Car loosing power and engine missing at highway speeds. Engine light went on. Failure of fuel pressure monitor.

Car is all of a sudden accelerating on its own. It has happened a handful of times within the last month. I will make a turn, let off the gas peddle and then the car will just jerk forward revving up the rpms and accelerating on its own.

Car stalls with out warning when travel at speeds of 0-65 mph very dangerous!! There are recalls re: fuel pressure sensors for nearly all volvo makes except the s40 2005 this part is truly a defective item and needs to be recalled before a death occurs on the highway!! I thought volvo was a safe reliable car but I can honestly say this car is the biggest piece of junk I have ever spent a lot of money on. The tires blew out on the sides which also put me in danger the interior headliner fell off as well as all other...

My car was making a pumping noise from the rear of the car and the check engine light would come on. I took it to a local mechanic and they informed me of the pem recall/extended warranty. I took the car to the volvo dealership to have repaired and they said the pem was not the problem and that it was a fuel pressure sensor and possibly the fuel pump itself. I declined the repair and exactly 2 weeks later the car failed to start. I had it towed to my local mechanic since I live 70 miles from the volvo...

I have a 2005 volvo s40 2.4I with about 47k miles and I am having problems with the a/c. I live in houston (tx) where it gets very hot so I have to have the a/c on constantly. When I first turn the car on and drive off, the a/c starts cooling and working just fine. However, when it is 90f or above, the a/c begins to blow warm air after a few minutes. When that happens I have to turn it off and back on a few times to get it working again but it only works for a few minutes before I have to repeat "on/off" ritual....

Engine failure. Car stalled while driving on highway. Car was towed to wynn volvo. Was told that the belts broke, leading to the breakage of the timing belt, located inside the engine, resulting in major damage to the engine. Was given a quote of $5600 to repair. The car has 63000 miles and the manual does say that the belts need to be replace at 125 thousand miles. The services suggested prior to this does not include any of the belts being replaced. I believe that this should be a recall or atleast considered in the services and now. If this is considered, I would hope that this would warrant volvo to repair my car at no cost to myself. *Tr

When attempting to start vehicle in the morning the first try results in loud shaking and shuttering. Sounds like car is not running on all cylinders, or has bad timing. Inital problem is that hood insulator fasteners are comming off which could come in contact with accessory drive belt and casue engine failure. Vehicle has been brought to dealer two times. Dealer said that the problem could not be duplicated. Problem occurs at least once every two days.
