2007 Volvo S60 Complaints

DRIVING CAR AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET ON. CAR DECELERATED AND DOWN SHIFTED THROUGH EACH GEAR AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES. THERE WAS ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE SAME PARAMETERS BUT THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ITS OWN AND WHEN SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL THE ENGINE RAN TO REDLINE. PULLED THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WENT IMMEDIATELY TO REDLINE. AFTER THAT THE CAR RAN FINE FOR 2 DAYS THEN THE DECELERATION ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

I PULLED OUT FROM A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN STREET WHILE IT WAS RAINING. I THOUGHT THERE WAS ENOUGH OF A BREAK IN TRAFFIC TO SAFELY PULL OUT, BUT WHEN APPLYING THE THROTTLE WITH THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED, THE WHEELS SPUN FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE I LIFTED OFF THE THROTTLE. BECAUSE MY CAR HAD PARTIALLY ENTERED THE LANE WITH NO ROOM TO BACK UP DUE TO A VEHICLE BEHIND, THE ONCOMING VEHICLE HAD TO SWERVE AROUND MY CAR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND MENTIONED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL DID NOT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. THIS WAS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL (ABOUT 8,000 MILES PRIOR, MY CAR COULD NOT GAIN TRACTION WHILE CLIMBING A WET PARKING GARAGE RAMP). THE TECHNICIAN FOUND A FAULTY BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THE FAULTY SENSOR CAUSED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL TO BE OFF-LINE SINCE. I AM WONDERING WHY MY CAR DID NOT ISSUE ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT THESE TWO SAFE...

2007 VOLVO S60: WHEN IN DRIVE, VEHICLE WOULD ROLL ON AN INCLINE. WOULD HAVE TO KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE, SLIGHT PRESSURE ON GAS OR PUT IN PARK. WHEN TOLD ABOVE, CUST STATES VEH ROLLS BACK ON AN INCLINE WHEN IN DRIVE ROAD: TEST CK TRANSMISSION--PERFORMING TO FACTORY SPECS, TRANSMISSION IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOCK AT IDLE, ROLLBACK IS NORMAL. *TR

ON OCCASION, I WILL LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE AND STOPPING STRENGTH/ABILITY WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON A SLIGHT UPHILL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP. I CAN LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY IT AND THE FULL PEDAL FEEL AND STOPPING POWER WILL RETURN. THERE ARE CERTAIN LOCATIONS THAT I CAN, AT WILL, REPRODUCE THIS OCCURRENCE, AND THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO DRIVE INTO AN INTERSECTION AGAINST OPPOSING TRAFFIC. *TR
