This vehicle, a 2004 V70 wagon, is exhibiting the exact safety defect described in Campaign 09V483000 / R220 (fuel odor, leaking flange, residual pressure loss). But because my VIN is not specifically on the list (it has been registered in CT, not in a "warm climate"), Volvo is refusing to fix. It is clear that this vehicle has the issue described in the recall (the top of the tank has been visualized). The issue started in January 2026 and has steadily worsened. With the amount of gasoline leaking, this is not only a safety issue but also an EMISSIONS issue.

The front passenger seat belt locks up. When pulled out it will not go back in causing the passenger not to be able to wear a seat belt.

I was at our automotive shop and had to give a customer a ride to work. I had the seat warmers on because it was cold outside. About a minute into the drive, I feel a burning sensation on my left outer thigh. I thought nothing of it. The burning sensation got worse, I stated, "something's burning me!" the customer states she smells something burning, like wires. I pull over, hop out of the car to notice a burn hole in my seat. Luckily, I did not get severely burnt, however, my thigh was sore for about 4 hours. After this happened, I went online to see if there was a recall on the seat. There was not. After googling this situation, I found that my 04 volvo V70 wasn't the only vehicle that has had this issue. Many, many people with the same year, make, and model have had this same issue.

While driving with my 2 year old...i smelled what I thought was my engine overheating, pulled over to take a look and as opened my drivers side door smoke was billowing out of my seat, melting a hole through to the left side of seat bottom, near backrest and seat adjustment buttons. Luckily, after turning the seat heater off the electrical malfunction cooled off. I went to local volve dealership and they said "your car IS too old to have a valid recall status", nor did they offer to assist in any way.

After investigation, I discovered that used vehicle just purchased (2004 volvo V70) had a bad rem module; rendering fuel gauge, rear door locks, fuel door latch, and hatchback lock inoperative. the rear hatchback has no manual method to lock it; making vehicle unsecurable. Investigation online indicates this IS a known issue. dealer wants around $200 to update software to fix problems. this IS unacceptable, since at least two critical items (hatchback and fuel door latches) depend on functioning rem to secure them. I believe these items should be covered by the manufacturer regardless of age.

When we first purchased the car we drove it for about a week before it started surging forward and stalling a lot. My fianc and I would have to pull over, park the car, have to turn the key three times before starting. Would have to repeat process every 5 minutes. So we took it to paramount volvo of hickory, ended up taking it there for service. Dropped it off with a max full tank of gas as well, along with personal items we left in the car. It takes then about 4 or 5 days before calling us back with diagnostics, so we end up paying almost 1,600$ to get the timing chain replaced, new hoses put on, fuel pump replacement, and the fuel injectors. We pick it up, and our gas IS almost on empty....and a few items were missing out of our vehicle as well. I know they have to test drive it after servicing the vehicle, it seemed like they took it on a joy ride all over hickory. But we decided not to mention that, and took it as a compliment of them "liking" the car. At least we had it fixed we thought, then drove 45 minutes up the mountain home. Drove for about a day or two until "check engine" light came back on, so we called volvo back. That time we ended up getting the fuel pump replaced on a "recalled part". Again it drive fine after picking it back up 2ND time then started acting up again, brought it back and they fixed the timing on it. Picked it up, week or two later we set up a new appointment because the car IS surging, rpms won't go over 2000, kicks out and in gear, rpm gauge fluctuates when stopped. My 4 year old daughter and I were driving down the highway yesterday and it started surging, the steering seemed alot looser, then it started shaking around a curve pretty bad, got scared and braked, steering wouldn't turn , kept going straight, ran into the grass ,thank god. We could have died. Also attaching a photo of the rest of my complaint since it wouldn't fit.

Prking brake friction lining delaminates from brake shoe, then gets jammed intermittently in the disk brake system, causing lurching stops. photo available of the friction lining fragments.others on internet report that fragments have caused enormous wheel damage at highway speeds.

I have had two volvo V70 station wagons. both of them have exhibited the following- when filling at certain gas stations (sunoco most recently) the gas pump will not shut off automatically before fuel comes pouring out of the filler. I believe it IS a fuel filler problem in the car, not in the pump, because I do not have this problem with any of our other cars. I believe it IS either an issue of the car's fuel filler tube shape, or dimensions. dangerous! approx 1 full cup of gas.

I was driving at about 35 mph. When I slowed down to make a 90 degree right turn, without warning the engine and power steering went off as I was turning. I had to manually steer the car and luckily did not crash because there was no car in the opposite lane. I pulled over to the side of the road, restarted the car, and received no error message. I took the car to the local volvo dealer where they could find nothing wrong and deny this IS a recall issue.

Driving home from detroit to indianapolis on highway... Check engine light came on, then went out a little further down the road... Later came on again... Engine was running fine... Then sudden power loss....engine completely stopped... Coasted to side of highway with no power steering or power brakes... Restarted engine... Engine ran well enough to get me to next exit before losing power again... This time it wouldn't run well enough to drive it after restarting.... After expensive trip to dealer for repair, found out issue was a fuel pressure sensor that failed... This IS kind of like having your car lose power and stop running because your coolant temperature gauge failed... Engine control module should not shut car off in response to this fuel pressure sensor fail... This gauge IS used to optimize fuel consumption... It's not a pressure regulator... Unexpected and complete power loss on a highway can be very dangerous... Engine control module should not be programmed in this way... *tr

When the vehicle IS driving at any speed and the accelerator pedal IS pushed down, there IS often a loss of power and the vehicle will not move forward for up to 5 to 10 seconds. There IS a recall on this year and model already but my specific vehicle with my vin IS not covered. However our vehicle IS doing the exact same thing as the vehicles that have been recalled. I have spoken to volvo but they have been unwilling to work with us to repair the vehicle. I feel as though the previous recall should have been expanded but I am unsure. Thank you *tr

This complaint pertains to the drivers side seat-heater. When activated, on the lowest of 2 settings, the occupant of the drivers-side front seat experiences a burning-pain sensation in the right-rear area of the thigh, after 60-90 seconds of the seat heater being activated via dash button. The owner of the car worries that: 1.) accidental activation of the drivers-side seat heater, with no occupant in that seat, could result in thermal damage to the leather and padding of the seat, as well as combustion leading to the destruction of the car. 2.) accidental activation of the seat-heater with an occupant in the drivers-side front seat could result in, sudden and extreme, discomfort to the vehicle operator, resulting in an uncontrollable physical reaction to pain, which could cause the automobile to leave the road, resulting in an accident. 3.) the value of the car to be decreased upon potential sale of the car, due to the fact that the seat does not heat as intended, and additionally poses a danger to the driver of the vehicle. The fact that this apparatus' failure to operate as intended IS in no part due to the owners following of recommended service and maintenance guidelines, would be interpreted as a "defect" by the potential buyer, thus devaluing the car, IS worrisome. a fire caused inadvertently, or sudden pain causing a vehicle operator to involuntarily take his/her whole focus off of the task of driving, certainly constitutes a vehicle safety issue. An issue, affecting the immediate vehicles' driver and occupants, as well as other motorists on the road. volvo submodel: V70 "r" . *Tr

The recall I saw for this year car IS similar to the one issued. could my car have been missed? nhtsa campaign ID number: 07v226000 recall date: 2007-06-05 summary: on certain passenger vehicles, the fuel pressure sensor located on the left end of the fuel rail may, at times, transmit incorrect signal regarding the fuel pressure to the engine control module. If the signal IS outside of the pre-programmed allowable limits, a diagnostic trouble code may be set and the check engine light will come on. The soldered joints on the circuit board of the fuel pressure sensor may crack due to temperature changes and excessive vibrations. consequences: misfire may occur during driving that, in turn, will reduce the engine torque and in the worst case scenario, the engine may stall without warning. In certain traffic situations this could cause an unsafe situation and possibly a crash. remedy: dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensor free of charge. The recall began on june 29, 2007.
