2004 VOLVO XC90 Complaints

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED (ON THE HIGHWAY) THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THE DASHBOARD AND ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF, THE HAZARDS DO NOT SEEM TO WORK OR THE TURN INDICATORS, ABS DOES NOT WORK SO IT IS A VERY SLOW HEAVY STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS CAR ONE OTHER TIME IN 2010, AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE COMPUTER MODULE UPGRADE ISSUED.

WHILE DRIVING ANY DISTANCE OVER 60 MINUTES THE CAR WARNING COMES ON SAYING SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKES, STOP SAFELY. AIRBAG CHECK LIGHT COMES ON. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS ALL THE ELECTRONICS SHUTS DOWN; ALL DASH, STEREO, LIGHTS, WIPERS, WINDOWS AND LACK OF POWER TO ENGINE BUT CAR STAYS RUNNING. THIS WAS ALMOST A DEADLY CRASH WHILE DRIVING IN POURING RAIN AND THERE WERE CARS EVERYWHERE. NO WAY TO SIGNAL OR FLASHERS, I HONESTLY THOUGHT ME AND MY FAMILY WERE GONNA GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ OTHER STORIES ONLINE SO MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS? HOW DO I FIX IT BEFORE SOME GETS HURT OR EVEN WORSE KILLED! *TR

THERE IS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. THE SMELL GETS WORSE ON THE RIGHT HAND REAR PASSENGER SEAT WHEN PARKED. I TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A LEAK ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. I CALLED TO VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. THE LADY I TALKED TO WAS VERY NICE AND SEAMED KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IF THIS A PROBLEM WHY IS THERE NO RECALL IN ALL STATES IN USA. *TR

2004 VOLVO XC90 SUDDEN ENGINE STALL WITH LOSE OF HEADLIGHTS: I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT WITH THE CRUISE SET AT 75 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, AND THEN TURNED THE KEY BACK ON WITHOUT RESTARTING THE ENGINE. WITH ALL THE WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED, AND THE ENGINE AT A STALL I PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AND STOPPED. I THEN SHIFTED TO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, WHERE IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START. THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT STOP WORKING WHILE PULLING OVER, AND WHEN I STOPPED I SWITCHED THE LIGHTS OFF BEFORE I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE FIRST THING AT MIND WAS A FUEL PUMP THAT WAS STARTING TO ACT UP. AFTER RESTARTING I REVVED THE ENGINE UP A FEW QUICK TIMES (TO CLEAR THE ENGINES THROAT). I THEN GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE ACCELERATING TO 75 MPH , BUT DOING SO MANUALLY THIS TIME(NO CRUISE CONTROL). ABOUT 10 MIN HAD PASSED WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE STARTED LOSING POWER AS I WAS HAVING TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR HARDER TO MAINTAIN SPEED. WHILE STILL COASTING AT 65 MPH OR SO I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO THE START POSITION I LOST ALL THE LIGHTS, I QUICKLY RELEASED THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, AND THE LIGHTS REMAINED OFF. I QUICKLY PULLED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND USED THE FORCE TO AVOID THE GUARDRAIL AND THE DITCH. ALL THE WARNING LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED, AND THE ENGINE WAS AT A STALL. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AND THAT RESTORED THE HEADLIGHTS. IT TOOK 5-8 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE, AND AGAIN I'M THINKING FUEL PUMP ACTING UP. EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE IT WOULD SPIT AND SPUTTER LIKE IF THE FUEL PUMP WERE ONLY DELIVERING HALF THE PRESSURE NEEDED FOR THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER THE ENGINE RESTARTED I MADE IT HOME, AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT ARISEN SINCE,

CAR MOVED TO RIGHT WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. CAR CLUNKS WHEN MAKING TURNS. CAR VERY NOISY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS/ POTHOLES.

ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE A SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT WHEN I'M OUT SIDE THE CAR THE I CAN SMELL IT MORE

THE CAR IS LEAKING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOODS WITH WATER. NOW WHEN I BRAKE I CAN HEAR SO MUCH WATER MOVING BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE WATER DAMAGE ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR FLOOR IS DAMAGED SO BADLY. JUST WAITING ON ELECTRIC PROBLEMS TO ARISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES... SUNROOF DOES NOT OPEN SO SECURITY ALERT AS WELL. THE CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF OUR TOWNHOUSE 0

THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH STEERING THE DRIVER SHAFTS THE FUEL PUMP AIRBAGS AND WHEELS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THE GAS SMELL IS ALWAYS INSIDE THE CAR AND MECHANIC HAS SAID IT'S FROM THE FUEL PUMP DEFECT DURING MANUFACTURER. ALONG WITH THE OTHER FORE-MENTION DEFECTS .VOLVO DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS ISSUES BECAUSE AGE OF CAR. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE SUNROOF THAT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INSIDE THE CAR DURING RAIN FALL . THERE HAS BEEN A TOP CLASS ACTION PLACED AGAINST VOLVO FOR THIS . THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $700 TO $800 FOR THIS DEFECT AND $1200 TO $1500 FOR FUEL PUMP .
