1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2011

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.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2007

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.
