| The vehicle exhibited stalling and misfires the first time at 65 mph. the check engine light (cel) came on and the diagnostic indication was that fuel pressure sensor needed replaced. it continued with stall and misfire at intermittent times with the cel staying on and off intermittently. i bought a fuel pressure sensor and replaced the original, which has remedied the problem. when i replaced the fuel pressure sensor, i examined the original part and noted that it had a part number of 8699448 instead of 31272733 like the replacement part. putting in fuel pressure sensor 8699448 on the internet, i quickly found volvo recall 181 which covers this part for volvo 2003 - 2004 s60/v70 cars (48,000 plus). my motor is a slight variant of the motors used and not included. it is obvious that the major part of consideration is the fuel pressure sensor 8699448 but volvo did not see their way to include all motors using this part and the danger is no different for the s40 than the s60/v70. the internet shows many other examples of this failure within 2005 s40s. this is probably the tip of the iceberg with many more to follow and possible potential dangerous accidents impending. all information i relayed in this complaint has been told to my local volvo dealer and volvo customer service (national). | |||

| A 2005 volvo s40 t5 model has repeating fuel line leakage. the car was serviced to replace the original polyamide fuel line to a teflon fuel line in line with recall r158. after four years the teflon fuel line was become worn and fuel has begun to flow from the line. the average fuel line life is well beyond four years. there is an underlying issue with the fuel line with the 2005 volvo s40 t5. | |||

| Purchased a volvo overseas in 2005 and it recently broke down last week in the middle of an intersection. i had it towed to the volvo dealer in fort walton beach and they told me my part was faulty and will have it running by the next day. i called my warranty company and they told me that part had been recalled and volvo should pay for it but they denied there was a recall and called it an extended warranty. my warranty company american guardian sent a 3rp party mechanic to volvo and verified it was corroded. the recall is all over the webs/including yours nhtsa campaign id #08v033000 so i called volvo and they say there is no recall. the part and labor was $800.00. my vin wasn't loaded in the us system until this week. currently the volvo dealer replace the part and moved it to a different location and says it can't cover it unless volvo put that specific vin number and load it against it (extended warranty) but how if there is no recall. neither volvo or the warranty company will pay for the part. if its an official recall and it happened just like the description on the recall states they should be obligated to cover it. its only got 53000 miles on it which is 3000 over the manufacture warranty. i feel volvo needs to add my vin to the list because obviously its a problem to mine also. i have refused to pick up the car the last week until i heard back form volvo but they said there is nothing they can do and i have to pay for it. *tr | |||
