CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE". DEALER INDICATED IT WAS A CRACKED INTERCOOLER HOSE AND THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. IT WAS REPLACE AND AFTER ABOUT TWO MONTHS THE SAME SYMPTOMS HAPPENED. IT WAS THEN DIAGNOSED AS A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS HAPPENED WITHIN TWO MONTHS AGAIN. THE CAR NOW DOES NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 10 MPH. THE NEXT DIAGNOSIS WAS TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT STALL OR DECELERATE FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH NO NOTICE. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO A RECALL FOR MODEL YEARS UP TO 2002. *TR

DRIVING HOME AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR (YEAH), I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, SO MY SPEED WAS DESCENDING AND THE CAR STALLED. I WROTE IT OFF AS MY FAULT BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 3 MONTHS LATER. WITHIN THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION APPROX. 6 TIMES. VOLVO STATED THE RECALLED PART FOR THIS ISSUE WAS REPLACED IN 2009. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND HAVE A APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR, AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED. MEANWHILE I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE LACK OF SAFETY. WISH I WOULD HAVE RESEARCHED THE CAR MODEL BEFORE PURCHASE. *TR
