Fuel gauge erratically moves downward inappropriately. Seems to reset when car restarted, but totally undependable in terms of accuracy. Auto is 3. 5 years old but out of warranty at 60k mi. Dealer recommends new fuel tank (which includes sending unit) and fuel pump. Recommended against used part as "old part has been superceded" it sounds like this is a defect which has not resulted in a recall/campaign. Note: repair with parts and labor is $2100. 00.
2008 Volvo Xc70 on road trip to college on I-75, started sputtering and "check engine " light went on. I exited at nearest exit lake city, FL and parked and called for road side assistance. My car was flat-bedded and taken to ocala Volvo. Fuel sensor, fuel tank , fuel pump etc replaced. I had to use a loaner for the road trip after already losing one day of travel.
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.
