While driving, computer screens all went black and engine shut down. If it had happened 1 mile prior, would have been going 50-55 on a curvy two lane road and would have resulted in serious injury or death. Towed to dealer awaiting results.

In August of this past year my engine shut down as my wife and I made a turn. The mechanic that I had it towed to said the engine was three quarts low and was getting no compression and yet no check oil indicator light turned on. I spent $6,000 on a used engine. Thursday of last week the same thing happened except I was driving straight. I again had it towed to my mechanic and it was confirmed that the engine is not getting any compression. I then called Volvo who informed me that there was nothing they could do for me since I hadn't taken the vehicle in to a dealer. I explained that I live over an hour away from the closest dealership and its not feasible for me to take my car in. I'm afraid to spend any more money on a used engine only to have it seize up on me with no warning. This is the second engine in less than six months. I looked on the internet and saw that Volvo had issued a recall for certain 2012 S60 in regards to this issue. I am not the original owner of this vehicle, so I am not sure if this vehicle was part of that recall or not. I have waited my whole life to own a Volvo. However, I can not in good conscious spend any additional money on a defective vehicle.

I was driving my 2006 Volvo S60 and the engine shut off without warning. The electrical system shut off and I was not even able to put the flashers on so that other drivers could know that there was a problem. I was able to pull the car to the side of the road (with difficulty since the power steering no longer worked) and put the car in park and restart it.

In July of 2009 during the washington state heat wave, where temperatures reached 104, my 2004 Volvo S60r experienced a engine shutdown on the freeway that was described in a recall (07v226000) for my model and year. My vehicles VIN was not part of the vehicles that were part of the recall however I think you should expand the range since my vehicle also had the fuel pressure sensor replaced to solve the issue. I still have the part if you want to examine it. I have read the consequences part of the recall (07v226000) and that is exactly what I experienced.

I-55 south shortly before weber road exit I was on the left lane traveling 30 mph, decided to change to middle lane, signaled and while in process of lane change, car started to go out of control. Then steered to the left, and was heading towards cement divider. To avoid that I steered right, at this point car started to do 360. Could not control and was moving to face oncoming semi truck from middle lane. The semi truck slammed into the right side (headlight/tire) area of my car Volvo S60 model year 2004 and stopped the car. Both airbags deployed - driver and passenger airbag. Only person in car was me. Prior to the crash I experienced and felt that the front control arms may not have been manufactured correctly and as a result the stud and nut that secured spindle may lose their initial axial tension. Under certain and particular driving conditions such as weather conditions remaining severe with heavy snow storm, steering might become less responsible and the driver may experience difficulty in controlling the steering. This driving condition could have been the approximate cause that lead to separation between control arm and the spindle which had ultimately resulted in a "total crash". I also tried to apply brake. Loss of brake fluid, as a result of failure of sealed cardone master cylinder with fluid leaking from brake had resulted in crash. I also observed cruise control sensor failure, after I turned it "on", then it shuts off by itself, again I have to turn on. While driving at rate 60 to 65 miles I observed a kind of noise and vibrations under hood. Possibly the fuel pressure sensor located of the fuel rail may transmit incorrect signal to the engine control module. I of the opinion that this might be one of the contributing factor responsible for stalling of engine without any warning and has caused a total crash on the freeway. Failure of the fuel pressure sensor might have cracked due to temperature changes and excessive vibrations and that caused crash.

Cars shut off on two separate occasions with out a moments notice within a two week period, once at a stop sign another time in stop and go traffic on a major highway. I have only owned this car for less than two months. There are no signals or codes listed on the car as to why it shut off. Car doesn't have problem restarting at all. Volvo dealer has listed this car as up to date with all recalls. Issue is yet to be resolved, due to mechanic's not experiencing the shut off point they are failing to diagnose the situation period. My safety is 1st, however my car may shut off at any point, so I do not feel safe in this car at all.

I have a 2001 Volvo S60 t5 and I've been noticing lately the idle on my rpm side going up and down rapidly and the car feels like its going to turn off. Then yesterday the same thing happened and the car shut down and I turned it back on and it begin trying to push itself so I got scared and parked it. Luckily it was by my home and then today I went to retrieve it and it begin doing the same thing. People have been complaining about this problem. I saw some media coverage about this problem due to the throttle body module. Please help and try to get this part recalled because someone can get seriously hurt or even god forbid pass away due to this problem. Thank you.
