I have a 2005 Volvo S60r which has a vehicle immobilizer in which if it there is not a 2 way communication between the car and the key, it prevents the car from starting. Nice feature, but I called 3 dealerships when I got this warning and there is no workaround. So if I have an emergency, of if I am in a bad part of town, I cannot use my car. . . This is a major safety flaw. . .
The contact owns a 2005 Volvo S60. While attempting to make a right turn at 25 mph, the vehicle would sporadically stall without warning. The vehicle was able to restart immediately. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. Two weeks later, while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle completely lost power. The failure prevented the contact from safely maneuvering to the side of the road and she could not activate the hazard warning lights. The following day, she took her vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that her VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 06v441000 (vehicle speed control). The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 12,000.
