The tensioner pulley for the serpentine belt seized up while traveling at 70 mph, melting the serpentine belt and causing an engine fire.
Fire started in rear near battery compartment. Within seconds, it exploded.
I smell gas in my car now its leaking gasoline. When I pull in driveway I see gas leaking from bottom.
For the second time in 6 months, the vehicle lost all power without warning while in transit. Yesterday, it occurred on a major highway at 60 mph. The car died without warning with resultant loss of power stearing, breaking, dash, etc. We were able to coast into a breakdown lane, but it could have been disasterous. State police arrived within minutes of dialing 911. This happened 6 months ago as well and the dealership replaced a fuel injector module. The internet is repleat with very similar issues involving this model and vintage. The common response from Volvo dealers seems to be that it is an "act of god". This is a defect, not an act of god, and these vehicles should be recalled. It is only a matter of time before there will be major injuries or deaths as a result of the defect.
This is then second time the ignition switch on my 2006 Volvo xc 90 has failed. The original was replaced with a new switch and now that replacement switch has also failed. This should not be a part that fails twice in 7 years.
