Our 2004 Volvo V70 engine cut off while driving on highway 68 in high point. At the time, we were traveling at approximately 45 miles per hour. Luckily there was a side road nearby so we were able to coast, stop, and restart the car safely. Since that day, the check engine light has been coming on and then going off and the engine has shut down while driving on several other occassions. We took the car to crown Volvo in greensboro, nc and they claimed there were not any recalls on our 2004 Volvo V70 and performed a $65 diagonstic service and determined that our fuel pressure sensor had failed and need to be replaced at a cost of over $400. We pulled recall information for our car off motortrend's sited (see below) and forwarded this to the dealership. The dealership called Volvo's customer support team and they said our car was outside the warranty period and had no recall for this issue. We countered that recalls are not warranty claims and fall outside that window. Our car has experienced the same issue listed in recall listed below and the repair and diagnostic test should be honored by Volvo!! recall date Jun 05, 2007 consequences: misfire may occur during driving that, in turn, will reduce the engine torque and in the worst case scenario, the engine may stall without warning. In certain traffic situations this could cause an unsafe situation and possibly a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensor free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2007. Owners may contact Volvo at 1-800-458-1552.

The check engine light on our 2004 Volvo V70 wagon came on while driving down the highway. The vehicle then made noticeable hesitations but the vehicle continued to be drivable. After getting to atlanta and taking the car to a Volvo dealership, the fault code said the problem was with the fuel sensor. Interestingly there was a recall on the 2004 Volvo V70 recall #07v226000 for the exact same problem. I called Volvo and they say it is not covered as the problem was only for VIN's 286155 - 404037. Volvo declined to cover the problem. The recall clearly states that the fuel sensor problem can cause the vehicle to stall and it is a dangerous problem in my opinion. In our case we are luckily the problem did not cause the vehicle to stall completely on the highway. I highly recommend that you look into this issue on the 2004 V70 Volvo's after the VIN range as the problem appears not to have been resolved on all vehicles exhibiting this dangerous problem.
