2004 VOLVO S60 Complaints

1. VEHICLE STALLED 2 TIMES, LAST YEAR AND ON 08/09/2010 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BOTH TIME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER 5 MINUTES AND DRIVE TO THE NEARBY THE VOLVO STORE DEALERSHIP. 2. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE. HOWEVER I SEE 2 RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS: 09V483000 AND 07V226000 WHICH MAY BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE VOLVO STORE DEALERSHIP (1051 W. WEBSTER AVE, WINTER PARK, FL 32789 - 407-628-0550) BUT THE DEALERSHIP WON'T LOOK AT IT BECAUSE THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT SHOWN UP FOR RECALL IN THEIR VOLVO DATABASE. 3. REPLACE THE BATTERY. *TR

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL, VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OVER THE SIDEWALK AND STRUCK THE BUILDING. TRANSMISSION POPPED IN REVERSE AND VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS. EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I FORCED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT TO STOP AFTER GOING IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND BUILDING (PICTURES AVAILABLE). NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 VOLVO S60R THAT HAS TURN SIGNAL ISSUES. THERE WAS NO EVENT LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. SIMPLY ONE DAY IT NO LONGER WORKED 100% OF THE TIME. WHEN USING THE TURN INDICATOR STOCK TO SIGNAL A LEFT TURN IT WILL NOT DO SO IF I FULLY DEPRESS IT INTO THE LOCK POSITION. IF I HOLD IT ONLY PART OF THE WAY BEFORE IT LOCKS INTO THE POSITION IT SOMETIMES WORKS. IF I DO PUT IT INTO THE FULLY LOCKED POSITION AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES IT MAY WORK AND SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT. THIS ONLY EFFECTS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND NOT THE RIGHT. I SAW THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE (HTTP://WWW.BUSINESSWEEK.COM/NEWS/2010-07-26/VOLVO-SUVS-EXAMINED-FOR-ELECTRONICS-FLAWS-U-S-SAYS.HTML) ABOUT THE 2004 - 2005 XC90 EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. OBVIOUSLY THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE DISASTROUS IF I CANNOT SIGNAL MY INTENTIONS ON LANE CHANGING AND OTHERS WOULD THEN COLLIDE INTO ME CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH TO EITHER ONE OR ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEFECTIVE PART IS STILL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
