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. *TT
