Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OUR 2004 VOLVO V70 WAGON CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE THEN MADE NOTICEABLE HESITATIONS BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE DRIVABLE. AFTER GETTING TO ATLANTA AND TAKING THE CAR TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP, THE FAULT CODE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL SENSOR. INTERESTINGLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2004 VOLVO V70 RECALL #07V226000 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED VOLVO AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED AS THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY FOR VIN'S 286155 - 404037. VOLVO DECLINED TO COVER THE PROBLEM. THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES THAT THE FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN MY OPINION. IN OUR CASE WE ARE LUCKILY THE PROBLEM DID NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ON THE 2004 V70 VOLVO'S AFTER THE VIN RANGE AS THE PROBLEM APPEARS NOT TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED ON ALL VEHICLES EXHIBITING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR
