Angle/collar gear/sleeve, haldex AWD. Hundreds of thousands of AWD volvos have this issue yet volvo has never taken action or recalled part. This IS just one of many issues thousands of volvo's have. But the AWD system non functioning due to stripped teeth caused by rust because of inadequate grease/lube etc. On thousands of vehicles ranging from their small sedans to suv's should be something. They have even updated the angle gear/collar sleeve with one that has "hardened" teeth, but no recall on a part of the vehicle that IS suppose to always function. A lot were lucky enough it happened while still under warranty. But getting stuck/stranded in snow because your vehicle IS only 2 wheel drive when its suppose to be AWD. I did not find out my AWD did not work until I had gotten stuck in the snow. turns out hundreds if not thousands of people had to find out this same way. I believe volvo has just been lucky no one has died yet due to failed AWD system. I am not certain about what conditions need to be met before a recall IS done. this IS just one of the issues with volvo's. I am not sure on the exact date my AWD system stopped working because driving on anything other than snow, or ice you cannot tell. But a simple search on the internet and hundreds if not thousands of people starting early as 2000's to most recent as 2019 having same issues, some more than once, and a few coming up with their own way of fixing volvos issue. But photos can be found all over the web. Also volvo sells these advertised as AWD when in fact it IS FWD all time, until front tires lose traction which only then do the rear wheels engage. Yet can break or malfunction even though they only ever come on 20-30% of the vehicles total miles driven. not sure of AWD definition but I always thought it stood for all wheel drive, not front wheel drive; all wheel drive when front wheels lose traction.

Transmission has hard eratic shifting from first to second. Then second to third gear with over reving before engaging into gear. Driving around corners transmission completely slips out of gear, over revs and then lunges forward very hard. Very unsafe for the safest brand of car on the market. Recall?

Twice now over a ten day period first when reducing speed to a stop or then again at a speed of less than 5 mph, the car died...first the engine died then all else died. The car went dead. I still had my steering and slowly rolled to the curbed then as I gently put on the brakes the car jerked to a halt. During the second incident the car still jerked after I had stopped. A loud sound of a fan from the engine could be heard. the fan stopped after 10 to 15 seconds. after a minute I restarted the car and made it home both times. *tr

The car had difficulty in starting all of a sudden. It appeared to be an electronic ignition problem. After a few starts, warning signals started coming on. first was "engine under performance" and then it was "break failure". The car was stopped and towed to volvo dealer. The dealer indicated that the car's fuel pump / lines were designed and installed outside the weather shielded housing. The salt used for snow melting corrodes these lines and several cars show up with this issue.so they replaced them and moved them to within the weather protected area. Searching the internet, I found several volvo cars of this era have this problem and several occurred while driving - both loss of speed and break failure. My car was well maintained, regular oil changes with the synthetic oil and maintained by volvo dealer or specialist. I also use the recommended 91 or 93 octane gas, so it cannot be attributed to lax maintenance or lesser quality fuel. The online forums seem to have all kinds of diagnostics for this problem. If it was a design fault at manufacturer, as advised by the volvo dealer, I would think it would should be investigated for recall. *tr

TL* the contact owns a 2005 volvo S60. The contact stated that the vehicle was slow to start. Once started, the vehicle would rive sluggish and was slow to accelerate. The contact had an independent mechanic replace the mass air flow sensor more than three times but the failure recurred. The mass air flow sensor was cleaned and the sensor was reset by the independent mechanic but that did not remedy the failure. The contact indicated that an interim solution was to disconnect the mass air flow sensor and upon doing so the vehicle did not have the hesitation. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure was recurring intermittently. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Car cut out and stalled while driving on a busy highway. The car had more than a quarter tank of fuel at the time. This has happened on more than one occasion since I purchased the car early february 2014. This IS not safe and there IS a high potential for an accident. I have read other volvo S60'S from other years were recalled for the same issue in relation to fuel system. Why was this year not recalled when there IS clearly the same problem?

A second, similar incident occurred in the fall of 2011 at 108,000 miles. Auto scandia in herndon, va, replaced mass air flow meter in an attempt to address the problem. The vehicle performed well for several months without incident. unfortunately it stalled again in march 2012. This was also without any warning while traveling at highway speeds (60 mph). The unusual highway breakdown was very dangerous. *tr

I have had to replace the engine cooling system (radiator) twice for this car in less than 66K. while you are driving, the warning "stop car immediately coolant low" comes on. volvo has changed the supplier for this part, which tells me they know it IS a problem. not only IS this scary, but the cost to replace (with labor) IS over $1,300. I think this IS both a hazard for the driver, other drivers (if you need to pull over quickly and stop your engine) as well as an unnecessary cost. as a consumer who has tolerated enough corporate abuse (banks, wall street, car bailouts) I am hopeful that the nhtsa will look into this issue and require that volvo stand behind the quality of the cars they make and sell. *tr

I own a 2005 volvo S60. when driving today to work, with no warning, the vehicle stalled. I was unable to control the gas and the steering became rough. hitting the accelerator did nothing. I was able to slow the vehicle to the side of the road. once I turned it off and back on it restarted. if this had happened on a highway, it could have resulted in a major accident. research shows that this IS a common problem with volvo. there was a recall for these incidents for under years 2003 -and 2004- 07v226000 . the recall for the S40 covered through 2006 - 08v033000. a search of the internet forum shows that this IS happening for a lot of the 2005 models as well. please consider including these model years as this IS a danger. *kb

Without warning or other problems, the car's engine suddenly lost power at about 55 mph on the highway, message of "reduced engine performance" came on. although the car remained turned on, pressing on the gas pedal had little to no effect on either the movement of the car or the rpm's. once the car was stopped but was still turned on, it maintained a strong "pulsing" action and sound from the engine. when put into "drive" and "reverse" gears, the car moved in "limp mode" at approximately 2 mph regardless of how much pressure was placed on the gas pedal. the car was towed to the dealership. after coasting it off the tow truck, the car started normally and responded normally when put into reverse and forward gears, but the "reduced engine performance" message remained. dealer's service computer indicated at least 10 error codes, most pertaining to fuel pump problems. the service computer also indicated that the initial and primary problem was with the electronic fuel pump module. the service department's inspection of this electronic part, and the staff's experience with similar problems on other volvo's manufactured prior to 2006, indicated that the electronic fuel pump module had suffered corrosion due to its placement on the outside of the vehicle. this problem was corrected when a new electronic fuel pump module was installed inside the vehicle. this was a very costly repair. I was informed by a representative of no. America's volvo customer care department that this defect contributed to recalls of two different volvo models of the same year, but not the S60. the reason for omitting the S60 from the recall was not explained, but clearly it should have been included since the location of the fuel module and the resulting problems are the same. in addition to the high cost of the repair, the unusual highway breakdown was very dangerous. *Tr

I have seen the recall of volvo S60 models 2001-2005 in us in regards to the fuel pump cracks in flange and thus leak of fuel which may result in a fire. I am currently (since 7 days of the date of writing this complaint) having the same problem with my car (volvo S60 model 2005) in uae/ abu dhabi. The dealer along with the service managers and workshop refused to carry the repair free of charge since the recall IS not within uae and my car chassis number IS not listed either. I was doing the utmost to let them understand that this a safety issue regardless the recall list and regardless if it IS inside uae or outside and thus volvo dealer must repair for me at once free of charge. They do not care about my safety where I still smell the gas inside the car and I am exposed to a fire as long as I am driving it with no repair. I am writing this to announce the unsatisfied about the way the dealer/ service manager treated this subject and concentrating about the money to be paid by the customer rather than sustain the safety of personnel/ owners of volvo. I told them that they need to report to volvo international that the subject of the recall in us happened with one of the customers in uae. Yet I got a negative action and/ or care. *tr

Headlight wiring and connector burned causing light to go out. The dealer replaced the wiring and connector according to a tsb issued by volvo. Dealer stated that they had repaired several volvos with this problem. Although the dealer said this was a safety issue and volvo issued a tsb and provided a repair kit for repairs volvo does not consider this a safety issue. Thankfully, only one light burned out at the time otherwise I would have crashed at 70 mph. Dealer said both headlight wiring cables and connectors were burnt and they replaced both. I reported this safety issue to tennessee and kentucky consumer protection division. This one light went out on several occasions before I took the car to the dealer and discovered the safety problem. Repairs made at my cost. *Tr

While driving on I-81 in virginia my left rear tire disintegrated. I was able to move right to safety and when doing so the upper half of the tire rolled past me and came to rest 50 feet ahead of the car against the railing. All tires are new, with less than 200 miles on them. I called 911, the state police came and called a wrecker. I was towed and received a replacement tire at a car shop and returned home. on inspection it appeared that the sidewall complete gave a way. Fortunately a piece of the rubber stayed on the rim thus protecting the rim from damage. this should not have happened and I would like you to investigate. Fortunately nobody was hurt but this could have been a very serious accident. the car a 2005 volvo S60 in fine condition had been bought from carmax a week earlier and had been fully inspected prior to sale. *Tr

- 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.
