2015 Volvo S60

MY S60 2015.5 ABRUPTLY CUT OFF WHEN AT A STANDSTILL "STATIONARY" IN TRAFFIC AND ON THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE WARNING SYSTEM SOUND CAME ON, AS IF CLOSE TO AN OBJECT, THEN THE SCREEN FLASHED ON THEN OFF ONE TIME. WITHIN MINUTES OF A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THE SCREEN DISPLAYED "TURN ON ENGINE." MY CAR HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. THIS HAD OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN 2019. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. THE ISSUE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPICATED AND NO FAULT CODE.

DRIVING VEHICLE AT NORMAL SPEED (45MPH) WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF ENTIRELY. VEHICLE FLASHED BRAKE CONTROLLER FAILURE AND WAS ABLE TO BE COASTED TO A STOP ON A SIDE STREET. POWER STEERING HAD FAILED AT THE TIME AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. VEHICLE HAD 46370 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND HAD ITS PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE AROUND 45000 MILES. AFTER REPLACING A BATTERY AND STARTER, IT BEGAN MAKING ROD KNOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, AND WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V849000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GUNTHER VOLVO CARS COCONUT CREEK LOCATED AT (4350 FL-7, COCONUT CREEK, FL 33073 954-590-3760) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

STARTED EXPERIENCING HIGH OIL USAGE WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS, ABOUT 1 QUART IN 500 MILES. IT SEEMS FROM RESEARCH AND SOME VOLVO SERVICE BULLETINS THIS IS REOCCURRING ISSUE. VOLVO WILL ONLY DOES SOME REPAIRS AS A GOOD WILL BASIS EVEN THROUGH THIS IS A SERIAL DEFECT. SERVICE THE 36K WAS BY THE DEALER AND ALL OTHER SERVICE PER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATIONS AND VEHICLE SCHEDULED SERVICE PROTOCOLS.

THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR ON THESE VEHICLES IS KNOWN BY MANUFACTURER TO FAIL. THIS FAILURE CAN CAUSE HARD START CONDITIONS, TAKING OVER 5 SECONDS AT TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. THE MAIN DANGER OF THIS COMES FROM THE FACT THIS IS A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AUTO STOP/START TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED NEAR MISSES DUE TO COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN TAKING OVER 5 SECONDS ON OCCASION FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. ON VEHICLES WITH WORN FUEL PUMPS THIS ISSUE COULD MANIFEST AS LOSS OF POWER UNDER HEAVY ENGINE LOAD, SUCH AS CLIMBING A HILL OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE FAILURE MODE IS OPEN CIRCUIT, MEANING AT SOME POINT PRIOR TO FAILURE THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF HIGH RESISTANCE WHICH ON A FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE HEAT AND FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PART WAS OFFERED FOR 8 YEARS 80,000 MILES. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE PART DUE TO ITS SAFETY RELATED CONSEQUENCES.
