2004 Volvo V70

WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR WE DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE IT STARTED SURGING FORWARD AND STALLING A LOT. MY FIANC AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, PARK THE CAR, HAVE TO TURN THE KEY THREE TIMES BEFORE STARTING. WOULD HAVE TO REPEAT PROCESS EVERY 5 MINUTES. SO WE TOOK IT TO PARAMOUNT VOLVO OF HICKORY, ENDED UP TAKING IT THERE FOR SERVICE. DROPPED IT OFF WITH A MAX FULL TANK OF GAS AS WELL, ALONG WITH PERSONAL ITEMS WE LEFT IN THE CAR. IT TAKES THEN ABOUT 4 OR 5 DAYS BEFORE CALLING US BACK WITH DIAGNOSTICS, SO WE END UP PAYING ALMOST 1,600$ TO GET THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED, NEW HOSES PUT ON, FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT, AND THE FUEL INJECTORS. WE PICK IT UP, AND OUR GAS IS ALMOST ON EMPTY....AND A FEW ITEMS WERE MISSING OUT OF OUR VEHICLE AS WELL. I KNOW THEY HAVE TO TEST DRIVE IT AFTER SERVICING THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMED LIKE THEY TOOK IT ON A JOY RIDE ALL OVER HICKORY. BUT WE DECIDED NOT TO MENTION THAT, AND TOOK IT AS A COMPLIMENT OF THEM "LIKING" THE CAR. AT LEAST WE HAD IT FIXED WE THOUGHT, THEN DROVE 45 MINUTES UP THE MOUNTAIN HOME. DROVE FOR ABOUT A DAY OR TWO UNTIL "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME BACK ON, SO WE CALLED VOLVO BACK. THAT TIME WE ENDED UP GETTING THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED ON A "RECALLED PART". AGAIN IT DRIVE FINE AFTER PICKING IT BACK UP 2ND TIME THEN STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN, BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY FIXED THE TIMING ON IT. PICKED IT UP, WEEK OR TWO LATER WE SET UP A NEW APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE CAR IS SURGING, RPMS WON'T GO OVER 2000, KICKS OUT AND IN GEAR, RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATES WHEN STOPPED. MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY AND IT STARTED SURGING, THE STEERING SEEMED ALOT LOOSER, THEN IT STARTED SHAKING AROUND A CURVE PRETTY BAD, GOT SCARED AND BRAKED, STEERING WOULDN'T TURN , KEPT GOING STRAIGHT, RAN INTO THE GRASS ,THANK GOD. WE COULD HAVE DIED. ALSO ATTACHING A PHOTO OF THE REST OF MY COMPLAINT SINCE IT WOULDN'T FIT.

I HAVE HAD TWO VOLVO V70 STATION WAGONS. BOTH OF THEM HAVE EXHIBITED THE FOLLOWING- WHEN FILLING AT CERTAIN GAS STATIONS (SUNOCO MOST RECENTLY) THE GAS PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY BEFORE FUEL COMES POURING OUT OF THE FILLER. I BELIEVE IT IS A FUEL FILLER PROBLEM IN THE CAR, NOT IN THE PUMP, BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR OTHER CARS. I BELIEVE IT IS EITHER AN ISSUE OF THE CAR'S FUEL FILLER TUBE SHAPE, OR DIMENSIONS. DANGEROUS! APPROX 1 FULL CUP OF GAS.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, VEHICLE MOTOR QUIT- DASH LIGHTS CAME ON-WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SHOULDER-WHERE VEHICLE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL THEN DIED AGAIN- SINCE VEHICLE HAS DIED VERY OFTEN AFTER DRIVING WITH ABSOULUTLY NO WARNING-VERY VERY DANGEROUS- WAS TOLD DRIVE BY WIRE PROBLEM- ELTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, ELECTRONIC FUEL REGULATOR, PEDAL AND OR THROTTLE SENSORS-ANY NUMBER OF ELECTRIC SENSOR PROBLEM--ALL OF THIS IS "DRIVE BY WIRE" UNSAFE DESIGN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO V70. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

MA 10/5 UPDATED 11/27/2017*CN

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A 90 DEGREE RIGHT TURN, WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE AND POWER STEERING WENT OFF AS I WAS TURNING. I HAD TO MANUALLY STEER THE CAR AND LUCKILY DID NOT CRASH BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND RECEIVED NO ERROR MESSAGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL VOLVO DEALER WHERE THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND DENY THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE.

DRIVING HOME FROM DETROIT TO INDIANAPOLIS ON HIGHWAY... CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN WENT OUT A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD... LATER CAME ON AGAIN... ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE... THEN SUDDEN POWER LOSS....ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED... COASTED TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES... RESTARTED ENGINE... ENGINE RAN WELL ENOUGH TO GET ME TO NEXT EXIT BEFORE LOSING POWER AGAIN... THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T RUN WELL ENOUGH TO DRIVE IT AFTER RESTARTING.... AFTER EXPENSIVE TRIP TO DEALER FOR REPAIR, FOUND OUT ISSUE WAS A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR THAT FAILED... THIS IS KIND OF LIKE HAVING YOUR CAR LOSE POWER AND STOP RUNNING BECAUSE YOUR COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED... ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHOULD NOT SHUT CAR OFF IN RESPONSE TO THIS FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR FAIL... THIS GAUGE IS USED TO OPTIMIZE FUEL CONSUMPTION... IT'S NOT A PRESSURE REGULATOR... UNEXPECTED AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS ON A HIGHWAY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS... ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHOULD NOT BE PROGRAMMED IN THIS WAY... *TR
