The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic stated that the failure occurred because the fuel pressure sensor was set to high. The manufacturer was notified and they stated that the VIN failed to qualify for the recall under NHTSA campaign id number 07v226000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 90,100.

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.

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 contact owns a 2004 Volvo V70. The check engine light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosis located the failure as the fuel pressure sensor. The manufacturer stated that the VIN wasn't listed in recall 07v226000 engine and engine cooling; therefore, they would not assist with the repairs. The failure and the current mileages were 84,000.

The contact owns a 2004 Volvo V70. While driving approximately 25-30 mph the vehicle began to shake and then it stalled. The contact stated that there were no warning lights. The vehicle restarted and began to function normally. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer since the check engine light was coming on and the dealer advised him that the fuel pressure sensor needed replacing. The contact referenced recall 07v226000, engine and engine cooling and was advised by the dealer that his vehicle was not part of the recall. The failure has occurred twice. The vehicle had not been repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 77,900 and the current mileage was 78,028.

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.

Driving on freeway 65 miles per hour, vehicle loses complete power, ets and check engine lights comes on. I was able to coast off the freeway onto the right shoulder. Tried several restarts to see if engine will run normally, after 10-15 minutes, started car, eng ran normal, ets and cel light still on. I was able to drive home without further incident.

7/26/07 traveling on I-77 and the car ran great. Suddenly, in same manner as car did approx 2 yrs ago on same interstate rpms dropped, car lost speed, no response at throttle, and within a few seconds we lost power, brakes, steering. Since this seemed just like 2 yrs ago (we reported this incident in 2005) we thought maybe the car will start in 10-15m. After 15-20 m of attempts where car started & immediately stalled car did start and ran fine. Since 2 years ago dealers were unable to diagnose & correct we continued to drive that evening and again the following day. The following day the car stalled again on I-? near atlanta, but this time in more traffic with difficulty getting car to side safely. Again car started like the evening before. Again-similar fuel level. We traveled 2 1/2 more hours on interstate. At destination and local dealer found no faults so no correction was made. After this 2nd occurrence we filled up more often 1/2 full or more. 2 days later and 7 more hrs on road without any problem. . As we arrive. Check engine light came on. Although car ran fine we took car to local dealer 1 hour away. They said they had a catalytic converter error but they didn't have one in stock. I told them I wasn't sure this was the problem that was causing the stalling because it stalled 2x (+1x 2 years ago) before the check engine light came on. I called my local dealer to discuss and he said he didn't think the catalytic converter was causing the stalling. Again, no definitive answers. After we left the dealer, the check engine light was off and it has stayed off. A couple of days later we drove the car 9-10 hours on the interstate to get home. Again, I kept the fuel levels approximately 1/2 tank and above. The car performed fine. We are very concerned about the stalling. When I check other complaints listed it appeared that someone else may have had a similar issue with low fuel stalling. Please don't hesitate to call to discuss.

On 2/3/06 our Volvo V70 year 2000, 74000m showed an ets light and check engine light. Car stalled at upon stopping and also upon stopping at a stop light the vehicle would not accelerate. Upon turning the car off and back on I was able to have it accelerate. The car would run ok for about 20 miles then lights came on again. Contacted Volvo byers in cols OH 614-864-0780 whom informed me that the throttle system is needing replaced. Had the vehicle serviced on 2/6/06. Byers perform fault tests and noted that there was low voltage and stated cables from battery were needing replaced. I informed them that I was confused with how this could cause the ets light and check engine light to come on and cause my car to stall and at times not accelerate while the car is running. They indicated that prior to fixing the ets they needed to fix this issue. The cost $463. 59. They then cleared all fault codes and noted that there was no ets code present. I informed them that this is probably because they did not drive the car enough after it had been turned off as this is what occurred to me the day the ets caused problems. They insisted that it was repaired. However, on February 15, 2006 the ets and check engine light came on again and the car stalled upon stopping and the lights would turn off upon restarting then driving 10 miles turned back on. I called the dealer complaining about the issue and failure to remedy the initial cause of the problem. I addressed my frustration that I spent over $450 to fix a problem that may never have had to be fixed. Researched other problems with Volvo ets and found similar issues and experiences with this module. Furthermore, I learn of a warranty extension but never received any documentation of any potential problem with the vehicle. This is a safety hazard. Had I been stopped in an intersection/railroad track I would not have been able to accelerate the car to avoid potential injury. Very frustrated with Volvo in ohio.

Car's check engine light came on while on interstate at 65 mph. Drove car additional 15 minutes to get home. Followed on-dash & owner's manual instructions to get checked at earliest convenience. Car broke down next day on way to mechanic. Car bucked and surged, decelerating and acculturating without any warning. Cel came on. Display read "performance reduced". Could go no faster than 20-25 mph. In no position to stop vehicle. On busy road with no usable shoulder. Car required towing. Onboard diagnostics (obd) said thermostat was bad, but mechanic suspected failed etm. He said this is a known issue with car. The thermostat was replaced. Car was drivable. Used approximately 5 miles more. Car broke down on way home, stranding me in intersection. Same issue. Car went into "limp home" mode. Shut it off. After five minutes, car returned to normal operation. Was able to drive back to mechanic. This time obd reported tell-tale codes for failed etm. Electronic throttle module was replaced at total cost of $1200. I phoned stillman Volvo where I purchased the car. They denied knowledge of any widespread, well-known issue regarding etm on 2001 Volvos. I called Volvo America customer care and they acknowledged a NHTSA investigation underway and that they hoped to have a resolution in a couple of weeks. The representative, however, told me that it would be unlikely that I would get any cost assistance from Volvo or my Volvo dealership since I had the work done by an independent mechanic. I am filing this complaint because I did a little research on-line with other Volvo owners. I now understand that Volvo America has known about this issue for years and has not issued a recall. I am upset regarding their statement regarding independent mechanics. But I am furious that this car manufacturer would risk the lives of their customers and their passengers by failing to take action on this issue.

On a trip alone to virginia from louisville ky when car slowed down and the check engine light came on. I was in a desolate part of the mountains in w. Va when this occurred. I immediately called the dealer in louisville, ky where I had purchased the vehicle and after explaining the situation they told me to not pull over or stop but to keep going,I could not get the car to go over about 45 mph, and they would look up the closest dealership to where I was going and call me back. They did this and it was charlottesville va which was an hour from my destination. They would not be open until the following day so I called them and took my car to them and they replaced the mass air flow part #8670263-6 for a total of $268. 45 on 12/3/04. When I returned to louisville and told my dealership there was no offer to reimburse me for this expense. I had 62,064 miles on my V70xc wagon at that time and no warranty was in effect. I read an article about this in the courier-journal newspaper today, August 2, 2005 and felt like there are probably many, many more complaints that you have not been contacted about. If I can supply you with any other information please don't hesitate to contact me. I do a great deal of highway travel and am alone so I bought this car so that I would be safe on all of my highway trips.

Malfunctioning of the electronic throttle system (ets) on my 1999 Volvo V70 station wagon caused me to lose power or stall completely while driving. It happened several times prior to having the ets replaced. It occurred for me at low speeds and in light traffic allowing me to get off the road. I was able to restart the engine after a short time interval. It could have been a major safety hazard if I had this failure at highway speeds and in traffic. This occurred several months ago and has been repaired at my expense, but on reading an associated press article today on an investigation of this problem by the NHTSA, I am submitting this as another instance of the problem being investigated. The air conditioning compressor and power windows had to be replaced. Currently, the check engine light is on.

When the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes didn't engage and the vehicle failed to stop, as a result the driver had to continuously pump the pedal to stop vehicle. Consumer stated there was complete and total brake failure. The consumer had the abs unit that was replaced. The check engine light illuminated. The dealer reset the light.

While traveling on the highway check engine light will appear on the dashboard. Due to the gasoline cap being loose the check engine light will appear on the dashboard. Consumer has to go to the dealer to have it turned off.
