FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES TO COMPLAIN THAT NOT ONLY DID THE INSIDE OF THE CAR ALWAYS SMELL LIKE FUEL, BUT THE DRIVER AND ALL HER CLOTHES SMELLED LIKE FUEL. WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT YEARS AFTER THE FACT, VOLVO CONTACTS US TO TELL US THERE IS A FUEL PROBLEM. WE NO LONGER OWN THE CAR, NOR WOULD WE EVER BUY ANOTHER VOLVO AGAIN, DUE TO THE LACK OF CONCERN AND HELP WE RECEIVED WHEN OWNING THIS VEHICLE. WE TRIED SPEAKING TO VARIOUS EMPLOYEES AND SERVICE PERSONAL, BUT WE GOT NO WHERE. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE PANEL LIGHTS COME ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. HAD TO REPLACE THE OCM SENSOR AND THE ECM SENSOR MCKIVITT VOLVO IN SAN LEANDRO ([XXX]) SERVICE MGR. HAS NEVER MENTION ANY TYPE OF RECALLS TO THE CAR. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTION AT MY COST. HAD TO GET A SMOG IN AUG 2013, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON NOT ALLOWING ME TO SMOG WITH OUT REPAIRS TO OXYGEN SENSORS, DURING THIS VISIT MY CONTROL ARMS WERE NOTICEABLY BROKEN, THEY SAID NOTHING. I FOUND OUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK AFTER THEM CHANGING THE OXYGEN SENSORS TO PASS SMOG AND I GOT THE SMOG AND A OIL CHANGE THEY NOTIFIED ME, I HAD THEM REPLACED BY A CHEAPER MECH IN APRIL 2014 @ 75,000 MILES. NOW IT'S AUGUST 2014 AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN VERY STEEP HILL@ 45MPH AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF CAUSING LIMP MODE AND ME HITTING A CURB TO STOP. TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP@ 84,601 MILES AND BEING TOLD IT'S NORMAL, CLEAN OR REPLACE THE ETM SENSOR NOW CHARGING ME $2,000. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED RECALL. I'M LOST NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE. ISN'T VOLVO SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR DO WE HAVE TO DIE AND THEN YEARS LATER YOU GUYS AT VOLVO CORPORATION FIGURE THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION.. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO??? ALL THIS SERVICE MANAGER WANTS IS MONEY AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE'S SAFETY. I WAS LAUGHED AT TODAY BEING TOLD THAT OH YOU'VE ONLY TRAVEL 25,000 MI AND I'VE SEEN YOU 4 TIMES SINCE THEN, IT'S NOT A HONDA AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO PUT SOME MUSCLE INTO IT WHEN IT DOES THIS LIMP MODE. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH ALONG WITH MY FAMILY AND WAS LAUGHED AT IN MY FACE WITH A SMILE TELLING ME HE'LL CALL AND TELL ME HOW MUCH$$$.
