general problems of the 2008 Volvo XC70

The contact owns a 2008 Volvo Xc70. The contact stated that while her husband was leaving a restaurant drive thru, the vehicle loss motive power without warning while entering onto the main street. The driver was waiting for a tow truck to tow the vehicle from the scene. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 09v218000 (engine and engine cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. The VIN was unavailable.

My 2008 Volvos engine caught on fire while I was shopping , the engine is completely destroyed so it is totaled.

Have had multiple overheating incidents while driving, which coincided with the air conditioner stopping working. I think learned of Volvo recall #09v218000 which describes exactly the failure I've been experiencing. I contacted Volvo customer service, but they claim that my VIN does not fall under the vehicles recalled. The referenced above was for 17,614 2008-2009 Xc70, s80, and v70 vehicles. Evidently was related to a software programming error in the fan control module, and the defect corrective action was supposed to be replacing the fcm. Volvo told me that they will not assist with this effort, even though it's a major safety issue effected by the recall, but apparently not my specific VIN. Any assistance in getting additional vins added to this recall would be greatly appreciated.

My Volvo's engine started to sputter then died and lost all power. This occurred in seconds and left my two young children and I in a very dangerous, potentially deadly traffic situation. My gas gauge read 150 miles worth of gas left in gas tank. The Volvo was towed to the dealership where it was found to have a faulty fuel pump and control module. Both were replaced.
