. I NOTICE THE SMELL BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. MY BDAY IS 9/12, AND NOW IT JUS HAD GOTTEN WORSE. I DON'T THING I SHOULD BE AT FAULT FOR THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALER WANTS 1,095$ TO FIX IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
BEGAN TO NOTICE STRONG FUEL SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALSO NOTICED THAT STARTING THE VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE IS COLD BECAME MORE DIFFICULT. RESEARCHED VARIOUS FORUMS AND NHTSA AND DISCOVERED THAT VOLVO HAS HAD 2 RECALLS FOR FUEL PUMPS. MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED SAME SYMPTOMS AS DETAILED IN BOTH NHTSA RECALLS. CALLED VOLVO AT 800-458-1552 AS INSTRUCTED IN THE NHTSA RECALL NOTICE. INFORMED THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SYMPTOMS DETAILED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF RECALL. ALSO CONTACTED LOCAL VOLVO DEALER REGARDING RECALL NOTICE. DEALER WOULD DIAGNOSE PROBLEM - IF PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WOULD REPLACE. DEALER CALLED BACK, INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL. I CANCELLED APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS. ANOTHER LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SPECIALIZING IN EUROPEAN VEHICLES VERIFIED THAT FUEL PUMP HAS CRACKS AND IS LEAKING FUEL. A FULL RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL VIN'S SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE FACT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN TWO PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A SYSTEMIC FLAW WITH THIS PART. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
THERE WERE FOUR OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME FROM THE MALL, WE NOTICED A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE LIGHTS AND RADIO. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT CRANKED BACK UP IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY TWO MORE MILES AND PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WE HEARD A SOUND LIKE AN ALARM, BUT IT WAS SO FAINT; BEFORE WE HAD TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT FURTHER, THE CAB BEGAN TO FILL WITH BLACKISH GREY SMOKE INTO THE BACKSEAT AREA. WE ALL GOT OUT QUICKLY AND WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. I NOTICED FLAMES BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT (WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED) AND TOLD MY HUSBAND. HE OPENED THE TRUNK (BURNING HIS FINGERTIPS), AND FLAMES SHOT UP INTO THE AIR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 BECAUSE THE FLAMES WERE HIGH AND FAST-MOVING. THE 911 DISPATCHER INSTRUCTED US TO STAY AWAY FROM THE CAR AND NOT TRY TO PUT THE FIRE OUT DUE TO THE OBVIOUS DANGERS OF A FAST-MOVING CAR FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES AND BEGAN PUTTING THE FIRE OUT; HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS UP TO THE ENGINE, WHICH WAS NOT BURNED. AFTER INSPECTION, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DEEMED IT A LOSS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAVE CONTACTED VOLVO, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ME AS OF YET. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, AND WE ARE WORRIED THAT VOLVO MAY HAVE MISSED ONE. FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS, I AM REPORTING THIS SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAR REMAINS IN OUR DRIVEWAY AWAITING INSURANCE ADJUSTMENT; HOWEVER, I AM HOPEFUL THAT EITHER VOLVO OR SOMEONE WHO DOES SAFETY INSPECTIONS WOULD CLAIM THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE FURTHER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VOLVO S60 IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO START AND IS BEGINNING TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL FILTER. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL IN OTHER STATES LIKE ARIZONA AND FLORIDA BUT APPARENTLY VOLVO HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR CARS IN CALIFORNIA. IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS LEAKING FUEL DUE TO A MANUFACTURES DEFECT REGARDLESS OF WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA INSTRUCT VOLVO TO INCLUDE ALL STATES IN THE RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE FUEL FILTER. PLEASE SEND ME ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE SOMETIMES, NOT ALWAYS, THAT SAYS "CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS". WHEN THE MESSAGE IS UP, THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAKES IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE DO NOT ILLUMINATE, BUT THE MIDDLE ONE IN THE BACK OF MY REAR WINDOW STILL DOES. WHEN THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY, ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING TO 35 MPH, ENTIRE DASHBOARD BLACKED OUT. NO SPEEDOMETER, NO ODOMETER, NO GAS GAUGE,NO MESSAGE. RADIO, WINDOWS, AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY, AS DID HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNALS. I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED CAR. SAME SYMPTOMS. THE THIRD TIME I RESTARTED CAR I RECEIVED MESSAGE ON PANEL, SRS/AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I COULD NOT RETRIEVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING AVERAGE SPEED, HOW FULL GAS TANK IS, ETC. I JUST WENT OUT TO MY CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 21/2 HOURS SINCE THE INCIDENT, TO GET THE MILEAGE FOR THIS REPORT AND PANEL LIGHTS HAVE DISAPPEARED AGAIN! I WILL GET CAR TO MECHANIC TOMORROW, BUT I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN,AND ESPECIALLY WITH NIGHT TIME OR HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY DRIVING! MY MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 94,000 MILES. I COULD NOT GET A READING FROM MY ODOMETER AS THE PANEL IS BLACKED OUT AGAIN! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'VE HAD MY CAR ALL OF 4 MONTHS AND I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN IT GOT REALLY HOT OUTSIDE (SUMMER) AND WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR IT WOULD STALL AS IF IT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING UP. LONG STORY SHORT I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER, THEY RUN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AN TELL ME THERE IS A CRACK IN MY FUEL PUMP. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA WHICH IS NOT ONE OF THE STATES LISTED FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. I HIGHLY BELIEVE MY CAR HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE IN THE SPRING TIME, WHEN IT WASN'T SO HOT MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. THE VOLVO DEALER SHIP CHARGED ME $98.11/HR TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST WHICH CAME TO $102.83. THEN ON TOP OF THAT THEY CHARGED ME $795 + TAX FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP AFTER FINDING THERE WAS A CRACK IN IT. EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME THAT MY FUEL PUMP IS NOT ON THE RECALL BUT IT HAS THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS ALL OTHER VOLVO CARS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE RECALL. I'M TRYING TO RESEARCH HOW I COULD FIND OUT HOW THESE PEOPLE KNOW IF MY FUEL PUMP WAS RECALLED OR NOT. I HAVE TWIN 2 YEAR OLD GIRLS THAT I HAD IN MY CAR ALL A WHILE IT WAS HAVING THIS UNKNOWN ISSUE. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL AND COULD OF CAUSED US HARM. LUCKILY MY FATHER IS CAR SMART AND INFORMED ME WHAT THE POSSIBLE ISSUE COULD BE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DEAD, AND WILL NOT COME BACK TO LIFE. THE TACHOMETER, ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE ARE OFF AS THOUGH THE CAR IS OFF. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE QUOTED ME $1200+ TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE INSTRUMENTS WENT DEAD WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND LEAVE ME WITHOUT THE INFORMATION I NEED TO SAFELY DRIVE. VOLVO SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THE FAULTY PARTS, THERE A QUITE A FEW FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WHERE OTHER VOLVO DRIVERS HAVE THE SAME INSTRUMENT FAILURE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IN MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY MALFUNCTIONING (ABOUT 10-15 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN MAY) CAUSING IT TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 5 MPH. THIS CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ACTIVATED. I THEN HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE. THEN MY CRUISE CONTROL IS INOPERATIVE UNTIL I RESTART THE VEHICLE. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED AFTER THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST VOLVO REPAIR CENTER FOUR TIMES TO BE REPAIRED BUT THE MALFUNCTION STILL OCCURS. VOLVO IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE MY CAR UNDER THE LEMON LAW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PURCHASED USED S60 IN NOVEMBER 2011 WITH 137,000 MILES. A FEW WEEKS LATER VARIOUS PROBLEMS MANIFESTED: SCRAMBLED LETTERS IN DASHBOARD MESSAGE, DRIVER DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY WORKED, RADIO SELF TUNED TO DIFFERENT STATION, SPEEDOMETER GIVING FALSE READINGS OR STUCK AT CURRENT SPEED OR READING ZERO, FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION, ALL INSTRUMENTS ON PANEL FLICKERED, ALL INSTRUMENTS WENT "DARK" WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST RESTARTING CAR WOULD CLEAR PROBLEM. THEN FREQUENCY BETWEEN FAILURES INCREASED. JUST BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE - CAR NEEDED TO BE "COLD" FOR INSTRUMENTS TO WORK - WITH INSTRUMENTS FAILING ONCE ENGINE WARMED. FINALLY IN FEBRUARY 2012 AT ABOUT 147,021 MILES THE PANEL COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING - GIVING DRIVER NO READINGS (SPEED, FUEL, TEMP, MILEAGE, OR WARNING INDICATORS) AND WOULD NOT RESET. INTERNET FORUMS OF VOLVO OWNERS SUGGESTED IT WAS A DRIVER INFORMATION MODULE FAILURE. OWNERS FORUMS PINPOINTED 3 PROBABLE CAUSES OF A DIM FAILURE - 1. LOOSE CONNECTION OF THE MOTOROLA MICROCHIP, 2. LOOSE CAPACITOR/RESISTOR 3. LACK OF PROTECTION FROM HEAT/HEAT TRANSFER TO INDIVIDUAL PRONGS IN MICROCHIP OR BETWEEN CAPACITOR/RESISTOR AND THE CIRCUIT BOARD. SOME ELECTRICALLY SAVVY OWNERS FIXED BY REFLOWING/RESOLDERING/HEAT PROTECTING SAID COMPONENTS. OUR LOCAL VOLVO DEALER CONFIRMED DIM FAILURE AND QUOTED APROX. $1500 FOR A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND 3 HRS. LABOR. WE CHOSE TO SEND DIM/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OUT FOR A REFURBISHMENT TO BAA REMANUFACTURING INC. ON REINSTALLATION WARNING MESSAGE READ "SRA/AIRBAG-SERVICE URGENT". ASKED DEALER TO CLEAR DIM CODE FIRST, THEN FROM SRS MODULE PER BAA-REMAN INSTRUCTIONS. DEALER JOB DESCRIPTION/RECEIPT STATED THEY CLEARED CODES DIM 0001, 0003, 0005, 0006, E003, SRS 00D4, E003. NO PROBLEMS WITH LOCKS/RADIO/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SINCE REMANUFACTURE IN THE LAST 10,000 MILES/5 MONTHS. VOLVO'S ORIGINAL DIM CIRCUIT BOARD POORLY DESIGNED/ASSEMBLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL PANEL FAILS (GAS GAUGE SAYS EMPTY), PASSENGER AND REAR DOOR LOCKS, FUEL DOOR, AND TRUNK OPENING ALSO FAILS. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS UNLESS PULLING THE DOOR LOCK UP MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE CAR SO THEREFORE CAN'T GET TO CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT WITHOUT CRAWLING THROUGH THE FRONT SEAT AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THEIR DOOR. HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR BECAUSE GAS GAUGE FAILS AND CANNOT GET FUEL DOOR TO OPEN CONSITENTLY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO REFUEL. CAR ALARM WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND COULD NOT OPEN THE CAR DOORS TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THEREFORE BATTERY DRAINED. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. A CHILD COULD GET TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE OR SOMEONE COULD GET INTO THE CAR FOR FEAR OF LOCKING DOORS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THEM UNLOCKED. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET -REAR ELECTRICAL MODULE FAILURE AND VOLVO NEEDS TO ADDRESS AS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *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
