On 12 Dec, 2008, my 2003 Volvo S60 stalled with no warning while traveling on a busy highway at 60 mph. I pulled to safety (vehicle was in "limp home" mode) and had the vehicle towed to the dealership (park place Volvo). Since the vehicle started right back up and presented no codes, I was told there was nothing wrong and given a bill for $418 (for tow and diagnostic check). Approx. 1 month later, vehicle presented same problem; it stalled, without warning, while driving. . . Creating a great safety risk for the second time. I had vehicle towed again to same dealership, and since vehicle started right back up with no codes, I was told there was nothing wrong. Dealership could not get vehicle to duplicate problem on either occasion. However, to appease me, dealership did replace accelerator pedal. . . Vehicle still presents same stalling issue, and intermittently goes into "limp home" mode for no apparent reason. This will undoubtedly cause a serious accident, as it is obvious, from the numerous complaints on this issue, that this is a mass defect.
The consumer states that 2003 Volvo S60 has an inability to stop in reverse . The brakes failed and the car accelerated in reverse. This occurred after the car started and sputtered. The consumer took the car to the dealer, and they said it was a software problem, the software was updated. But the car was still doing this. The consumer has not called the manufacturer. The software was the only thing mentioned as being the problem with the car. The car has been doing this for about 2 years. Lately, the car has been doing this more frequently.
