ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO FAILURE, ENGINE TORQUE WOULD FLUCTUATE AT STEADY HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT AFFECT THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE VISIBLY, I COULD FEEL IT IN THE SEAT OF MY PANTS. AFTER GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY (IN A BAD DETROIT NEIGHBORHOOD AND IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION), THE ENGINE FAILED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR AND THE INFORMATION DISPLAY INDICATED "PERFORMANCE REDUCED." I PROCEEDED FIVE MILES TO MY HOME AT NO MORE THAN 10-20 MPH WHICH WAS ALL THE CAR COULD MUSTER. THE CAR RESTARTED NORMALLY THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE AND ASSOCIATED GASKETS ALONG WITH A SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR APPROX. $1062 *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2001 VOLVO V70 2.4T WAGON 12-16-01 FROM THE DEALER, WHO HAD USED IT AS A LOANER VEHICLE. THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE THROTTLE CONTROL. FOR ABOUT A MONTH IT WOULD FEEL AS IF A PLUG WAS BAD OR A FUEL LINE CLOGGED WHEN DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED. IT WASN'T AT FIRST NOTICEABLE DURING ACCELERATION. THEN A "REDUCED PERFORMANCE" MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH. FINALLY, ON 8-20-05, THE CAR STALLED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER IN RENO TO GET IT REPAIRED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC. JUST A MATTER OF TIMING AND THIS PROBLEM COULD WELL HAVE BEEN DEADLY. IT RESTARTED AND WE MADE IT INTO THE DEALER. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND THE PVC SYSTEM CLEANED, AS THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE PROBLEM CAUSED IT TO NEED CLEANING. THE TOTAL BILL WAS $1,336.49. I FEEL VOLVO HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE, AND JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, WHICH MUST BE ONLY A FRACTION OF THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT CAUSES DEATHS ON THE HIGHWAY IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS WITH MY VOLVO V70 SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 1998. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE VOLVO REPAIR DEALER FOR MANY REPAIRS (I HAVE ORGANIZED DOCUMENTS OF ALL THE REPAIR ORDERS) CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS "LOST OF POWER" WHILE DRIVING. MOSTLY ON SMALL ROADS AND ONLY ONCE ON AN INTERSTATE. ORIGINALLY STARTED UNDER WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SAME PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF VOLVO NORTH AMERICA'S SECRETARY. I HAVE HAD MANY PARTS REPLACED TRYING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION INCLUDING TWO ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL UNITS (TOTALING THREE IF YOU INCLUDE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE CAR). "LOSS OF POWER", "STALLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS", "HESITATION WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR", AN OTHER COMMENTS ARE ALL DOCUMENTED IN THE VOLVO REPAIR SHOP REPAIR ORDERS. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED UNTIL THROUGHOUT MY OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND SOLD IT JUNE 05. THE REPAIRS THAT VOLVO DID TO MY V70 WOULD WORK FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE LIGHTS WOULD SOON COME BACK ON. I'D PUT UP WITH IT FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE CAR STARTED TO BECOME TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE (HESITATION) AND THEN I'D BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR. VOLVO TRIED DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS AND TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER CODES INDICATED DIFFERENT REPAIRS, BUT TO ME IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I WOULD BE GLAD TO SHARE THE ENTIRE BOOK OF REPAIR ORDERS OVER THE 7 YEARS (AND 167,000 MILES) THAT I OWNED THE CAR. AGAIN THEY WERE ALWAYS DONE AT A CERTIFIED VOLVO DEALERSHIP. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED BASICALLY THE WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING ON IN THE LATTER PART OF 2003. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT HE COULD HAVE IT CLEANED, BUT THE WARNING LIGHT COULD STILL COME ON. HE WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE TO REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE (ETM). THE CONTACT HAD IT REPLACED IN 2-04, AND JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE VALVES. HE CALLED THE DEALER STATING HE WOULD LIKE HIS MONEY BACK FROM VOLVO. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME HE HAD THE ETM REPLACED, AND BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS 64,495, THEY COULD NOT REIMBURSE HIM. THE CALLER WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2000 V70 VOLVO'S ETS SYSTEM BROKE DOWN THIS SUMMER, HAVING BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR APPROX. 5 HRS. I WAS TRAVELING HOME ON 95 FROM NY, & I WAS ON THE DC BELTWAY (495) WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE, GOING WITH THE PACE OF TRAFFIC (OR A LITTLE SLOWER - I HAD MY 23-MONTH-OLD SON IN THE CAR WITH ME), WHEN THE CAR STARTED BUCKLING A LITTLE BIT. ABOUT .10 MILE LATER, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T WORK, & I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I WAS QUICKLY DECELERATING FROM 60+ MPH DOWN TO 20. THE SHOULDERS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO ME AS THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION ON THE SIDES, BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT THE CAR WOULD JUST GO FAST ENOUGH & TRAFFIC WAS JUST LIGHT ENOUGH THAT I COULD MOVE TO THE CLOSEST EXIT - ABOUT A .5 MILES FROM THE BREAKDOWN. MY CAR ONLY HAS 75K MILES - NEARLY BRAND NEW FOR A VOLVO - SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SHOCK WHEN I FOUND MYSELF BROKEN DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DC WITH A 5-YEAR-OLD CAR. A 107-MILE TOW BACK TO RICHMOND ($300), PLUS THE $1000 FOR THE FIX WHICH INCLUDED THE HEAVILY RECOMMENDED COMPUTER UPGRADE, & I AM STILL LEARY OF THE CAR'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. (APPARENTLY THE DEALER KNOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AGAIN IF YOU DON'T UPGRADE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM). THIS SITUATION TURNED OUT TO BE A RELATIVELY SAFE ONE FOR MY FAMILY, BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY TURNED DISASTROUS - IF NOT DEADLY. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR-ENDED BY A FAST-MOVING VEHICLE ON THE BELTWAY SINCE SHOULDERS OF THE ROAD WERE NOT AN OPTION. CARS WERE WHIZZING PAST ME AT 70 MPH - I CANNOT BEAR TO IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IMPACTED AT SUCH HIGH SPEEDS - ESPECIALLY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. THIS ETS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY - ESPECIALLY SINCE SO MANY PARENTS BOUGHT VOLVOS TO TRANSPORT THEIR PRECIOUS BABIES BASED ON THEIR REPUTATION OF SAFETY. ALSO: THE CAR HAD NOT HAD ITS 60K SERVICE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT (COMPLETED MID- AUGUST, AS WELL AS THE 75K SERVICE). WE ARE THE 3RD OWNER OF THE CAR. WE BOUGHT AT AUCTION IN PA. *JB

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
IN LATE FEBRUARY 2005, MY WIFE NOTICED THAT THE CHILD SEATS IN OUR 1998 VOLVO V70 WOULD LOOSEN UP WHEN OUR CHILDREN WOULD GET IN OR MOVE IN THEIR SEATS. THESE CHILD SEATS WERE OF THE STATIONARY TYPE AND OF DIFFERENT MAKES. AS ONE OF THE REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELTS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AT NO CHARGE FOR A SIMILAR CONCERN IN JUNE 2003, WE VISITED OUR REGIONAL VOLVO DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE ISSUE. NEW BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE ORDERED AND ON MARCH 15TH OF THIS YEAR, BOTH OUTER REAR SEAT BELTS WERE REPLACED. THIS TIME, SINCE WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, I RETRIEVED THE FAILED PARTS. EXAMINATION OF BOTH SEAT BELTS BUCKLES SEEM TO SUGGEST THAT THE FAILURE OF THE BELTS' CHILD SEAT LOCKING TAB, WHICH IS PART OF THE BUCKLE, PREVENTED THE CHILD SEAT FROM STAYING SECURELY HELD IN POSITION. THESE ASSEMBLIES ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO ANALYZE AND DRAW AN EXPERT CONCLUSION. WE REQUESTED A REVIEW OF THE PROBLEM BY THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER AND FILED AN E-MAIL COMPLAINT WITH VOLVO'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THE VIN OF THE CAR IS [XXX]. *NM UPDATED 07/18/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I GOT A "REDUCED PERFORMANCE" WARNING, AND MY SPEED REDUCED GRADUALLY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HE STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM EVENTHOUGH I HAD HEARD OF IT HAPPENING TO OTHER VOLVO OWNERS ON THE NEWS BROADCAST. THIS IS UNSAFE AND HOW CAN MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

AFTER LIGHT ILLUMINATED, I DROVE THE CAR STRAIGHT HOME FROM WORK, PARKED IT AND AM CURRENTLY RESEARCHING WHERE I WILL TAKE IT TO GET REPAIRED. I HAVE RECENTLY READ NUMEROUS ARTICLES ON THIS PROBLEM THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING AS WELL, AND WANTED TO NOTE THIS INCIDENT AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2001 VOLVO V70 SPONTANEOUSLY LOST POWER AND DIED. I WAS STRANDED FAR FROM HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. AFTER SUPPOSEDLY BEING REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER ON A ROAD TRIP, AGAIN FAR FROM HOME, MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED COUGHING AND LOSING POWER, ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED, PUTTING ME AND MY PASSENGERS AT RISK. I WAS ABLE TO CRIPPLE IT ON, AND THE DEALERSHIP EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND RELATED COMPUTER MODULE, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT IT COULD POSSIBLE HAPPEN AGAIN. I LIVE IN A REMOTE AREA AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON MY CAR. I CANNOT BE STRANDED ON THE OPEN ROAD AT ANY HOUR AND IN ANY WEATHER. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT
MY CAR IS A 2005 VOLVO V70R PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2005. THREE WEEKS AGO, WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, BUT KEPT RUNNING WITH GREAT HESITATION (I WAS DRIVING AT ONLY 30 MPH AT THE TIME). TOWED TO DEALER AND THROTTLE SENSOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. YESTERDAY (9/15), THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, AFTER ONLY ABOUT 250 MILES OF DRIVING. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AGAIN AM I AWAITING WORD. IN BOTH CASES AN ERROR MESSAGE "DECREASED ENGINE PERFORMANCE" WAS DISPLAYED. THERE WAS NO ADVANCE WARNING. IN BOTH CASES, I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A SECONDARY ROAD. THESE 2 INSTANCES HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR, ESPECIALLY TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN THE SUMMER OF 2004 I THOUGHT I FELT MY BRAKES FREEZE UP, BUT JUST THOUGHT IT WAS ME, THINKING "I'M IN A YEAR OLD VOLVO, THERE'S NO WAY THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED." A FEW MONTHS LATER IT DID HAPPEN AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THAT WAS 11/19/04. ON 2/28/05 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. THEN, THE END OF APRIL I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, AND HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES, AND THEY FROZE UP AND I GLIDED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THEY RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO PUSH DOWN ON THEM (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE OTHER TIMES.). VOLVO AGAIN REPLACED THE MATER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER (AND THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED ANOTHER PART THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMPING MECHANISM (?) "JUST IN CASE." THE CAR MADE IT 4 1/2 MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY 9/9/05, GOING ABOUT 60-70 MPH, WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME APPLIED HIS BRAKES. I APPLIED MINE, AND FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEY FROZE. I ACCELERATED AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THEN HAD TO SLOW AGAIN. THIS TIME THE BRAKES FROZE FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS BEFORE THEY RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. IT IS IN THE SHOP NOW AND VOLVO ASSURES ME THAT THIS HASN'T HAPPENED IN A NEW CAR BEFORE. MY QUESTION IS: CAN THEY RECALL SOMETHING THEY CAN'T EVEN FIX??? *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AT ABOUT 8,000 MILES, MY 2001 (PURCHASED SUMMER 2002) VOLVO V70 SUDDENLY STOPPED WHEN I SLOWED DOWN ON A ROAD NEAR MY HOME. THE CAR RESTARTED, BUT DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PICK-UP AS BEFORE. I SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE CAR INTO THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE MECHANISM NEEDED CLEANING. AFTER THIS WAS DONE, THE CAR SEEMED FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A DIFFERENCE STRETCH OF ROAD. THE SEEMED WEAKER THAN BEFORE AND IT TOOK LONGER TO RESTART. THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP AGAIN DIAGNOSED A DIRTY THROTTLE, CLEANED IT, AND RETURNED IT TO ME. THE CAR SEEMED NORMAL UNTIL ABOUT 24,000 MILES, WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. THIS TIME, I TRIED MANY TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT ULTIMATELY HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS TOWED TO VOLVO, WHERE THEY TOLD IT WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM AGAIN. AFTER CLEANING, IT APPEARED NORMAL. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES, BUT I TAKE IT IN EVERY THREE MONTHS TO GET THE THROTTLE MECHANISM CLEANED AS A PRECAUTION. *JB

I OWN A 1999 VOLVO V70 AWD WAGON WITH 55,000 MILES. WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED TO SURGE. THE ETS LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGHLY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED A COMPLETE VEHICLE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (SOLD TO ME BY THE DEALER), BUT IT DID NOT COVER THIS REPAIR. *JB

I'D TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND CHARGED ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THE FOURTH TIME THE CAR PUT OUT AN ETM CODE AND THEY REPLACED THE ETM. *NM
