VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2002 VOLVO S60 EXPERIENCED A VERY SUDDEN REDUCTION IS SPEED AND HAD TO BE DRIVEN HOME IN LIMP MODE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MARTEN'S VOLVO WHERE IT HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATED AND THE THROTTLE CLEANED. THIS SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V441000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). HOWEVER, THE DEALER SAID THAT MY VEHICLE (TURBO ENGINE) IS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2004 VOLVO S60R THAT HAS TURN SIGNAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NO EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. SIMPLY ONE DAY IT NO LONGER WORKED 100% OF THE TIME. WHEN USING THE TURN INDICATOR STOCK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN IT WILL NOT DO SO IF I FULLY DEPRESS IT INTO THE LOCK POSITION. IF I HOLD IT ONLY PART OF THE WAY BEFORE IT LOCKS INTO THE POSITION IT SOMETIMES WORKS. IF I DO PUT IT INTO THE FULLY LOCKED POSITION AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES IT MAY WORK AND SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT. THIS ONLY EFFECTS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND NOT THE RIGHT. I SAW THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE (HTTP://WWW.BUSINESSWEEK.COM/NEWS/2010-07-26/VOLVO-SUVS-EXAMINED-FOR-ELECTRONICS-FLAWS-U-S-SAYS.HTML) ABOUT THE 2004 - 2005 XC90 EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. OBVIOUSLY THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE DISASTROUS IF I CANNOT SIGNAL MY INTENTIONS ON LANE CHANGING AND OTHERS WOULD THEN COLLIDE INTO ME CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH TO EITHER ONE OR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEFECTIVE PART IS STILL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO GARDEN STATE VOLVO IN WALL, NJ IN MARCH FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. THE MECHANIC "FIXED" THE INSIDE CABLE WITH DUCT TAPE AND CHARGED US $175 FOR THE REPAIR. WITHIN A WEEK THE DOOR WAS BROKEN AGAIN. I CALLED GARDEN STATE VOLVO AND ASKED FOR THE PART TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM TO BE ORDERED. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART IS BACK-ORDERED AND IS COMING FROM SWEDEN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE DRIVER CAN NOT GET OUT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TWO MALFUNCTIONS EXIST WITH THE 2002 VOLVO S60. THE FIRST ONE IS A FAULTY DRIVER'S INFORMATION MODULE DEFECT THAT CAUSES A TOTAL MALFUNCTION OF THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. SPECIFICALLY, THE DASHBOARD GOES COMPLETELY BLANK WHILE DRIVING AND ALL OF THE GAUGES BECOME INOPERABLE, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. THEREFORE, PREVENTING THE DRIVER FROM BEING ABLE TO CONTROL OR MONITOR THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THE SECOND MALFUNCTION IS THE FRONT AND REAR HEATED 02 OXYGEN SENSORS. THESE MANUFACTURE DEFECTS HAVE A POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION MODULE AND THE 02 SENSORS WERE MANDATORY COMPONENTS THAT WERE REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED AS OPPOSED TO REPAIRED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2009 VOLVO S60 AWD - WHEN FILLING WITH GASOLINE AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, GASOLINE OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS WITH THE LOCK MECHANISM ENGAGED ON THE GAS PUMP HANDLE. I HAVE OBSERVED THIS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THOSE GAS STATIONS. I HAVE TAKEN OTHER VEHICLES TO THE SAME STATIONS AND PUMPS AND FILLED THEIR TANKS IN THE SAME FASHION, AND THE LOCK MECHANISM ON THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGES AND NO GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND REACHES CAPACITY. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THIS VEHICLE ONCE PREVIOUSLY IN SEPTEMBER 2009 AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUE. I AM TIRED OF DEALING WITH IT AND WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE OCCURRING DUE TO THIS. THE GAS SPILLS OUT AND ON TO THE PAINT ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2008 VOLVO S60 2.5 CAR. THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT HAS TWO CLIPS IN THE FLOOR TO SECURE IT, BUT WILL NOT REMAIN IN PLACE. IT HAS COME LOOSE MULTIPLE TIMES AND SLIDES UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. I NOTICE IT ONLY WHEN I HAVE DIFFICULTY/AM UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF MY DEAL VOLVO OF CALABASAS IN LATE MARCH 2010. THEY STATED THAT THE CLIPS WERE PROPERLY INSTALLED. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT AGAIN CAME LOOSE AND AGAIN BECAME LODGED UNDER THE GAS PEDAL, PREVENTING IT FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. IF THE RETENTION CLIPS ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED, THEN I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DESIGN MAY BE DEFECTIVE. NO INJURY OR ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, BUT I WANT THE NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE. *TR
