2001 Volvo S60 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DEAD AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING. MESSAGES CAME UP SAYING THAT THERE WAS AN SRS AIRBAG ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE. ALL OF THE MESSAGES WERE FALSE AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT DEAD. THIS IS A CONCERN SINCE THE MESSAGES ARE INCORRECT ACCORDING TO WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK THAT VOLVO SHOULD REPLACE ALL OF THE DIMS AND CEMS FOR EVERY CAR THAT EXHIBITS THIS PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME FOR VEHICLES UNDER 125,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CLUSTER HAS GONE DEAD. ALSO EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN RAINING AND THE DEALER HAS SAID THAT THERE ARE NO SHORTS IN THE SYSTEM. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THEY ARE REPLACING EVERY PART WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A GASOLINE ODOR WAS PROMINENT AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,489.

DRIVERS POWER SEAT MECHANISM RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY MOVES FORWARD PINNING THE DRIVER AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. PUSHING THE CONTROL BUTTON TO THE REAR WILL STOP FORWARD MOVEMENT. PUSHING IT TO THE REAR AGAIN WILL BEGIN SEAT MOVEMENT TO THE REAR. BUT REARWARD MOVEMENT OFTEN IS STOPPED AND INTERRUPTED BY FORWARD MOVEMENT AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A PARTIAL SEARCH ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT THE VOLVO SEAT MECHANISM IS FAILURE PRONE. *TR

THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE HAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. WE ARE AWARE OF THE RECALL 220 IN 2010. MY VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA IN 2010 YET THE MANUFACTURER INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN NEW YORK, A STATE NOT MADE PART OF THIS RECALL. {IF THE LANGUAGE IN THE RECALL BULLETIN STATES THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD OR REGISTERED IN THESE STATES, VOLVO SHOULD NOT INTERPRET THIS TO MEAN WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASE ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE ON THE DATE OF THE RECALL THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA A STATE AUTHORIZED BY THE RECALL TO RECEIVE A MANDATORY REPLACEMENT} SHOULD I AWAIT A FIRE TO ERUPT BEFORE ESCALATING THIS MATTER TO GET REPAIRS UNDER THIS RECALL? *TR
