THIS VEHICLE HAS A LEAK AT A SEAM OF THE GAS TANK. CHEN ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH OBO 11 CODE P0455 EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK DETECTED LARGE LEAK NO FLOW. A CERTIFIED VOLVO REPAIR FACILITY HAS VERIFIED CRACK AT SEAM FROM GAS TANK. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE IGNITION KEY WHEN INSERTED WILL NOT TURN TO UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN. THE STEERING COLUMN REMAINS LOCKED UNTIL IT FOR SOME REASON UNEXPLAINED RELEASES SO YOU CAN START THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT HAS A FAULTY IGNITION MODULE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY 2004 VOLVO XC90 WITH A 2.5T ENGINE, 7 PASS, INTERMITTENTLY AND INADVERTENTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OFF, INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC, SEVERAL WARNING MESSAGES APPEARS, SUCH ABS, AIR BAGS FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE, ETC. IT WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AND BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PUSH, THE ENGINE DOES NOT STOP. I HAVE TO STOP, TURN IT OFF, WAIT FEW MINUTES, THEN START IT, EVERYTHING COMES TO NORMAL AGAIN BUT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE AIR BAGS MESSAGE, THEN AFTER SOME MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SAME STALLING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE ON FREEWAY AND YOU LOOSE BRAKES AND ENGINE CONTROL, NO INFORMATION IN INSTRUMENT PANEL, ETC. I FOUND THAT THE RELAYS IN THE CEM (CONTROL ELECTRONICS MODULE) ARE SUPER HOT POSSIBLY DUE TO LOOSE CONNECTIONS, IN THE VIDEO BELOW YOU WILL SEE THE PROBLEMS AND INFRARED PICTURES OF THE CEM. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE SEE MY YOUTUBE VIDEO AND OTHER VIDEOS WITH THE SAME ISSUE SEARCH FOR XC90 ISSUES, XC90 STALLING, XC90 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC.

FIRST TIME, WAS IN A DRIVE THROUGH & JUST TOOK OFF, HOPPED THE CURB, AND HIT TALK BOX. NEXT 2 TIMES WERE STOPPED QUICKLY BY ME PUTTING IN NEUTRAL. LAST TIME WAS JUST LEAVING PARKING SPACE, AND CAR JUMPED CURB AND I STOPPED 4 FT. FROM BRICK WALL. HAVE HAD IT TESTED 2-3 TIMES BY MECHANICS W/O SUCCESS. *TR

TWICE NOW OVER A TEN DAY PERIOD FIRST WHEN REDUCING SPEED TO A STOP OR THEN AGAIN AT A SPEED OF LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE CAR DIED...FIRST THE ENGINE DIED THEN ALL ELSE DIED. THE CAR WENT DEAD. I STILL HAD MY STEERING AND SLOWLY ROLLED TO THE CURBED THEN AS I GENTLY PUT ON THE BRAKES THE CAR JERKED TO A HALT. DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT THE CAR STILL JERKED AFTER I HAD STOPPED. A LOUD SOUND OF A FAN FROM THE ENGINE COULD BE HEARD. THE FAN STOPPED AFTER 10 TO 15 SECONDS. AFTER A MINUTE I RESTARTED THE CAR AND MADE IT HOME BOTH TIMES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SUDDENLY THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS APPEARED: THE DASH COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, ALL INSTRUMENTS ZEROED OUT, THE AUTO A/C SHUT OFF, MY WINDOWS AND LOCKS STOPPED WORKING THE RADIO TURNED OFF. SRS FAILURE, POWER FAILURE - URGENT, BRAKE FAILURE . . . USE CAUTION STOPPING, WARNINGS APPEARED IN MY MESSAGES MENU SCREEN. THE POWER WAS FLICKERING ON AND OFF, ON AND OFF, UNTIL IT JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THANKFULLY I WAS SO CLOSE TO MY MECHANIC, THAT I JUST ROLLED DOWN THE HILL INTO THEIR DRIVEWAY. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. I HAD MY LITTLE GIRL IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY UNABLE TO STOP. *TR

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL BEZEL, A SHARP EDGE IS EXPOSED. THIS EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND HAS CAUSED LACERATIONS. I SEE NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10503380 AND 10534272 APPEAR TO DESCRIBE THE SAME PROBLEM. (INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE). *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN HESITANT, SPUTTERING AND SURGING WHEN STOPPED OR INCREASING SPEED. WHEN STOPPED THE VEHICLE SURGES AND MOVES. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, AS WE CAN HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THE ETM HAS BEEN CLEANED BY COLLINS AUTO IN SC. THEY TOLD US THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THERE IS BUILD UP IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THIS IS DUE TO THE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL (7500 MILES) WHICH IS RECOMMENDED BY VOLVO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A PART DEFECT WHICH VOLVO SHOULD FIX AND REPLACE AT THEIR COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE REPAIRS PERFORMED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V483000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN REFUSED TO PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIRS DUE TO THE LATCH ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BEING FRACTURED.
