Engine Cooling System Problems of Volvo S80

Takata recall" frist I called Volvo to inquire about recalls referening to the cooling system and the fuel pump the first lady I spoke with informed me this problem was under recalls and to take my car to get it serviced at the nearest dealer after taking my car to the dealer at 7:15am 4hours later after I called them first they now are saying that there isn't anything they can do with my car and they do not know who told me that false information. On top of all of this my car accelerates by itself lucky when it happens I hurry and push the brakes and the car dosent start up once turning the key even the guy say that's always been a problem. Based on how expensive this car is it seem there wouldn't be many problems with it or it seem that they would at least try todo something about the false information over all I will never buy another Volvo again!.

I am having an issue with my brake warning light/engine light. I have not had the car a month. The warning message says brake failure stop immediately. I took back to dealership and they said that I had no fluid. But it is still happening. I noticed the recall on the 2000 Volvo s-80. Not sure if is the same thing, but if it is should the Volvo dealership fix for free. The recall was sent out March of 07.

Paperwork was completed, I was on my way out, the salesman said, "make sure you put some oil in the engine, it has no oil, we didn't have a chance to inspect the car. " he went on to say, "bring it in sometime next week and we'll inspect it. "car was brought in following week, they had no time to inspect it. It went on for three weeks. The engine temperature would rise very quickly, I pulled over and turned off the car. This happened five times. It was brought to a separate car repair shop and they concluded that the cars ecm (electronic computer module) isn't working correctly. None of the gauges are correct, including the gas and engine temperature gauge. They said that the engine could be overheating and it wouldn't show up on the computer, or it might not be overheating and it might show up as overheating. Then the dealer did their inspection and said that the car was "fine. " I asked for diagnostic results and they said that they have no way of printing their diagnostic results. Later, the car started saying "high engine temp" again. I arrived at the dealership and told them the problem. One of the sales men took the car on a test drive. On the freeway, the car was doing just fine. Once the car was going about 35mph it started signaling overheating. Back at the dealership the salesman left the car running while the car was stating in the dash "high engine temp. " they proceeded to let the car run. The salesman shut off the vehicle, opened the hood and smoke was rising out of everywhere and all the coolant pipes blew and coolant was leaking everywhere. I was in shock. They basically blew up my car. I walked inside and the salesman commented to me, "I did that so he [the dealer] would give you another car. "the dealer refused to take the car back. They stated that the only thing that needed to be fixed was a "fan control" because the fan wasn't working properly.

While driving the vehicle goes into "limp" mode and a error message saying "safely pull over and restart vehicle" goes on. The vehicle wouldn't exceed 5 mph with traffic behind me. It is a potentially dangerous situation, which has happened several times. But I've finally brought the car to the dealership and apparently the electronic throttle body module, and the anti-lock brake module both have to be replaced. Then after checking several forums this seems to be an epidemic for the Volvo S80.
