| Defect Summary | On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel pressure sensor located on the left end of the fuel rail may, at times, transmit incorrect signal regarding the fuel pressure to the engine control module. if the signal is outside of the pre-programmed allowable limits, a diagnostic trouble code may be set and the check engine light will come on. the soldered joints on the circuit board of the fuel pressure sensor may crack due to temperature changes and excessive vibrations. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Misfire may occur during driving that, in turn, will reduce the engine torque and in the worst case scenario, the engine may stall without warning. in certain traffic situations this could cause an unsafe situation and possibly a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensor free of charge. the recall began on june 29, 2007. owners may contact volvo at 1-800-458-1552. | |||||||||||||||

| When turning a corner, the engine stopped, steering stopped working and lights on dashboard come on. this happened a second time two days later. took to independent mechanic and he checked all work he had done in the past plus checked the whole car out and he could not find why the car stopped. two days later the car again stalled out when in traffic - engine stopped, steering stopped working and lights on dashboard came on. last two times this happened i was driving on a straight road. this has happened 5 times now in the last week. all times engine stopped working, i was driving between 10 and 40 miles per hour. after researching this problem, i found out that my vehicle had been recalled and at 53,333 miles the fuel pressure sensor was replaced by the dealer. now 42,000 miles later it appears that it is once again the fuel pressure sensor. this is very dangerous especially since i do a lot of highway driving and also live in an area where children have been know to run out into the street. not only is there a possibility of a car accident, but also the possibility of a child being hit if i cannot turn the car quickly to avoid the child. at this point i am afraid to drive the car and fell very unsafe even though volvos are know for their safety. after reading numerous reports of many people having this problem with their 2004 s60 volvos it makes me wonder why volvo is not correcting this problem on all 2004 volvo s60s that are having this same problem. my mechanic is checking on this problem and will replace next week if this is the real issue. sometimes doors lock for no reason at all. also i have had to replace the rear lights on this vehicle several times. seems much more than normal. | |||

| Certified previously owned vehicle stalled due to butterfly valve within throttle body not opening fast enough when going around a corner and too much load on the engine. example: exited freeway and was turning left while braking due to upcoming red light. the engine stalled in the middle of an intersection while the vehicle was in motion at approximately 10 mph. lost steering and braking power. the problem was first noticed when making right turns and having to suddenly brake for a pedestrian, bicyclist, or other traffic hazard and the engine stalling or fluttering at much lower speeds. as it worsened over the course of a week it was ultimately the worst with the mid-intersection stall. at this point we were afraid to drive the vehicle for fear of crashing. vehicle was purchased from a dealer as certified pre-owned 68,735 miles on 05/02/2008 and was taken to dealer for stalling at 76,678 miles on 08/15/2009. dealer reported this as a maintenance issue not covered under warranty. repairs for cleaning the throttle body, resetting valve, and installing new gaskets was $402.93. vehicle originally purchased in southern california. vehicle moved to washington in february of 2009. *tr | |||

| I-55 south shortly before weber road exit i was on the left lane traveling 30 mph, decided to change to middle lane, signaled and while in process of lane change, car started to go out of control. then steered to the left, and was heading towards cement divider. to avoid that i steered right, at this point car started to do 360. could not control and was moving to face oncoming semi truck from middle lane. the semi truck slammed into the right side (headlight/tire) area of my car volvo s60 model year 2004 and stopped the car. both airbags deployed - driver and passenger airbag. only person in car was me. prior to the crash i experienced and felt that the front control arms may not have been manufactured correctly and as a result the stud and nut that secured spindle may lose their initial axial tension. under certain and particular driving conditions such as weather conditions remaining severe with heavy snow storm, steering might become less responsible and the driver may experience difficulty in controlling the steering. this driving condition could have been the approximate cause that lead to separation between control arm and the spindle which had ultimately resulted in a total crash. i also tried to apply brake. loss of brake fluid, as a result of failure of sealed cardone master cylinder with fluid leaking from brake had resulted in crash. i also observed cruise control sensor failure, after i turned it on, then it shuts off by itself, again i have to turn on. while driving at rate 60 to 65 miles i observed a kind of noise and vibrations under hood. possibly the fuel pressure sensor located of the fuel rail may transmit incorrect signal to the engine control module. i of the opinion that this might be one of the contributing factor responsible for stalling of engine without any warning and has caused a total crash on the freeway. failure of the fuel pressure sensor might have cracked due to temperature changes and excessive vibrations and that caused crash. *tr | |||

| 2004 volvo s60 engine stalls without warning, error code of fuel pressure sensor indicated by check engine light/onboard diagnostics. exact same problem is already part of nhtsa recall bulletin reference number(s): 07v226000 however, not all 2004 s60 vin's are being covered. this is an extremely dangerous situation! sudden loss of engine power/stalling at highway speeds could easily result in a fatal accident for passengers and other motorists. volvo needs to expand the recall/bulletin to include all 2004 volvo s60 models! *tr | |||

| 2004 volvo s60 2.5 turbo: no warning to the events. on numerous occasions, the car feels as if it has hit a large object, temporarily lurches and appears to momentarily stall creating a temporary loss of vehicle control. this is followed by an immediate loss of all instrument gauges, air conditioner, window controls and door locks. the fan did continue to work. the abs warning light also indicated as well as a warning that no brakes function existed. the srs service air bag urgent indication is illuminated. on turning the car off and restarting, the functions of the car return with exception that the srs service air bag urgent indication remains. this problem can take months to repeat or only a matter of minutes. it seems to be more prevalent in hot weather. the vehicle was taken to the service shop at the volvo dealer and they could only clear alarms as they said the event created too many alarms/fault codes to troubleshoot. they downloaded new software revisions to each control module in the car. after a period of approximately a month, the events began occurring again. the vehicle has been taken to non oem mechanics as well and they are not able to troubleshoot the fault. the vehicle is scheduled to be taken to the dealers service shop again. searching the internet chat rooms and blogs, as well as this site, there appears to be numerous other vehicles with this same safety fault that stalls vehicles in traffic and creates very sudden and severe lurches in power ultimately leading to a momentary stall out with loss of all instrument indications to include speed, rpm, turn indicator, etc. *tr | |||

| I was leaving ucla parking garage (i'm an rn there) when i put my volvo 2004 s60 into gear and it took off backwards like a rocket, car was thrown into a concrete post far away from where i began. i immediately put car in park since i thought i'd get out and see what on earth happened, but it then lunged forward by itself and took off without stopping!!! thank god it was 6pm and not an hour earlier when many staff would have been in garage, i'd have run them over! i also turned off ignition with key, nothing helped!! it kept going along with a mind of its own at approx 15 mph making a growling whirring sound. i was able to steer car and avoid other vehicles but eventually had to make serious decision to purposely crash into another concrete massive post which i did and the possessed beast. finally came to a halt with fluid pouring out all over,. my brakes did not work during this event, not at all, that's why i couldn't stop the car (along with foot on brake, tried putting car in park gear and turned off ignition key last august when i had only 22, 000 miles on car it took it to volvo dealer twice, since car was often stalling and stopping on the street while i was driving. i was told they couldn't find it stalling when they test drove it but they mentioned they cleaned the throttle and said that could help (which it did until 2, 500 miles later when this happened. i have dealer paperwork indicating car stalling and that they cleaned throttle box also, they said i should be taking car on the freeway more at high enough speed to blow off the carbon i spent friday night in er with neck/shoulder injuries, but this could have been a disaster. forgot to mention that when i took car in for service july 2007 dealer replaced fuel pressure sensor as per recall. don't know if this is significant. also wrote on form during inspection found upper engine mount collapsed, cause........ engine repair. updated 03-25-08 *bf the dealer stated rear brake pads had to be replaced. updated 03/25/08 *tr | |||

| Cars shut off on two separate occasions with out a moments notice within a two week period, once at a stop sign another time in stop and go traffic on a major highway. i have only owned this car for less than two months. there are no signals or codes listed on the car as to why it shut off. car doesn't have problem restarting at all. volvo dealer has listed this car as up to date with all recalls. issue is yet to be resolved, due to mechanic's not experiencing the shut off point they are failing to diagnose the situation period. my safety is 1st, however my car may shut off at any point, so i do not feel safe in this car at all. *tr | |||

| I have a 2004 volvo s60. in the past one year it keeps stalling both in motion and when going into drive from park. this creates a dangerous situation while operating the vehicle, especially when in motion at highway speeds. i have taken the vehicle to volvo authorized service twice with no resolution. the last stall was on august 30, 2007 resulting in the car being towed to volvo service. a recall was issued on 2004 s40 due to a similar complaint, but i was told that the recall did not apply since the vehicle was an all wheel drive. *tr | |||

| I have a 2004 volvo s60 with 57,700 miles. all work on the vehicle has been done by volvo. recently, when the ac is on, the fan speed has stopped responding to adjustments. nothing happens when i try to adjust the speed and then, on its own, the speed will change a few minutes later. when i turn the car off, the fan continues to run for at least five minutes. i'm afraid that one day it won't turn off and will drain the battery. the volvo rep and an independent mechanic feel that the repair may be costly and just to do the diagnostic is expensive, so i haven't had it done while i decide whether to just trade in the vehicle. *tr | |||

| 2004 volvo s60 regularly serviced by volvo. bought new, well maintained, exc cond, & oil changed ever 3000 miles. only 68k miles presently but many problems since bought new. #1) replacing burned out rear/front headlight bulbs constantly. #2) check engine light came on before 40k miles. wasn't too concerned at first because only issue i seemed to have was hesitation somewhat when accelerating after being parked. until one day veh wouldn't accelerate beyond a roll after being stopped for red light. a few days later driving approx 50 mph uphill car stopped accelerating and stalled. both times i was able to roll to side of road, restart & make it home. scared me enough though to take to volvo next day. fuel sensor gauge needed to be replaced. when i checked if covered under recall - found my car wasn't based on vin, another fairly costly repair. #3 - ac fan wouldn't go off one day - fan running full blast & control switch wouldn't regulate or work. fan continued to run even when i turned off ignition. dead battery next morning needed jump start. ac fan modular bad - modular repair done & then fan somehow burned out due to new modular when mechanic testing repair - now fan needed to be replaced. very costly repair once again. #3 - check engine light came on. after months to several mechanics, checking oil, etc. told light probably just faulty. then check oil light blinks - car had less than 1/2 qt oil & i had major engine damage. had complete engine rebuilt & very expensive. engine running great. now 2 mos later & i hear a metal to metal noise/sound when making turns - preferably right hand - & coming from rght front side of car. mechanic can't see safety issues when up on rack. has no clue. noise annoying and concerning. it sounds like wheel is going to fall off car. i am sure it will cost another fortune . however once repaired - trading in. i loved my car...however no longer feel veh is safe or depen. *tr | |||
