Both of the key fobs I have are broken in that the key won't lock straight out or stay folded into the fob. The weight of the plastic fob alone frequently causes the key to twist backwards if the road is bumpy or uneven, which kills the engine and makes it extremely difficult to steer to safety without power steering. The first time this happened to me I was traveling at 55 mph on a crowded highway but fortunately I was in the rightmost lane, not in a curve, and was approaching an area where I could pull over to safety. I have had to duct tape both keys in the open position to prevent this. The situation is much worse if additional keys or other weight is added to the ring. It is possible to insert a broken key in a way that causes the weight of the fob to hang away from the driver but large road bumps or accidental interference from the driver or passengers can cause it to flip backwards anyway. These incidents are alarming and confusing for the driver, particularly the first time, and could easily cause an accident depending on the conditions. I am not the only person who has experienced this issue, and it will become even more common as these vehicles age.

Strong odor of gas outside of car.

The car IS putting forth a strong odor of gasoline. This was first noticed a couple of weeks ago but was put down to having just filled the tank. The problem has progressed to the point where you can smell gas 20 feet away from the car. We are not allowing our daughter to drive the car as it IS an extreme fire hazard. I had the same issue with another S80 in 2015 which also wasn't covered in the recall since it was not sold in a "hot climate". With that car the fuel pump (with defective flange) was replaced and the problem went away. Although I am not convinced that heat IS the problem (rather the defective flange) the temperatures in our area ranges from 15 in winter to low 100S in the summer. This IS a problem which volvo has acknowledged and it clearly makes driving the car dangerous if not deadly. recall for this problem 09v483000 - volvo recall #R220.

Purchased a 2004 volvo S80 in "mint condition" from a used car dealership (good reputation).three (3) months later the transmission started the famous volvo "slip, slide, away".. It rides like a rock, I fell every crack, grain of sand in the road. I replaced the struts, coil springs, lower control arms and other suspensions parts but to no avail improved its condition. Every week or so I get the "stop safely coolant level low" warning on my dash...keep in mind the dealership had nothing to do with these issues since the conditions didn't appeared until 3 months/50000 miles after the purchase. Steering has some play and I'm continuously recovering the directional path slightly. Shortly after I purchased the vehicle I installed all new tires (michelins) purchased a lifetime wheel alignment, which was done during new tire install and recently re-checked. I do 90% of the work myself; I'm an engineer by trade with 40 years of mechanical skills/knowledge. Checked the recall database by vin (safercar.gov) and various other sites and there was no recall on my vehicle. The volvo situation IS extremely disheartening for such a well-known european car.

Shortly after moving to north carolina, I began to smell fuel. I first thought that it was the gas cap and replaced it. the smell continued to grow stronger and stronger, to the point I could not keep it parked in my garage in my townhome due to the smell of gas which would permeate the entire house. I also noticed during this time a substantial loss in gas mileage. I took the car in to have it looked at. the auto shop found that the fuel pump was leaking and showed me the back of the fuel tank which was covered in gas. due to the extreme risk, the auto shop stated that the pump needed to be replaced immediately, especially since I was about to take a 300-mile trip. the shop did find the recall: 09v483000 and called the local volvo dealer. the dealer stated that my car was not covered by the recall. I requested that the fuel pump be given to me so that I could review the recall. I then reviewed all the documentation online, specifically the pictures of the pumps which were covered vs. The pump which was bad. my pump matches exactly to the "bad" pump. in addition, the fact that my car was leaking gas to the point of coating the outside of the fuel tank indicates that this should have been a covered incident.

Back in 2010 under the recall adv ,i took my car in to my volvo dealer for the recall for fuel smell and they told me it was ok . The car then had around 90.000 miles or so, now I take my car back with strong fuel smell in 2015 170.000 miles and I reported to volvo head quarters and they tell they will cover the pump only and not the labor to tune of 550.00 because the car has over 150000 miles on it and IS past the recall extended warrinty , but I thought under recall p29075 that volvo IS lia for free replacement of parts and labor the first time I took it in. Volvo told me it IS about 4 hrs labor when there own recall calls for .09 hrs labor. So it hasn't been fixed yet. I will fix it my self to the tune of a pump (bocsh pump 155.00 )and my own labor.thanks for nothing volvo I guess if I would of burnt up in this car volvo wouldn't be lia ? My att sure thinks they would of been. Never will buy a volvo again.

Vehicle has been hesitant, sputtering and surging when stopped or increasing speed. when stopped the vehicle surges and moves. this can be very dangerous, as we can hit a vehicle in front of us. the etm has been cleaned by collins auto in sc. they told us that it needed to be replaced with a few thousand miles. there IS build up in the throttle body and this IS due to the oil change interval (7500 miles) which IS recommended by volvo. this IS a safety issue and a part defect which volvo should fix and replace at their cost. *tr

This will help us quickly locate and review your correspondence. customer by css web ([xxx]) (03/19/2014 08:08 pm) after this vehicle's engine shut off several times while zipping along the interstate I resolved to figure out why and found the following condition would cause it to do so. I have a number of keys on the keyring and the spring which normally holds the key out straight from its holder IS broken. When the key/holder IS inserted back side up and then rotated to the run position the body of the holder eventually folds half way in against the column, with the other keys on the ring pulling it downwards. After enough bumps in the road the downward force rotates the key out of the run position. If the key/holder IS inserted buttons side up this does not occur. Thought you'd like to know about this scenario before the gm litigators get wind of it. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *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.
