Car is Volvo S60 2004 trim 2. 4 4 door sedan fwd has 90317 miles on it. From last few weeks when I am driving vehicle it starts losing power and a warning come try slow down or shift up and my check engine light started blinking. This happened 4 times in last 1 week as the result I need to pull my car to safe place and restart that and then it runs better. This has really put me in danger to myself and other people on road. I am scare of driving the car in multiple lane roads in other lanes. I am now driving it on right lane only so that keep myself and other people safe for quick pull over if needed. Check engine gives me code p0171 and p0300. I went on line and followed advice and changed spark plugs, ignition coils and also oxygen sensor but no difference. Still car did same thing when I was driving with my family. I went on line and saw that many people have that issue with Volvo S60 of this year and model and struggling. I think this is some Volvo s 60 2004 model recall issue as it is creating accidental hazard to the owner of the car and the other traffic. Dr takyar.

2012 Volvo S60. Vehicle is at 64,114 miles. About a week ago, my check engine light came on and I noticed a high pitched whistle coming from the engine when driving. I took the car to the mechanic and he stated that a rubber diaphragm in the oil trap had ruptured causing the vehicle to go on full vacuum and in-take too much air and oil. In fact, it was taking in so much oil that the oil was nearly depleted. He stated that he has seen similar issues with Volvos in the past. Approximately 6 months ago, I took the vehicle into the dealer for an oil service. At that time, he stated that the engine's oil was almost depleted. I'm now beginning to suspect that the broken diaphragm is related to that issue as well. I've seen other complaints regarding depleted oil (and the lack of a driver notification due to a malfunctioning oil sensor). This could potentially be the root cause of the oil depletion in these other cases as well.

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.

Check engine light came on and car lost power while driving at highway speeds. It would not accelerate and displayed the message "reduced engine performance". Dealer indicated it was a cracked intercooler hose and that caused the issue. It was replace and after about two months the same symptoms happened. It was then diagnosed as a bad eletronic throttle body. That was replaced and the same symptoms happened within two months again. The car now does not accelerate more than 10 mph. The next diagnosis was to replace the complete engine wiring harness. The car is unsafe to drive because it stall or decelerate from highway speeds with no notice. It is very similar to a recall for model years up to 2002.

When turning a corner. I noticed the check engine light was on. The this happened a second time a week later, and then several additional times. I took the car to independent mechanic and he checked it out but couldn't diagnose the problem. He only speculated that it could be the pvc box, but that they were not sure it would fix the problem. The car had approximately 100k after this happened about eight times in the next 3 months, I took the car to Volvo dealer. They checked it out, and told me it may be the pvc box, but they were not sure this would fix the problem. I took it to another mechanic and who said it was the catalytyic converter. This problem has been ongoing for a year. I took the car to another mechanic and he changed the spark plugs and cabin filter. He told me to take the car to the Volvo dealership/service to have the computer reset. He said, because the car looses pressure and stalls when you make a quick turn. I called Volvo they said this would fix the problem. I took the car to Volvo to get an oil change. They told me the car stalled out on the mechanic 3 times and the check engiine light was on. They checked the car on the computer and told me the engine coils needed replacing. That was the problem. I paid for the engine coils to be replaced and some other work which totaled $1350. 00. I picked the car up on Friday, on Monday, while turning a corner the car stalled out, no power, no steering, just onboard lights. It happened again on Tuesday morning. I experienced this problem when the car was under recall. The dealership fixed it, but it seems as though this problem is occuring again. This is dangerous and Volvo should be responsible and fix these cars. There are some serious mechanical/engine problems with this vehicle.

I had a similar issue about two years ago and replaced the catalytic converter. Just today (9/25/10), my 2003 Volvo S60 began to irregularly stall while driving. While I'm slowing down, it downshifts by it self, and just dies, and while I'm slowing down, the warning indicators on the dash are not lit, as if nothing is wrong, but when come to a complete stop all the lights on the dash are lit. The check engine light then comes on, it wasn't on before this happened. This can be very dangerous when you are slowing down to turn at an intersection. The car stall, you have no power steering and you are dead in the middle of traffic. This happened no less than 10 time while I was driving today.

2004 Volvo S60 engine stalls without warning, error code of "fuel pressure sensor" indicated by check engine light/onboard diagnostics. Exact same problem is already part of NHTSA recall bulletin reference number(s): 07v226000 however, not all 2004 S60 VIN's are being covered. This is an extremely dangerous situation! sudden loss of engine power/stalling at highway speeds could easily result in a fatal accident for passengers and other motorists. Volvo needs to expand the recall/bulletin to include all 2004 Volvo S60 models!.

I own a Volvo S60 and am having problems (racing idle, uncontrollable cruise control, and complete dying of engine randomly) which are related to eventual failure of the etm which could be a catastrophic event, resulting in serious injury or death. Volvo has issued a limited recall but in order to be granted this fix one's vehicle must fail a certain test. If there is no failure, no fix. (the test is not a comprehensive meter of failure) a software upgrade is offered which is essentially an override , in which the system is set to ignore symptoms, so that the check engine light does not employ. This is not a fix. . The problem existing is that my car exhibits all the preliminary problems of the eventual failure of the etm which will result in a limp home mode ,whereas the car will only go approx 15mph, and is immediate, meaning that when this happens one hopes they are not on the freeway . . . . Well, one can use ones imagination. This is very disturbing. Still Volvo wishes to wait until the complete failure obviously, and I do not wish to gamble with my life in this way. The symptoms at this time are random, indicative of complete failure in the future. Volvo hesitates to take complete responsibility of this problem; but are aware of the defective engineering responsible for it. Even their fix for this problem is to replace with the same etm (electronic throttle module) which again, is only buying time until it fails also. But just try to get your module replaced ; not an easy thing to do, unless u want to pay for it outright, and that is wrong considering this is a Volvo problem, again, that they are aware of. I guess maybe death could be the great motivator.

I was driving on the freeway and without warning the engine lost power and the check engine light came on. I coasted off to the shoulder and the engine would only idle, and even that was rough. The message indicator on the dash said something like "reduced engine performance". I had the car towed to gengras Volvo in meriden. They replaced the etm , software and throttle body at the cost of $1195. 43. About two weeks later, I was driving on the freeway and the same thing happened. This time the dealership said the electrical connections to the etm must be bad and replaced same at no cost to me. Now about 10 days after that repair, the same thing happened to me on the freeway again. Since it is the weekend, I have to wait until Monday for the dealer to give me the diagnosis this time. Since the second failure of the part I have only driven in the right most lane of the highway so that when the car dies again I can get to the shoulder safely. It is a good thing I do this as the issue comes on suddenly and without any warning.

The contact owns a 2004 Volvo S60. The contact attempted a turn when the vehicle independently decelerated and stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer suggested that the fuel injectors and throttle body be cleaned, which was completed. The failure recurred within a few months with the illumination of the check engine light. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the vehicle was diagnosed indicating that the air pressure was inaccurate or there was a fuel leak. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure progressed. The contact inquired with the manufacturer in regards to NHTSA campaign id number: 07v226000 (engine and engine cooling) but was advised that her VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 79,245 and the current mileage was approximately 116,000.

At 53,000 miles (February 2006) my check engine light, service transmission light and urgent service warning lights came on at the same time. However, I was I not experiencing any noticeable drivability issues. (with the exception of some slightly rough gear shifting - but I didn't think much of it). The dealer told me that the fault code was related to my transmission and that I need a software upgrade to my tcm (transmission control module). If the fault code returned after the upgrade, my transmission would have to be replaced. And that most likely (99. 9%) the software upgrade would correct the problem. In addition, I had to pay $340 for the software upgrade because I was 6 months / 3,000 miles out of warranty and software issues where not covered by the extended warranty (3rd party - easycare -[via Ford]). A few weeks later (3/5/06), the check engine comes on again and the drivability deteriorates rapidly on my trip home from work. High rpm's - little power - abrupt shifting. Fortunately, I was close to home (within 1 mile). It felt like the transmission fell apart. I brought it to the dealer (3/8/06), after two days of 'testing', I'm told the etm was replaced at no charge and to come pick up the car. I picked it up and could not leave the dealer driveway. They apologized profusely and said the etm was replaced but noticed that there is still a problem. After a few days of troubleshooting by the dealer, I was informed that the car needed a new transmission (and I had to pay an additional $200 for extended warranty CO-pay).

Car would suddenly lose power, causing unsafe situations in traffic. Warning light would come on along with check engine light and message saying "reduced performance". Failure was intermittent at first and instrument lights would go back to normal.

2004 Volvo S60 regularly serviced by Volvo. Bought new, well maintained, exc cond, & oil changed ever 3000 miles. Only 68k miles presently but many problems since bought new. #1) replacing burned out rear/front headlight bulbs constantly. #2) check engine light came on before 40k miles. Wasn't too concerned at first because only issue I seemed to have was hesitation somewhat when accelerating after being parked. Until one day veh wouldn't accelerate beyond a roll after being stopped for red light. A few days later driving approx 50 mph uphill car stopped accelerating and stalled. Both times I was able to roll to side of road, restart & make it home. Scared me enough though to take to Volvo next day. Fuel sensor gauge needed to be replaced. When I checked if covered under recall - found my car wasn't based on VIN, another fairly costly repair. #3 - ac fan wouldn't go off one day - fan running full blast & control switch wouldn't regulate or work. Fan continued to run even when I turned off ignition. Dead battery next morning needed jump start. Ac fan modular bad - modular repair done & then fan somehow burned out due to new modular when mechanic testing repair - now fan needed to be replaced. Very costly repair once again. #3 - check engine light came on. After months to several mechanics, checking oil, etc. Told light probably just faulty. Then check oil light blinks - car had less than 1/2 qt oil & I had major engine damage. Had complete engine rebuilt & very expensive. Engine running great. Now 2 mos later & I hear a metal to metal noise/sound when making turns - preferably right hand - & coming from rght front side of car. Mechanic can't see safety issues when up on rack. Has no clue. Noise annoying and concerning. It sounds like wheel is going to fall off car. I am sure it will cost another fortune . However once repaired - trading in. I loved my car. . . However no longer feel veh is safe or depen.
