STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO S80. WHILE MAKING A SHARP TURN AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE POWER STEERING ACTIVATED AND MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE POWER STEERING RACK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
AFTER PURCHASING A VOLVO S80 IN APRIL 2003 FROM VOLVO NORTH SCOTTSDALE, MY WIFE (WHO DRIVES THE CAR) BEGAN EXPERIENCING A FUEL INJECTION PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE CAR WAS ROUTINELY SERVICED AT VOLVO NORTH SCOTTSDALE, SHE COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER FAILED TO REPAIR IT. AFTER TIRING OF THE DETERIORATING SERVICE QUALITY AT VOLVO NORTH SCOTTSDALE, MY WIFE BEGAN HAVING THE CAR SERVICED AT POWELL VOLVO, TO WHOM SHE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN OF THE FUEL INJECTION PROBLEM. THAT DEALER ALSO FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SWEDISH AUTO WERKS, TO WHOM SHE ALSO COMPLAINED OF THE FUEL INJECTION PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN 35,990 MILES. BY THIS TIME, SHE WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING AN INTERMITTENT SLOW/LONG CRANK STARTING THE CAR, WHICH WAS THOUGHT TO BE DUE TO A FAILING BATTERY. SHE COMPLAINED OF THIS ALSO TO SWEDISH AUTO WERKS. SWEDISH AUTO WERKS DIAGNOSED THE CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM AS NOT ONLY A FAILING BATTERY BUT ALSO A CRACKED FUEL PUMP HOSE NIPPLE. IN ADDITION TO A NEW BATTERY, IT INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $821.97. THE CAR NOW RUNS VERY WELL. IN A SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER VOLVO OWNER, MY WIFE LEARNED AND HAS SINCE CONFIRMED THAT THIS FUEL PUMP PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRENT WITH THE VOLVO S SERIES SINCE AL LEAST 2002-03 AND THAT VOLVO KNOWS OF IT. MY WIFE ALSO LEARNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A "SILENT RECALL" PROMPTED BY THIS PROBLEM--I.E., IF THE PROBLEM IS RECOGNIZED BY A VOLVO DEALER, VOLVO WILL FIX IT AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. NEITHER VOLVO NORTH SCOTTSDALE NOR POWELL VOLVO IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM DESPITE MY WIFE'S REPEATED COMPLAINTS TO THEM. BY OCTOBER 4, 2007 LETTER AND ATTACHED COPY OF THE REPAIR INVOICE TO VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE CENTER, I REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. IN REPLY, VOLVO DENIED MY REQUEST, STATING THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO RECALL. THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN THE REPAIR WAS MADE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2001 VOLVO S80 T6 WITH 61000 MILES. WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS "SLIPPING" OUT OF GEAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS... THE RPMS WOULD FLAIR THEN NORMALIZE. YESTERDAY THE CAR JUST QUIT MOVING. IT WAS TOWED TO THE VOLVO DEALER AND I WAS JUST TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND WOULD COST $4000 TO REPLACE WITH A REMANUFACTURED ONE. MY PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I'VE FOUND THAT ITS WELL KNOWN THE TRANSMISSION IS A PROBLEM AND SINCE THEY TEND TO FAIL AFTER 50000 MILES, VOLVO'S WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. NOW I'M STUCK WITH PUTTING THE SAME WORTHLESS TRANSMISSION BACK INTO THE VEHICLE ONLY TO EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. VOLVO NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO AT LEAST 100000 MILES. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 65 MILES AN HOUR ON I395 AND I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MOVE INTO THE TRAVEL LANE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY SPEED STARED TO REDUCE AND ALL OF THE POWER SHUT OFF IN THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND NO INDICATION ON WHAT THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. I CHECKED FOR VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND AROUND ME AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. I QUICKLY PULLED OFF OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND MANAGED TO STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY - NEXT TO THE MEDIAN). THE POLICE HAD SEEN ME PULL OVER AND CALLED A WRECKER SERVICE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (FOREIGN MOTORS EAST IN BROOKLYN, CT) AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND THIS JUST HAPPENED AGAIN LAST MONTH (JUNE 20TH 2007). IT WAS THE SAME CONDITIONS...DRIVING ON I395 WHEN THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I WAITED 2 MINUTES AND TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I DROVE THE NEXT 45 MINUTES WITH NO ISSUES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'M A NEW OWNER OF A 2001 S80 T6 WITH 66K MILES. SECOND DAY OF OWNERSHIP I'M ON MY WAY HOME IN THE PASSING LANE OF A FREEWAY IN MA, TRAFFIC SLOWS TO A STOP. AS I ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS. I PULL TO THE LEFT OF THE TRAVELING LANE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY, I PULL UP TO A RED LIGHT, ACCELERATE AND THE CAR STALLS. I PUT IT IN PARK, RESTART THE CAR, AND AWAY I GO. NO MESSAGES, NO CHECK ENGINE, NO CODES THAT I KNOW OF. I TRAVEL 100 MILES A DAY, AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS AT LEAST EVERY OTHER DAY. THIS PROBLEM IN INTERMITTANT AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE HIGHWAY I TRAVEL ON ALLOWS TRAVEL IN BREAKDOWN LANES DURING RUSH HOUR. I NEED TO TRAVEL IN THE RIGHT TRAVEL LANE ALWAYS IN THE EVENT OF ANOTHER STALL. DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. PROBLEM CONTINUES. RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY, "NO CODES, NO NEW THROTTLE". THAT'S THE VOLVO POLICY, GALLO VOLVO, WORCESTER, MASS. LOU IS THE SERVICE MANAGER. HOW MANY TIMES DOES MY CAR NEED TO UNEXPECTEDLY STALL BEFORE MY CAR SHOWS A CODE SO I CAN REPAIR MY FAULTY ETM? IT'S DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND ME.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR HESITATES WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND IN ORDER TO SPEED UP THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED AGAIN. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES. THE SECOND TIME I COMPLAINED THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE CAR AND SAID IT THE WAY THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WORKED THAT WAY. I BROUGHT IT BACK IN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID OTHER CARS HAD SIMILAR DIFFICULTIES, AND THEY REPLACED A COMPUTER CHIP. THE PICK-UP WAS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL NOT LIKE OTHER CARS. THE LATEST FAILURE OCCURRED AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED AND I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME THE CAR SPED ACROSS THE ROAD AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE. *TR
