ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2005 VOLVO S40 T5 WHICH I HAVE ENJOYED THUS FAR. HOWEVER EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN YOU INSERT THE KEY, WHICH IS AN ELECTRONIC KEY THE MESSAGE DISPLAY WILL DISPLAY "KEY ERROR TRY AGAIN." WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL, NOTHING INSIDE THE CAR INCLUDING THE RADIO WILL WORK EITHER. AFTER 20 TO 30 TIMES TRYING TO START THE CAR THE KEY WILL EVENTUALLY START THE CAR. THERE ARE 2 KEYS TO MY CAR AND THIS HAPPENS WITH BOTH KEYS, SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE KEY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY FOR EXAMPLE IT WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES OVER A WEEK OR SO AND THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. IT RECENTLY STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY SINCE. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO BE IN SUCH A NICE CAR AND IT NOT START. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IN ADDITION TO THE "KEY ERROR TRY AGAIN" MESSAGE THE MESSAGE DISPLAY WILL ALSO DISPLAY MESSAGES INCLUDING "BRAKE FAILURE, STOP CAR SAFELY" AND "IMMOBILIZER SEE MANUAL." THE BRAKES ARE FINE, BECAUSE THEY WORK ON THE WAY HOME AND WORK WHILE THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR WAS RESET AND THAT SEEMED TO HELP TEMPORARILY, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS MATTER BEING INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED IF POSSIBLE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2001 VOLVO S40 SUDDENLY STARTS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED I AM TRAVELLING. IT CAN HAPPEN AT SLOW SPEEDS OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON OR OFF. IT HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK OR THE ACCELERATOR. IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN HAVE MY FEET COMPLETELY OFF BOTH PEDALS AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR IS BY BREAKING EXTREMELY HARD - AND THAT BARELY STOPS THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN I FINALLY AM ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND PUT IN IN PARK, THE CAR ACCELERATES EVEN MORE. THE CARE ACCELERATES INTO THE 7,000 TO 8,000 RPM RANGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 VOLVO S40, FWD T5: MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AROUND MIDNIGHT GOING APPROX. 75-80 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HER CAR SHUT OFF. WHEN I SAY SHUT OFF I MEAN THE HEADLIGHTS, DOME LIGHTS, ENGINE....ANYTHING THAT WAS ELECTRICAL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP. SO IMAGINE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AT 80 MPH WITH TRAFFIC AROUND YOU AND YOU'RE LIGHTS GOING OUT, STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AND HAVING NO WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. TO ME THIS SOUNDS LIKE A 80 MPH INVISIBLE TORPEDO THAT COULD HAVE KILLED A FEW PEOPLE INCLUDING MY WIFE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE NEXT MORNING THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A DEAD BATTERY, WHICH THEY WERE CORRECT. NOW I'M NO ROCKET SURGEON BY ANY MEANS BUT TO ME THIS SOUNDS LIKE A FLAW IN THE SAFETY DEPT. SOMEWHERE. SOMETHING AS TRIVIAL AS A DEAD BATTERY WOULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE LIKE THAT? I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER AND SOME SORT OF QUALITY CONTROL AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S40. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V033000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE COMPONENT AFTER IT FAILED ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND PERFORMED THE REPAIRS; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE PUMP ELECTRIC MODULE AND THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I PULLED OVER IN THE GARAGE AND PLACED THE CAR IN PARK. THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV. I STEPPED ON THE GAS A COUPLE OF TIMES AND AFTER ABOUT 4 MINUTES IT RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL OPERATING RPM AFTER WHICH I WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2003 VOLVO S40 HAS BEEN DRIVEN FEWER THAN 70,000 MILES. ALL VOLVO RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND IS DOCUMENTED. MY VOLVO DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT AT ALL REASONABLE TO HAVE A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ONLY 70, 000 MILES. I FEEL VOLVO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AT LEAST THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO THE COST AND INCONVENIENCE, THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE PRESENTED A HAZARD THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY VOLVO WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A FRONTAGE ROAD WITH THE INTENTION OF ENTERING A FREEWAY. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, A RIGHT TURN WAS MADE FROM THE FRONTAGE ROAD TO A 4-LANE ROAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION WENT TO NEUTRAL DURING THE TURN AND THE VOLVO COASTED TO A STOP JUST PAST THE CORNER IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THIS BUSY ROAD. FORTUNATELY, A POLICE CAR WAS JUST A HUNDRED FEET AWAY, SAW THE VOLVO STOP IN THE TRAFFIC LANE AND PULLED IN BEHIND THE STOPPED VOLVO WITH LIGHTS FLASHING TO WARN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONLY THE PROXIMITY OF THE POLICE CAR AVOIDED BEING HIT FROM THE REAR BY VEHICLES TRAVELING IN THE LANE WHERE THE VOLVO STOPPED. THE POLICE CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES BETWEEN 2003 AND THE PRESENT AND FEEL IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2006 VOLVO S40 HAS HAD NUMEROUS AND INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES INCLUDING GAUGES THAT GO HAYWIRE, FALSE AIRBAG FAILURE OR BRAKE FAILURE MESSAGES, LOCKS THAT DON'T ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE AND TRACTION CONTROL THAT SEEMS TO STICK OR MALFUNCTION. ON A FEW OCCASIONS THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM READOUT GO COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE I'M GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. THESE ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT BUT THEY TEND TO BE MORE PERTINENT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, AND ON DECEMBER 6, 2010 ALL THESE FALSE READOUTS WERE HAPPENING ONE AFTER ANOTHER, FOLLOWED BY A "REDUCED POWER" READING AND THE ENGINE BRIEFLY DECELERATED. VOLVO DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX THE ISSUES IN THE PAST AND I'M HESITANT TO SPEND HUNDREDS MORE ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT "NO CODES WERE FOUND." *TR
