UPDATED 05/26/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE MADE A TURN, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. THE VEHICLE WENT FORM SIDE TO SIDE AS SHE TRIED VERY HARD TO BRAKE AND STEER AWAY FROM THE INCLINE ON THE RIGHT.

2004 VOLVO S60 STALLED SUDDENLY WHEN TURNING. IT HAS STALLED WHEN PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED AROUND WITH 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, STEERING, AND BRAKING. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL FPS FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AS MY CAR, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN# IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 VOLVO S60. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY. I WENT TO PUT MY S60 IN PARK, AND IT WOULD NOT GO PAST NEUTRAL INTO EITHER REVERSE OR PARK. MY S60 HAS A GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION (GEARTRONIC IS ESSENTIALLY THE BRAND NAME OF THE VOLVO MANUMATIC TRANSMISSION. SOURCE: HTTP://WWW.EHOW.COM/INFO_7784643_GEARTRONIC-TRANSMISSION.HTML#IXZZ1K1HJ4JPR) THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IF I NEEDED TO GO INTO REVERSE I COULDN'T, AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK AND THEREFORE COULD NOT REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO NOTICEABLE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE OF THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT KNOB, BUT IT IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE, AND MAY RESULT IN A RECALL IF THIS FAILURE OCCURS IN MORE VOLVOS WITH THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GATHER FROM VOLVO DEALERS AND OTHER REPUTABLE VOLVO SERVICE BUSINESSES CAN POTENTIALLY GATHER ENOUGH ISSUES WITH THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT KNOB TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE, IF IT HAS OCCURRED OR DOES OCCUR IN OTHER VOLVOS WITH THE GEARTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND GEAR SHIFT KNOB, MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF CERTAIN GEARS, AND MAY RESULT IN THE CARS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE PUT INTO PARK. THIS COULD RESULT IN SAID VEHICLES ROLLING AFTER TURNED OFF. ALSO, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF SAID VEHICLES IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK. *TR

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME WITH MY 2004 T2.5 S60 VOLVO. I CALLED VOLVO AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS YET I SEE THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER, IT HAS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. MY HAPPENS WHEN THE WEATHER GETS HOT HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I HAD NO PROBLEMS THIS WINTER, BUT YESTERDAY IT WAS IN THE MID TO HIGH 80?S AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN! 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(SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK, BUT IF I REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLE AND LET IT SET FOR A BIT AND PUT IT BACK ON THE CAR WILL START), 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. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES AND THEY TOO MANY CODES, RESET IT AND IT COMES BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. *TR

BURNING PASSENGER SEAT IN 2004 VOLVO S60R. WHILE DRIVING I SMELT A HORRIBLE BURNING SMELL AND SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT WHICH EVENTUALLY STARTED A FIRE. I TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEATS AND NOW HAVE A BURN ABOUT AN INCH IN DIAMETER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AT ALL! GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT! *TR
