SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS / TRACTION CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH VOLVOS. MY MECHANIC FROM PRO VOLVO (TELE# 732-303-0770)CLAIMS HE CHANGES 2 ABS MODULES EVERY WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN STOCKS 14 OF THESE MODULES IN ITS INVENTORY. THE REPAIR IS ALSO NOT CHEAP AT APPROX. $650.00. MR

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, AND MY 8-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER CLOSED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE CONTACTED VOLVO, AND THEY INSPECTED THE CAR ON SEPT. 5. THEY PROMISED TO GIVE ME A FULL REPORT ALONG WITH A DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR WITHIN A WEEK. IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE WEEKS, AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT SUPPLIED THE REPORT OR A DECISION DESPITE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS THAT I HAVE MADE TO THEM. THEY SAY THAT THEY WILL GLADLY PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF IT'S THEIR FAULT, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO PUT ME OFF AND SEEM TO BE LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE NOT TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. NLM

#766451August 30, 2002
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CAR TO RAPIDLY LOSE SPEED. HAD IT HAPPENED DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HIGHER SPEEDS THEN AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THIS FAILURE SEEMS EXTREMELY PREMATURE FOR THIS TYPE OF PART. 80000 MILES TRANSLATES TO ABOUT 2000 HRS OF OPERATION. IF THIS IS A NORMAL REPAIR FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR THEN VOLVO HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF NHTSA HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PART AND ITS FAILURE RATE.*AK
