Takata recall" frist I called volvo to inquire about recalls referening to the cooling system and the fuel pump the first lady I spoke with informed me this problem was under recalls and to take my car to get it serviced at the nearest dealer after taking my car to the dealer at 7:15am 4hours later after I called them first they now are saying that there isn't anything they can do with my car and they do not know who told me that false information.

Takata recall- the vehicle become non responsive when pushing the accelerator, the engine started running rough, the cruise control stopped working, the dstc (dynamic stability traction control) failed and the engine coolant temperature stopped reading. The vehicle started stalling everytime I come to a stop. All this started at the same time while I was driving the vehicle. *Tr

Hesitation, surging, loss of power, etc. This car runs so erratically that I am even afraid to change lanes in traffic because I am just afraid that it is going to stop right in the middle and I am going to be hit by the car behind me. I am afraid to stop at traffic lights because the car wont accelerate and run normally therefore ill have upset drivers in back of me waiting until the car decides to move forward. This is very dangerous especially when you are driving with a lot of traffic around you. I have taken...

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 volvo s80. While driving 35 mph, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to another ford dealer that will perform the repair.

She also stated that the radiator was replaced at 28,000...

I was driving approx. 65 Miles an hour on i395 and I was in the passing lane. I went to accelerate and move into the travel lane and I was not able to accelerate. My speed stared to reduce and all of the power shut off in the vehicle. No warning lights came on and no indication on what the car was shutting down. I checked for vehicles behind me and around me and put on my hazard lights. I quickly pulled off of the busy highway and managed to stop at the side of the road (middle of the highway - next to the median)....

We began reporting problems with hesitation and surging in our 2001 s80 t6 several years ago to the service department at our nearest dealer, sill terhar motors in broomfield, colorado. They tried replacing a turbo valve and a software upgrade that was available at the time, and we were told that using the highest octane fuel would be necessary in order to prevent the hesitation. The problem continued. Given the inconvenience of the dealers location and that they had not seemed to be able to correct the...

My 2001 volvo s80 t6 cost me around $3,500 in repairs/maintenance after purchase in the last 3 months. This car has something going wrong one thing after another. To mention some: front sway-bar links, turbo charger drain, bad alternator (that cause other electronics to malfunction i.E. The vehicle's entire heating system), in-car sensor failure for interior air quality , electronic throttle module failure that caused me to have the vehicle towed to the volvo dealership for $190, catalytic converter failure, oxygen...

2001 Volvo s80 t6. Vehicle stalls without warning when accelerator is released and vehicle returns to idle. Problem was fixed once but has returned. Dealer & volvo n.A. Say that since there is no computer code for the stall and they can't duplicate it there is no cure. Vehicle has stalled on numerous occasions during the last 5 months including 12/17/2006 in heavy traffic the hov lane on the long island expressway. Has also stalled in high speed traffic on i95 in stamford, ct and while making turns and going through intersections. *Jb

Initially lack of acceleration and sputtering on acceleration, check engine light and emission system error message. Codes reset. Then problem recurred approximately one month later. Dealer provided etm software download. Approximately 3 weeks after download, check engine light on, weak acceleration, hesitation or slipping on shifting. *Nm

Dt*: the contact stated while in stop and go traffic the vehicle stalled three times. The vehicle restarted each time and was taken to the dealership for the 60,000 miles checkup. Although there were no codes on the computer, the dealership performed a software update for this problem. Updated 4/19/2006 - 25 miles after the 60000 mile check up the vehicle stalled again and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The vehicle has not stalled again since the software updated was performed. *Nm

Car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. Car has stalled intermittently several times. *Nm

Well, well - let's see, I bought a 2001 volvo s-80, t-6 in february 2005 to replace my 1996 740 il bmw - I thought I would get a more economical and safe car. Boy was I wrong! To my disgust I paid almost $20,000 for this used car and within weeks it started acting up. It turned out to be the mass airflow sensor and the throttle body. I finally - 9 months after purchasing the car - have had to get it fixed - over $1200.00. I, like another person who filed a complaint, was making a left hand turn on a...

Volvo s80 electronic throttle module (etm) production defect not covered under warranty as the defect occurred just outside of warranty. Dealer cost to correct is outrageous given this is clearly a manufacturer engineering defect within the throttle body mechanism itself. *Jb

2001 Volvo s80 developed problems with hard start up and shutting down. *Mr the vehicle stalled without warning along with a loss of power steering and power brakes. (Cranks but will not stay running which may be due to the engine control module) *sc

I was driving my vlolvo s80 on 07/10/2005 on the highway when it suddenly lost power. I could barely operate it over 30 miles an hour. I got stopped by a state policeman and got ticket for operating under 30 miles/hour and negligent operation. I'm schefuled for an appeal hearing. Throttle was replaced by a dealesrhip, nut they said that it can happen again, since it's the same design part.

On or about may 3rd, 2005, my wife was driving our 2001 volvo t6 when she suddenly lost engine performance. She was traveling along a busy interstate and she managed to get the car into the emergency lane while holding up traffic behind her. The following msg appeared on the dash, "engine performance reduced". When she got the car to the side of the road, she turned the car off and called me to inform me the car was not working properly. She started the car after a few minutes and it performed okay on the way...

I have a 2001 volvo s80 2.9 And I am experiencing my car trying to push itself and the rpm idling very fast and the car feels like its going to shut off. I submitted a complaint already about my sons s60 and c70, which are have the same troubles as my s80. The throttle control module I think is defective and should be recalled. Luckily my car hasn't turn off on me yet, but one time I thought I was going to get in an accident due to the car jumping from a complete stop. Please get this problem fixed. Thanks. *Nm
