[This IS a preventative complaint. no injury sustained.] this car has a failed passenger seat sensor that when depressed activates the passenger side air bag. this vehicle also has a driver side seat belt that clicks and then can be pulled out of the locking harness. these items are not recalled by the manufacture but, in my opinion, should be for customer safety.

(S40 2.4I) initial car message: "brake failure, pull over safely." I continued to drive home since I was a few blocks away. message changed to "anti skid service required" then back to brake failure again. difficulty accelerating after stopping, felt like the parking brake was on but drove ok once accelerated. attempted to turn off car but message changed to "immobilizer, check manual" and could not turn key to off position. from what I read in the manual, it appeared that the card didn't recognize it was in park. turned parking brake on and off a few times and was able to turn off car. brought to local mechanic who replaced brake pad sensor and anti-stop switch. --in and out of auto repair shop 4X over the past month w/the same issues and new symptoms: wipers turned on automatically and don't shut off and new message: engine system service urgent. --mechanic replaced some rusted wires, brought to a volvo dealer who reset computer and did not find any problems. --still having same issues. cannot put car into drive or turn off car when brake failure or anti-skid message appear but if I wait a few minutes, I can turn the car off and on a couple of times to get to the engine system service urgent message and I can then put it into drive. sometimes all messages go away and it IS fine for a few days but then the car jerks forward as if someone bumped the car and all messages appear again. new message: power steering message flashed briefly .. Although there was no problem w/the steering. bringing to another volvo dealer.. The saga continues. --i read prior consumer complaints on this site and I also had the sunroof leakage problem in 2013. entire floor of car was soaked, especially passenger side. took 3 visits, weeks and $900 to get it fixed. Volvo first cleaned out the clogged line but carpets were wet again so they then replaced the entire line. *js

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 material on the doors all leather IS loose gear shifter cover fell apart. Gas cap broke gas builds too much pressure loosening the gas cap frequently these are just some of the issues I have. Very disappointed in this vehicle I keep my car in the garage. Only drive to and from grocery shopping and dr appts please consider recalls on the important parts of the vehicle that can save lives! *js

- 10167887Technical Journal TITLE : The Error Frame Finder (EFF) can be an aid in fault tracing intermittent CAN network problems by providing a visible indication of error frames that are being transmitted on the network when the fault becomes active. The advantage of using the EFF function is that error frames are usually transmitted on the network before a vehicle symptom can occur. Hence, if the fault is very intermittent in nature, it may be possible, for example, to induce the wiring fault for a short duration by manipulating the vehicle harnesses and connectors. The electrical fault will occur and be detected by the EFF without ever having a vehicle symptom appear. The instructions for setting up the tool have been simplified.
