| 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. | |||||||||||||||

| In early may, 2006, my car engine shut down by itself. this occurred three times. i was able to get the car into the dealership where they kept it for two days. the day after i picked it up(may 11th, the engine shut down while i was driving on the freeway. i narrowly missed hitting several cars while attempting to get to the side of the road. when the car cooled down, i was able to start it again and managed to get off the freeway. the engine shut down several times before i managed to get the car to the dealership. the factory inspected the car and held it ten days. the service man called me and stated the factory was aware of the problem and was replacing my transmission. i was able to pick up my car on may 22 and was told the problem had been corrected. since then, the engine has shut down on three occasions, each time on the freeway. i reported this to volvo customer service on may 26th. while driving home on the freeway yesterday afternoon, the engine shut down again and i narrowly averting a major accident. i was able to get the cat to the dealership where it is currently parked. my wife refuses to either drive the car or ride into it. we were lucky that we did not take the car to los angeles and could have been stranded in the desert or worse. i left the car with the dealer since my wife refuses to drive it for fear of a major accident. *nm | |||
