Car Stall problems of the 2003 Volvo S60

Car experiences loss of power, stalling, sputtering and hesitation when gas pedal is pressed down. San luis obispo smith Volvo authorized dealer could not find any codes to explain this. Checked timing sensors, fuel pressure, rpm cam signals, eth system, air flow meter, map sensor. All checked out ok, dealer said all signs point to eta failing. Car stalls and loses power abruptly, I do not feel safe driving it anymore. There is a recall for models up to 2002, this 2003 S60 non turbo manual seems to exhibit the flaws of electronic throttle failure.

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.

I own a Volvo S60 and it has stalled three times in the last two weeks, I took it in to be looked at and they found nothing wrong with the engine to fix my problem.

I have a 2003 Volvo s 60 that has begun stalling out while driving. I believe that this is similar to other car problems that have been reported recently. The car dies after it has reached operating temperatures. It just stops on the interstate or at a stop light, in intersections, etc. It takes between 10 and 30 seconds before it can be restarted. My concern is that this could be an recurring unreported problem with this vehicle.

I own a 2003 Volvo S60, 4 dr sedan, purchased from don beyer Volvo in falls church, va, serviced at don beyer Volvo in dulles, va. The car has suddenly stalled in the middle of an intersection twice in the last 2 weeks but would re-start almost immediately. Last night, it stalled going 70 mph on a major highway with no warning whatsoever. I lost all power immediately and had to maneuver over lanes of traffic to pull over without power steering. Very dangerous situation. Towed to the dealership where they replaced the fuel pressure regulator and said they've had no other complaints of this sort. However, just tonight I saw a news report on channel 8 news in wash DC stating that Volvo is being investigated for claims of this exact type. Did not see any mention of the S60 model so thought I would report my incident to be included in the investigation.

Vehicle stalled while driving at any speed, dealer has inspected 3 times and could not duplicate or correct the problem. Please provide further information.

On 2 occasions, while driving, the vehicle suddenly stalled, the dealer replaced a sensor, however the problem recurred.
