NHTSA Complaint #11325270 — 2012 VOLVO S60

THERE WAS ONE INCIDENT THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD STALL FOR A BIT AND WHEN I TRIED TO MAINTAIN THE SAME SPEED I WAS GOING AT, I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE SPEED WOULD NOT CHANGE, IT CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT MY CAR ON PARK. THIS WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO CHECK THE RPM, TO SEE IF THE GAS WAS WORKING. THE RPM WOULD GO UP EVERY TIME I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. FROM THERE, I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND ON, AND TRIED TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. I MANAGED TO GET HOME FROM WORK DRIVING ON THE LEFT LANE AND AT A SLOW SPEED. THAT IS WHEN I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE MECHANIC HAD FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY FUEL PUMP, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE, I HAD FOUND OUT THAT THE NHTSA HAD REPORTED A RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR (HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2011/RCDNN-11V303-8835.PDF). I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF MY CAR FELL UNDER THE RECALL PERIOD LISTED ON THE WEBSITE, AND IT HAD REPORTED ONLY A DOOR LATCH ISSUE AND NOT THE FUEL PUMP. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP, MORE SPECIFICALLY, DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE TIME PERIOD FOR ISSUE STATED UNDER THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED EVEN FURTHER. *TR
