Engine Cooling System problem #1

The contact owns a 2005 Volvo V70r. The contact stated that his vehicle would lose power when accelerating. The acceleration would "drop out" and pick back up for a second or two. It appeared as if the brakes had been applied, but no brake lights would illuminate. As a result, other drivers could not be forewarned about the deceleration, potentially causing the risk for a crash. The failure occurred while driving 40 mph or while accelerating to some extent. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they acknowledged NHTSA campaign id number 07v226000 (engine and engine cooling) for model years 2003-2004, but they would not assist because no codes appeared during the diagnostic. In addition, his model year was not included in the recall. The dealer stated that the 2005 model year was the same as the 2003 and 2004 years included in the recall. The current mileage was 42,000 and failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Emission Control problem #2

Consumer complaint for michelin energy tires. She states in the past 2. 5 years she has had 6 sidewall blowouts with these tires. She is concerned for the safety of her self and children and wants them recalled. The consumer stated has 2. 5 years left on the warranty of this tire and would like to have a different tire for the vehicle. The check engine light illuminated due to an evaporator leak.

Check Engine Light On problem #3

Vehicle stalled abruptly when travelling at highway speed. No check engine lights, etc were displayed. Pulled off of highway, restarted car after about 60 seconds and car ran without any futher problems. This is similar behavior I experienced with a 2001 xc70 that had a recall for the throttle body ecm.
