FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN, THERE IS OFTEN A LOSS OF POWER AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD FOR UP TO 5 TO 10 SECONDS. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL ALREADY BUT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE WITH MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. HOWEVER OUR VEHICLE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO VOLVO BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO WORK WITH US TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE PREVIOUS RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPANDED BUT I AM UNSURE. THANK YOU *TR

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS COMPLAINT PERTAINS TO THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT-HEATER. WHEN ACTIVATED, ON THE LOWEST OF 2 SETTINGS, THE OCCUPANT OF THE DRIVERS-SIDE FRONT SEAT EXPERIENCES A BURNING-PAIN SENSATION IN THE RIGHT-REAR AREA OF THE THIGH, AFTER 60-90 SECONDS OF THE SEAT HEATER BEING ACTIVATED VIA DASH BUTTON. THE OWNER OF THE CAR WORRIES THAT: 1.) ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF THE DRIVERS-SIDE SEAT HEATER, WITH NO OCCUPANT IN THAT SEAT, COULD RESULT IN THERMAL DAMAGE TO THE LEATHER AND PADDING OF THE SEAT, AS WELL AS COMBUSTION LEADING TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CAR. 2.) ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION OF THE SEAT-HEATER WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE DRIVERS-SIDE FRONT SEAT COULD RESULT IN, SUDDEN AND EXTREME, DISCOMFORT TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, RESULTING IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE PHYSICAL REACTION TO PAIN, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE AUTOMOBILE TO LEAVE THE ROAD, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. 3.) THE VALUE OF THE CAR TO BE DECREASED UPON POTENTIAL SALE OF THE CAR, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SEAT DOES NOT HEAT AS INTENDED, AND ADDITIONALLY POSES A DANGER TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THIS APPARATUS' FAILURE TO OPERATE AS INTENDED IS IN NO PART DUE TO THE OWNERS FOLLOWING OF RECOMMENDED SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES, WOULD BE INTERPRETED AS A "DEFECT" BY THE POTENTIAL BUYER, THUS DEVALUING THE CAR, IS WORRISOME. A FIRE CAUSED INADVERTENTLY, OR SUDDEN PAIN CAUSING A VEHICLE OPERATOR TO INVOLUNTARILY TAKE HIS/HER WHOLE FOCUS OFF OF THE TASK OF DRIVING, CERTAINLY CONSTITUTES A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE. AN ISSUE, AFFECTING THE IMMEDIATE VEHICLES' DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS, AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. VOLVO SUBMODEL: V70 "R" . *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE THE OLD OWNER SAID THERE WAS A RECALL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. I CONTACTED THE VOLVO DEALER HE RAN VIN BUT NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH READ FUEL SENSOR. THE RECALL I SAW FOR THIS YEAR CAR IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE ISSUED. COULD MY CAR HAVE BEEN MISSED? NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V226000 RECALL DATE: 2007-06-05 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATED ON THE LEFT END OF THE FUEL RAIL MAY, AT TIMES, TRANSMIT INCORRECT SIGNAL REGARDING THE FUEL PRESSURE TO THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. IF THE SIGNAL IS OUTSIDE OF THE PRE-PROGRAMMED ALLOWABLE LIMITS, A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE MAY BE SET AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE SOLDERED JOINTS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD OF THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR MAY CRACK DUE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS. CONSEQUENCES: MISFIRE MAY OCCUR DURING DRIVING THAT, IN TURN, WILL REDUCE THE ENGINE TORQUE AND IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, THE ENGINE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS THIS COULD CAUSE AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND POSSIBLY A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 29, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLVO AT 1-800-458-1552. COMPONENT AFFECTED: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING NOTES: VOLVO CARS OF N.A., LLC *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT ON THE STREET, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, BUT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. IT TOOK ME ALMOST 20 MINUTES OF JIGGLING THE KEY AROUND AND SPRAYING WD40 INTO THE IGNITION CYLINDER BEFORE BEING ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY GET THE KEY TO TURN ENOUGH TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I AM NOT A WEAK PERSON AND WAS HONESTLY AFRAID THAT THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS APPLYING WAS GOING TO CAUSE THE KEY TO BREAK OFF IN THE IGNITION. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST VOLVO DEALER (CHERRY HILL, NJ) AND SINCE THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY MORNING, I HAD TO LEAVE THE KEYS WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE PROBLEM ON A DROPBOX FORM. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT TODAY, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUSTOM ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART FROM SWEDEN AND THAT IT COULD BE A WEEK BEFORE MY CAR IS REPAIRED. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ATTACH A LARGE AMOUNT OF KEYS TO THEIR CAR KEY AND IT CAUSES STRESS ON THE IGNITION CYLINDER. I HAVE NEVER, EVER DONE THAT. I ALWAYS KEEP MY CAR AND HOUSE KEYS SEPARATE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, SO THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. AFTER LOOKING FOR MORE INFO ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS HAPPENS ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS WITH OTHER OWNERS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND AM RELIGIOUS ABOUT KEEPING IT IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER WITH ROUTINE, SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO BE ABLE TO SHUT A CAR OFF WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING SHOULD CERTAINLY BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS. *TR

ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ENGINE STOPPED ON FREEWAY, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. EXACT DESCRIPTION AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. 07V226000. DEALER (CARLSEN VOLVO, PALO ALTO, CA), CLAIMED THE CAR HAD NO INDICATION OF RECALLS ON THEIR COMPUTER, BUT VOLVO RECALL CAMPAIGN R181 CLEARLY STATES MY VEHICLE AND SPECIFIC ENGINE # 61 (6TH AND 7TH DIGITS IN VIN) WERE SUBJECT OF RECALL FOR THE SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS INVOLVED. I CALLED VOLVO U.S. AND THEY GAVE ME THE SAME ROTE RESPONSE, "YOUR VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SHOW UP AS BEING INCLUDED IN R181". THIS IS PATENTLY FALSE. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, CARLSEN VOLVO SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FREE. INSTEAD, OVER THE COURSE OF 2YEARS AND MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER, THEY NEVER PROPERLY DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOUR ENGINE STALLS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS ARE AT SEVERE RISK! I WANT MY FREE REPAIR FROM VOLVO! I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY V70 OWNER WHO HAS BEEN LIED TO IN THIS SPECIFIC WAY BY VOLVO AND THEIR DEALERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2004 VOLVO V70 ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. AT THE TIME, WE WERE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR. LUCKILY THERE WAS A SIDE ROAD NEARBY SO WE WERE ABLE TO COAST, STOP, AND RESTART THE CAR SAFELY. SINCE THAT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND THEN GOING OFF AND THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASSIONS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO VOLVO AND THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS ON OUR 2004 VOLVO V70 AND PERFORMED A $65 DIAGONSTIC SERVICE AND DETERMINED THAT OUR FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $400. WE PULLED RECALL INFORMATION FOR OUR CAR OFF MOTORTREND'S SITED (SEE BELOW) AND FORWARDED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED VOLVO'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT TEAM AND THEY SAID OUR CAR WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND HAD NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. WE COUNTERED THAT RECALLS ARE NOT WARRANTY CLAIMS AND FALL OUTSIDE THAT WINDOW. OUR CAR HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE LISTED IN RECALL LISTED BELOW AND THE REPAIR AND DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOULD BE HONORED BY VOLVO!! RECALL DATE JUN 05, 2007 CONSEQUENCES: MISFIRE MAY OCCUR DURING DRIVING THAT, IN TURN, WILL REDUCE THE ENGINE TORQUE AND IN THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, THE ENGINE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS THIS COULD CAUSE AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND POSSIBLY A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 29, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VOLVO AT 1-800-458-1552. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON A RECENT RAINY AFTERNOON I STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION IN MY 2004 V70, SUBJECTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR, AND AFTER SEVERAL MORE STALL OUTS AND RESTARTS I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WHERE I CALLED MY REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED IN FOR REPAIR. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, ORDERED THE PART FROM THE LOCAL VOLVO DEALER AND REPAIRED MY CAR; THE TOTAL BILL, INCLUDING TOWING WAS $615. LATER THAT WEEK, MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP VEHICLE RECALLS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND RECALL #R181 WHICH EXACTLY DESCRIBED MY SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BEFORE MY CAR STALLED AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT GREAT RISK. *TR
