general problems of the 2005 Volvo S60

I own a 2005 Volvo S60. When driving today to work, with no warning, the vehicle stalled. I was unable to control the gas and the steering became rough. Hitting the accelartor did nothing. I was able to slow the vehicle to the side of the road. Once I turned it off and back on it restarted. If this had happened on a highway, it could have resulted in a major accident. Research shows that this is a common problem with Volvo. There was a recall for these incidents for under years 2003 -and 2004- 07v226000 . The recall for the s40 covered through 2006 - 08v033000. A search of the internet forum shows that this is happening for a lot of the 2005 models as well. Please consider including these model years as this is a danger.

Vehicle has stalled without any warning several times while traveling at highway speeds (60 mph). First incident occurred during the summer of 2011 at 105,000 miles. A second, similar incident occurred in the fall of 2011 at 108,000 miles. Auto scandia in herndon, va, replaced mass air flow meter in an attempt to address the problem. The vehicle performed well for several months without incident. Unfortunately it stalled again in March 2012. This was also without any warning while traveling at highway speeds (60 mph). The unusual highway breakdown was very dangerous.

Intermitant sudden loss of power at freeway speeds and in town . . Very dangerous !!! fuel pressure switch part no. 8699449 has failed. Volvo model S60 in years 2003, 2004 have been recalled for same problem. Volvo model s40 & v70 in year 2005 & 2006 have been recalled for same problem. The pressure switch with part number 8699449 is the real problem across all Volvo models and recalls should not be limited certain models only. All models with part number 8699449 fuel pressure switch should be recalled.
