Car Stall problems of the 1999 Volvo V70

The contact owns a 1999 Volvo V70. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the rpms decreased and the vehicle stalled. The contact mentioned that the check engine, ecm and the limp home mode warning messages illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle had surpassed the statute of limitations for repairs under NHTSA campaign id number: 06v441000 (vehicle speed control). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 156,000 and the current mileage was 158,000.

I bought this Volvo used w/ 120k miles. I saw records of major work done at the dealer just previous to 100,000 and figured it would be good for another 100k. At 131k, it began constantly stalling and lunging. I did a tiny bit of research and learned of the recall. I took it to the dealer and they tried to charge me 200 to do nothing other than read the codes and tell me the etm software had already been updated, and that the mass airflow sensor was bad. I replaced the mafs to no change.

I purchased this car, a 1999 Volvo v-70 station wagon, in 2002. The car intermittently and repeatedly stalls in traffic in addition to randomly accelerating and decelerating on its own so that driving is hazardous. Car has been serviced numerous times for these problems and most of the work has been on electronic throttle system. Problems may appear to be fixed for a short time but not really fixed because stalling and unexpected acceleration/deceleration begin again. Car has problem unique to it in that it fails to produce computer codes regarding stalling or etm failure, and because car fails intermittently, except for one mechanic, all others who have serviced the car have failed to experience the stalling and random acceleration/deceleration first hand. What to do with a car that reliably fails intermittently, fails to fail when the mechanic needs it to fail to be able to fix it and produces no computer codes as to why it is failing? on 7 April, 2006, I took car to Volvo of richardson, richardson TX to service the problem of the car stalling repeatedly in the previous few days. They upgraded the etm software but the car continued to stall and stutter in traffic. In fact, it seemed the stuttering and shuttering (near stalls) were worse. I had the car towed back to dealer and asked about the repairs under the extended warranty as per NHTSA action: ea05021. Service director for dealer refused to replace etm under extended warranty saying they would not be reimbursed if they couldn't reproduce the stalling etc. Likewise, at Volvo customer care (1-800- 458-1552), "bart" refused to authorize repairs covered under extended warranty of ea05021. The number of failures/incidents of car stalling and unexpectedly accelerating and decelerating are too numerous to count anymore. The car reliably stalls intermittently and repeatedly. Last incident of stalling was 14 April 2006 when the car stalled four times in traffic.

Surging, fouling spark plugs, hesitating, stalling, cuts off while driving and locks up.

My name is felipe stevenson and I currently own a 1999 Volvo V70. On August 1, I heard on the news that NHTSA was investigating a potential engine problem with Volvos. This was the same day I was taking my car to a local Volvo dealer for its 150,000 miles service and one of the problems I was planning to report was that the car stalls occasionally when I am driving or just looses speed. I have reported this problem in the past two years to at least three Volvo dealers in the new york/new jersey metropolitan area and I have been told in all occasions that the problem could not be replicated when conducting the service. The stalling problem began in 2003 and has happened 12 times to date. In one occasion I was driving at 50 miles an hour in a highway when this happen. My wife and my child were in the car then. We were all unharmed. When I took my car to the Volvo dealer on August 1, I got a call for the service person and I was told that the throttle of the car had an internal fault and needed to be replaced for almost $1,000. I was also told that this was the reason why my car was stalling or loosing speed. However, knowing that the car model is currently under investigation for a similar problem, I decided not to fix it until the outcome of the investigation is known. In my opinion, this problem exists with the Volvo models -- including mine - and encourage the NHTSA to pursue the investigation . Thank you.

Vehicle stalled/died, and lost power due to throttle body failure.

We have a 1999 V70 Volvo station wagon that about 1 year ago began losing power and/or stalling without warning while I was driving on the highway. It would re-start if I was able to gun it and get the car moving. Volvo replaced the throttle system and the issue seemed to be resolved. In may 2005, the engine again began to lose power as I decelerated while driving on the highway (e. G. When approaching a toll or in traffic) and then would completely stall once I exited the highway onto the local roads and was driving at a slower speed. It appeared to happen more frequently when I had a full tank of gas and/or the air conditioner was on. It would re-start fairly easily. The Volvo dealer where we purchased the car (summit, NJ) looked at the car in may and could find nothing wrong, as the computer did not register any failure; they returned the car to us as is. It continued to happen periodically and eventually would not re-start. On Monday, June 13 I had it towed to a local repair shop in jersey city who could find nothing wrong; they returned the car to us as is. On Friday, June 17, we then brought it to another Volvo dealer (montclair, NJ) where three mechanics looked at it over the course of one week and could find nothing wrong, again citing that the computer did not register any failures. It has happened a few more times, so now it is at another local repair shop (garwood, NJ) where the mechanic can find nothing wrong. I have not driven the car since mid-June as I have two small children and do not feel safe driving a car that can stall without warning in highway traffic and be slammed from behind.

1999 Volvo V70 developed a problem with the throttle body sensor resulting in the vehicle stalling. The consumer experienced numerous problems with the vehicle; replacement of defective gear shifter light socket and the driver side window switch, battery leads malfunction causing the battery to fail, the rear window washer pump burned out, and the driver door check strap had broken off.

Incidence 1 of 7 similar. As reported on service invoice: c/s car stalls out while driving, making a u-turn, start right up. Check car for codes, access, no codes on any system. No codes on fuel system, check fuel pump connector under rear panel, all ok. Per above, though service dept couldn't find anything wrong, this incident was the 1st of 7 similar problems occurring later that ultimately lead to having the throttle body cleaned twice & then replaced twice. I will be reporting all the other subsequent incidents in sequence of occurrence on this NHTSA complaint site as well.
