| Car Stall problems | |
| Check Engine Light On problems |
The contact owns a 2008 Volvo S60. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. After restarting the engine the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle stalled a second time while the contact was sitting at a traffic stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the motor throttle was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 123,000.
On the fist incident I was talking my kids to school, dropped them off and when I started to accelerate I got low engine performance light and check engine light on, the car would only go 5 mph. The Volvo dealer fixed it no charge and it was ok for a while. Next incident my husband was driving and the car stalled and said the same thing reduced engine performance. For the next few weeks after that its been stalling rough idle, reduced engine performance. We took it to Volvo of el paso on airway blvd 915 410-3254 and they said the emt was bad and needed replaced for $1050. 00. I read about this being a continued issue and seems like it was never really fixed so there should be a recall and should not have to pay for something faulty, its dangerous.
