While driving the vehicle under normal conditions, a sudden electrical fire occurred, requiring immediate evacuation. The vehicle was pulled over safely and the driver exited before the fire escalated. The fire department responded and the vehicle was declared a total loss due to fire damage. The failure is believed to have originated from an electrical short involving the climate control/defroster system. The affected wiring and components were destroyed by the fire and are not available for inspection. The day prior to the fire, the fuse controlling both the climate control system and the instrument cluster blew twice when the defroster was activated. The fuse was replaced, and the defroster was not used again. At the time of the fire, the defroster systems was not operating. There were no warning lights or alerts immediately prior to the fire. The fire occurred while the vehicle was in motion, creating a serious safety risk to the occupant and surrounding traffic. The incident has not been reproduced or inspected by a dealer. The vehicle was inspected by the fire department. No manufacturer inspection has occurred.

IF THE CONDITION OCCURS VEHICLE OWNERS MAY NOTICE FUEL SMELL AND/OR FUEL LEAK WHICH, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. This Recall Was Done for a 2004 Volvo xc90 . I am currently Experiencing the same problem with my 2007 volvo Xc90 AWD. Every time, I fill up to 1/2 a tank or full , I start to smell the fumes inside the vehicle . I took it to get inspected , and the mechanic said the fuel pump assembly usually cracks and the vapor goes inside the cabin. I personally think this is not safe for us drivers or the passengers. living in Arizona with high temperatures usually all plastic have wear and tear , but On the fuel pump housing ? It's not where we want it.

The issue first started on ma 3RD, 2019. I was driving down the highway on my way to the beach. The road was a little bumpy and then all of the sudden my car lost all power and shut itself off. It through 3 codes, 1. Immobilizer, 2. Engine control module and 3. Climate control module. I was able to have it towed home. My husband decided to research what could cause these issues. He located a youtube video that was posted 2 years ago regarding the ecm & ccm fuses. The man recording the video experienced the same problems, and found that the fuse for the two items have blown. My husband thought maybe that might be the issue. He located the fuses and found that both of them were in fact blown. He replaced them both with brand new fuzes and the car started right now.. The next day, I drove to work with no issues and to and from lunch. On my way home, about 3 miles from work, I went down a side street as there was an accident and traffic was backed up. The side street had speed bumps. The went over the first one with no issue, and the next one IS about 100 - 200 feet after, as soon as my back tires were over the 2ND bump, the car shut it self off again and I was stuck (may 6TH 2019). My husband shown my where the fuzes was and left extras in the storage area on the safe side. Again, both were blown. Once they were replaced for a 2ND time, car started. Now fast forward 5 months, the road from my dads house IS being repaved, as you can image very bumpy. I made it over all the bumps just fine, but as soon as I crossed over a major road, the car shut itself off again... This time I did not have extra fuzes, called a tow (october 11 2019). We were able to replace the fuzes again. Now the next day everything was fine again, but the same thing happened two more times (october 12, 2019). And now the car sits in my driveway, as I feel very unsafe to drive it.

In a nutshell: at approximately 8:35 wednesday morning (october 28TH), my volvo XC90 spontaneously caught fire in the pouring rain. I was in the car at the time. thankfully nobody was hurt. toronto fire services and toronto police services both attended the scene. the most frightening part of this incident IS the fact that it was completely spontaneous and very close to the gas tank! obviously it was the result of an electrical malfunction. thankfully another driver alerted me to the fact that my car was on fire - as it was not apparent to me - and I was able to leave the vehicle safely. I shudder to think of the potentially fatal gas explosion which would have followed, had we not been able to extinguish the fire as quickly as we did. please see link with videos and photos of the incident and resulting damage: https://goo.gl/photos/jwbdabcrjdn7vxj77

Use caution stopping, warnings appeared in my messages menu screen. the power was flickering on and off, on and off, until it just shut off completely. thankfully I was so close to my mechanic, that I just rolled down the hill into their driveway. this car IS not safe. I had my little girl in the car with me. I would hate to think what would have happened if we had been on the freeway unable to stop. *tr

We started the car there was a clicking sound from the engine, we drove for about 3-4 minutes. I noticed the ac wasn't working well and my husband who was driving looked down at the temperature gauge and it was in the red. since we were at a red light and we couldn't pull over he turned the car off to let it cool down. Once the stop light turned green other cars had to go around us until we let it cool down enough to restart and pull over. the engine was really hot. He checked the coolant which was full and the oil which was also fine. we then had our vehicle towed to the dealer. the dealer said it was the cooling fan circuit and they removed and replaced the cooling fan assembly. *tr

Vehicle (FWD SUV) began producing noise while driving at any rate of speed; noise coming from rear of vehicle. after jacking up the rear of the vehicle, I learned the driver's side rear wheel had approximately 1/2 inch movement and passenger's side rear wheel produced a great deal of noise when the tire was manually rotated (as if the hub assembly needed grease). driver's side hub assembly was replaced by mechanic. was told the passenger's side hub assembly will need to be replaced in the near future. I understand the SUV has 113,000 miles but I find it odd and dangerous that both rear wheel bearings/hub assembly units began failing at the same time. no physical injury or crash occurred; fire and collision were possible due to high friction and/or part failure. *tr

The headlights started to flicker a few months ago. At first I thought I was imagining it until they started to briefly blink, I still was not sure it was happening. tonight, as I was driving home, the lights abruptly turned off. I stopped the car as I was driving with no headlights and noticed a warning light that said low beam failure. I turned the car off and back on and the headlights started to work again. on the 30 minute drive home, the headlights would blink off and on; sometimes one would work, sometimes neither would work. Very unsafe!!! I'm very upset to read that this IS a known complaint and volvo has not addressed the problem. when the headlights turned off in the dark, I had both of my children in the car with me. it's horrible they would allow this known problem to go unresolved. That's playing with people's lives. *tr

The driver side low beam headlight keeps melting the plastic connector. I have replaced the connector and had all the wiring and other components checked on 3 different occasions. The dealer says nothing can be done to fix this issue. It IS ridiculous that a luxury brand like volvo IS very aware of this issue and does nothing to alleviate the problem. *tr
