1997 Volvo 960 Engine problems

The leaking fuel rail spurts gasoline onto the hot automobile engine, causing gasoline fumes in the passenger compartment and is potentially dangerous. There is risk of fire due to this hazard. Volvo dealers are aware that this problem exists. I have contacted volvo na customer care but they have not provided an acceptable response. This complaint is an addendum to a previous complaint by another volvo car owner. Please see nhtsa reference # 10378366. *Kb

Customer 1997 volvo 960 engine failed due to timing belt pulley failure. **Cc the entire engine had to be replaced because a head bolt had seized in the engine block. *Jb

Check engine light came on then low coolant light. Suddenly lost power due to engine failure. It seized up due to overheating. Temperature gauge never registered hot. Radiator neck broke off at neck causing lost of coolant. Engine ruined. Dealer will not replace claiming thermostat stuck even though they couldn't prove this. *Jb

With no indication of overheating the engine overheated and was destroyed. The only idiot light to come on was the check engine light and that was after black smoke was coming from the engine. The temperature gauge never registered outside of the normal range and no other warning lights were activated. The engine needs to be replaced according to volvo but this is not covered under my extended warranty because they state it does not matter that the gauges malfunctioned and they can not be tested anyway because the car can not be started.*Ak

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

A piece of plastic foil dropped off and flew back at 75mph from the bottom of vehicle with no indication, the air handling system that scoops the air is where the piece came from. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem. *Ak
