POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY - THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING (NO JERK, ONLY AN "CLICK" SOUND). IT HAPPENS ANYTIME BUT SEEMS WORSE IN THE SUMMER BUT I THINK IT'S HOT-HEAT RELATED. THE OTHER ISSUES ARE RELATED: -THE INTERIOR LIGHTS USUALLY COME ON -THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES COMPLETELY BLANK/LIGHTS GO OFF/NO AVAILABLE EMERGENCY LIGHTS -THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAKE ONE WIPE SOMETIMES -THE "REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPEN" WARNING COMES ON -THE "BRAKE FAILURE STOP SAFELY" WARNING COMES ON AND SOMETIMES "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON. NOT ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS OCCUR EACH TIME. THERE ARE MORE SEVERE AND LESS SEVERE INCIDENTS. *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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DEAD AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING. MESSAGES CAME UP SAYING THAT THERE WAS AN SRS AIRBAG ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE. ALL OF THE MESSAGES WERE FALSE AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT DEAD. THIS IS A CONCERN SINCE THE MESSAGES ARE INCORRECT ACCORDING TO WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THAT VOLVO SHOULD REPLACE ALL OF THE DIMS AND CEMS FOR EVERY CAR THAT EXHIBITS THIS PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME FOR VEHICLES UNDER 125,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CLUSTER HAS GONE DEAD. ALSO EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN RAINING AND THE DEALER HAS SAID THAT THERE ARE NO SHORTS IN THE SYSTEM. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THEY ARE REPLACING EVERY PART WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR SEEMS TO BE STALLING. I TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY SAID IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE. THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL AS I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. AFTER I CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE IT DOES IMPROVE, BUT ONCE I STOP OR NEED TO REDUCE MY SPEED AS I BEGIN TO RE-ACCELERATE IT SEEMS SLUGGISH. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE. I DON'T LET MY CAR IDLE UNLESS I AM STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND DON'T ACCELERATE FORCEFULLY. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICING SOON AS WAS TOLD THERE WAS A THROTTLE ISSUE WITH THE VOLVOS. I AM JUST NOT SURE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. *TR
