2002 VOLVO S60 Electrical System Problems

SERVICE LIGHTS SCROLL IN SPORADIC MOTION FLIPPING THROUGH CONSTANT ALERTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT, CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS GOING ON, FUEL DOOR WONT OPEN, BOTH FRONT SEATS HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, OBVIOUS BURN THRU ON PASSENGER SIDE INDICATES ITS BEEN OVERHEATED AND DANGEROUS. EVERYTIME I'VE TAKEN IT IN THE SHOP THEY SAY THERE ARE NO RECALLS - YET PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS OVER FIRES WITH SEATS. CAN'T USED HEATED SEATS AT ALL. ENGINE SEEMS TO REMAIN INCONSISTENT IN SPEED, DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO COMPLETELY OUT AND THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AFFECT BACK BRAKE LIGHTS. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES BOUNCE IN CYCLES TO WHERE NO ONE CAN DETECT THE PROBLEMS. CHECK ENGINE LINE CONTINUES TO HAVE TO BE RESET AND SERVICE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY SEND SCROLLED WARNING TO PULL OVER. ALREADY HAD VEHICLE TOWED AND CAN'T TRUST VEHICLE WILL START. ALWAYS A WIRING ISSUE INVOLVED. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW AGAIN. 3/16/18 (SAME ISSUES)

THE DRIVER'S CONTROL DOOR MODULE (DDM) HAS FAILED (VERY COMMON ON THE S60). THIS MODULE CONTROLS THE WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, REAR-VIEW MIRRORS, AND CHILD-SAFETY LOCKS ON THE REAR DOORS. NOW, BOTH REAR DOORS ARE PERMANENTLY LOCKED, AND CAN ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A NEW REPLACEMENT UNIT FROM VOLVO WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE, BUT VOLVO DEALERS CHARGE ABOUT $800. A USED DDM WILL NOT WORK, DUE TO THE SOFTWARE ADDRESSING SCHEME USED BY VOLVO.

"TAKATA RECALL" I JUST GOT MY 2002 VOLVO S60 AS A GIFT AND WAS TOLD THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PROBLEMS THAT IT CONSISTS OF BECAUSE OF ALL THE RECALLS ON IT PLEASE HELP ME I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE TO TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS AND TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I HAVEN'T HAD THE NAME SWITCHED OVER TO MY NAME YET MY NAME IS [XXX] PHONE NUMBER [XXX] THANK YOU SO MUCH INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GAUGES, METERS, AND LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS LEAKING. THE CONTACT ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT DISPLAY THE VEHICLE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

VEHICLE GAUGES TEND TO ALL GO OFF AND ALL DIALS GO DOWN AS IF VEHICLE ISN'T ON. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG VOLVOS AND THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED. I WAS DRIVING AT LEAST 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED TO ME. *JS

THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE PANEL LIGHTS COME ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. HAD TO REPLACE THE OCM SENSOR AND THE ECM SENSOR MCKIVITT VOLVO IN SAN LEANDRO ([XXX]) SERVICE MGR. HAS NEVER MENTION ANY TYPE OF RECALLS TO THE CAR. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTION AT MY COST. HAD TO GET A SMOG IN AUG 2013, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON NOT ALLOWING ME TO SMOG WITH OUT REPAIRS TO OXYGEN SENSORS, DURING THIS VISIT MY CONTROL ARMS WERE NOTICEABLY BROKEN, THEY SAID NOTHING. I FOUND OUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK AFTER THEM CHANGING THE OXYGEN SENSORS TO PASS SMOG AND I GOT THE SMOG AND A OIL CHANGE THEY NOTIFIED ME, I HAD THEM REPLACED BY A CHEAPER MECH IN APRIL 2014 @ 75,000 MILES. NOW IT'S AUGUST 2014 AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN VERY STEEP HILL@ 45MPH AND THE...

WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK, POWER TO THE ELECTRONICS LISTED BELOW WERE LOST INEVITABLY AND MANY WARNING LIGHTS/MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DASH (ALSO LISTED BELOW UNDER SYMPTOMS). THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN NOR IS THERE ANY EXPLANATION FOR WHY IT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD AND I LOST COMPLETE VISION OF THE ROAD DUE TO HEADLIGHT FAILURE (BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAMS). THIS SCENARIO IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH MANY OTHER SIMILAR VOLVO YEARS AND MODELS. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID CRASHING AND CALL SOMEONE TO PICK ME UP. ALL SYMPTOMS FROM THIS "BLACKOUT" DID NOT AND HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED SINCE IT HAPPENED, MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. THESE SYMPTOMS ARE SUSPECT TO BE THE RESULT OF A CEM FAILURE, WHICH ALSO CONTROLS EMISSIONS. AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, THIS EXACT SCENARIO HAS CAUSED THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR VOLVO...

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS FULL BATTERY POWER AND THE COMPUTER STATED IT WAS THE IMMOBILIZER CHECK MANUAL. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE AND CAR SAT OVERNIGHT.THE VOLVO S60 RESTARTED IN THE MORNING. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR A DAY AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ANTENNA RING OR KEY CHIP MIGHT BE BAD. THE ANTENNA RING WAS CHANGED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START A WEEK LATER AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER SHIP AND PLACED ON SCANNER. THE CAR FUNCTION NORMALLY FOR TWO WEEKS AND DID NOT START AGAIN. SEVERAL BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MATTER HAVE BEEN SET UP WITHOUT ANY ANSWERS FOR THE CONSUMER. THE DEALERSHIPS SCANNED THE VEHICLE AND CHANGED PARTS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IN MY CASE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT DID SHOW A PROBLEM. YET THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. CONSUMERS ARE BEING STRANDED OR IN MY CASE...

THERE WERE FOUR OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME FROM THE MALL, WE NOTICED A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE LIGHTS AND RADIO. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT CRANKED BACK UP IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY TWO MORE MILES AND PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. WE HEARD A SOUND LIKE AN ALARM, BUT IT WAS SO FAINT; BEFORE WE HAD TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT FURTHER, THE CAB BEGAN TO FILL WITH BLACKISH GREY SMOKE INTO THE BACKSEAT AREA. WE ALL GOT OUT QUICKLY AND WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE CAR. I NOTICED FLAMES BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT (WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED) AND TOLD MY HUSBAND. HE OPENED THE TRUNK (BURNING HIS FINGERTIPS),...

PURCHASED USED S60 IN NOVEMBER 2011 WITH 137,000 MILES. A FEW WEEKS LATER VARIOUS PROBLEMS MANIFESTED: SCRAMBLED LETTERS IN DASHBOARD MESSAGE, DRIVER DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY WORKED, RADIO SELF TUNED TO DIFFERENT STATION, SPEEDOMETER GIVING FALSE READINGS OR STUCK AT CURRENT SPEED OR READING ZERO, FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION, ALL INSTRUMENTS ON PANEL FLICKERED, ALL INSTRUMENTS WENT "DARK" WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST RESTARTING CAR WOULD CLEAR PROBLEM. THEN FREQUENCY BETWEEN FAILURES INCREASED. JUST BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE - CAR NEEDED TO BE "COLD" FOR INSTRUMENTS TO WORK - WITH INSTRUMENTS FAILING ONCE ENGINE WARMED. FINALLY IN FEBRUARY 2012 AT ABOUT 147,021 MILES THE PANEL COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING - GIVING DRIVER NO READINGS (SPEED, FUEL, TEMP, MILEAGE, OR WARNING INDICATORS) AND WOULD NOT RESET. INTERNET FORUMS OF VOLVO OWNERS SUGGESTED IT WAS A DRIVER INFORMATION MODULE FAILURE. OWNERS FORUMS PINPOINTED 3 PROBABLE CAUSES OF A DIM FAILURE - 1. LOOSE CONNECTION OF THE...

ELECTRICAL PANEL FAILS (GAS GAUGE SAYS EMPTY), PASSENGER AND REAR DOOR LOCKS, FUEL DOOR, AND TRUNK OPENING ALSO FAILS. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS UNLESS PULLING THE DOOR LOCK UP MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE CAR SO THEREFORE CAN'T GET TO CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT WITHOUT CRAWLING THROUGH THE FRONT SEAT AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THEIR DOOR. HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR BECAUSE GAS GAUGE FAILS AND CANNOT GET FUEL DOOR TO OPEN CONSITENTLY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO REFUEL. CAR ALARM WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND COULD NOT OPEN THE CAR DOORS TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THEREFORE BATTERY DRAINED. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. A CHILD COULD GET TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE OR SOMEONE COULD GET INTO THE CAR FOR FEAR OF LOCKING DOORS AND NOT...

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (KNOWN AS DRIVER INFORMATION MODULE) COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING. CHECKED VOLVO FORUMS ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. REPLACEMENT IS THE ONLY OPTION. $1500. MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING WITHOUT KNOWING THEIR SPEED OR FUEL LEVEL. ME INCLUDED. CAN'T AFFORD $1500 REPAIR BILL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

VOLVOS-60 24T TOOK CAR TO DEALER BILL GRAY VOLVO FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH AIR BAG PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM INOPERABLE AND DEALER REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM OR TO EVEN ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAME. *TR

VIN: [XXX]. WHILE STARTING THE CAR THE LAST WEEK THE "ENGINE CHECK AND SERVICE ENGINE " WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. I HAD IT CHECKED AND FOUND OUT THE ETM (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE) IS FAULTY. CALLED VOLVO USA AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY TOLD ME MY CAR, WHICH IS A TURBO, IS NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL. IF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS COMMON TO 360,000 VOLVOS AND WARRANTY EXTENDED TO 200,00 MILES OR 10 YEARS WHY THEN ARE THEY (VOLVO) REFUSING TO FIX MY ETM PROBLEM. SINCE MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ETM MALFUNCTION, PRIOR TO THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR BE PART OF THE VOLVO RECALL BEFORE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCE HAPPENS. SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WITH THE PROBLEM. THE WARNING LIGHT "ENGINE CHECKS AND SERVICE ENGINE" CONTINUE TO LIT UP UNINTERRUPTED WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. *TR

ON A 2002 VOLVO S60, THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION MODULE INTERMITTENTLY BLANKS OUT RENDERING THE VEHICLE WITH NO SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER (AND WHOLE MODULE) MIGHT NOT WORK FOR DAYS. *LN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO LIMP HOME MODE. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE 5 MPH. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT; IT PERFORMED CORRECTLY AFTER THE RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES WHERE THE SOFTWARE AS UPDATE AND THE THROTTLE MODULAR AND MASS AIR FLOWS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED RECALL 06V441000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL) WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED WHEN IT SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD ONLY BLOW OUTSIDE AIR INTO THE VEHICLE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE COMPRESSOR AND RECEIVER DRYER WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 170,000. UPDATED 11/16/10. *LJ UPDATED 5/24/11 *CN

ON A CAR THAT IS DRIVEN 7,500 MILES PER YEAR, I JUST SPENT $1,068 TO REPLACE AN ALTERNATOR AND $157.18 FOR A NEW BATTERY BECAUSE VOLVO REFUSED TO HAVE A RECALL OR COVER THEIR KNOWN FAILING ALTERNATORS. THIS CAUSE MY CAR TO FAIL ON THE 101 FREEWAY AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC ON MILBRAE AVENUE. *TR

SEP 29,2006 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AS SHE WAS MAKING A TURN. SHE ALSO NOTED THE SIGNAL LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WERE ACTING ERRATICALLY. COME MONDAY WE ARE SCHEDULING A VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THE REASON BEING SUPPOSE SHE HAD BEEN IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2002 VOLVO S60 1/21/06 AT 1:30PM WITH 58542 MILES ON IT AND 62 MILES LATER AT 6:54PM WE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NOT RESPONDING, THE ENGINE ACCELERATING WILDLY AND THEN NO CONTROL OVER THE ENGINE AS IT HAS GONE INTO A LIMP MODE. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR 10 MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR UP AND IT DROVE NORMALLY SO WE COULD GET HOME. UPON GETTING HOME AND SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED AGAIN AND THE COMPUTER DISPALYED NO CODES WHEN PLUGGED INTO DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN 1/22/06 AND WE CALLED THE USED CAR DEALER TO HAVE THEM PICK THE CAR UP AND THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THEIR GARAGE AND I WAS INFORMED 1/23/06 THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN THE COMPUTER AND THE CAR IS RUNNING FINE RIGHT NOW. I INFORMED THEM OF THE ETM WARRANTY WHICH SHOULD...

MY 2002 VOLVO S60 STALLED ABOUT 3 TIMES IN THE PERIOD OF A FEW MONTHS DURING THE SPRING OF 2005. IT OCCURRED ONLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I TOOK IT INTO THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN ALL KINDS OF TESTS, BUT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY REPLACED THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR ANYWAY ON MAY 10, 2005 AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY - UNTIL OCT 6. IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. ON OCTOBER 19, SIX DRIVING DAYS LATER (I TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN A LOT FOR MY JOB), IT STALLED AGAIN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, BUT NOT FOR A 2002 MODEL. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY PROBLEM AS WELL. *JB

THOUGHT YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN MY VOLVO S60 STORY ... MY VOLVO DEALER RETURNED MY S60 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE LEASE WAS UP BECAUSE OF A RECURRING PROBLEM WHERE MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THEN IT WOULD STOP COMPLETELY. I LOST COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED BUT WHEN MY 19 YEAR OLD HAD THIS HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWNTOWN AREA I COULD NOT LIVE WITH THIS CAR ANY LONGER. THE DEALER TRIED TO FIX THE VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL. *NM

CAR STALLS ON DECELERATION. *JB

RECENTLY PURCHASED 2002 VOLVO S60 FOR MY DAUGHTER, CERTIFIED USED. SHE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING, IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. JUST READ YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT 1999-2001 AND THOUGHT YOU SHOULD CHECK INTO ALL YEARS. VOLVO SAID IT IS FIXED, WE PICK IT UP TOMORROW, HOWEVER I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO HER AGAIN. PURCHASED A VOLVO FOR SAFETY, NOW I AM VERY WORRIED. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SPIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED TOO FAR IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS A LACK OF STABILITY IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. *AK THE CONTROL ARM BUSHING WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL,THE CONSOLE HAD FAILED, THE LOCKS HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE, GRINDING NOISES WOULD OCCUR ON SHARP TURNS, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE TRACTION. *SCC *JB

1) DRIVER'S SEAT SHIFTS REARWARD ON ACCELERATION AND SHIFTS FORWARD ON BRAKING. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM 3 OR MORE TIMES, BUT IT RE-PPEARS SHORTLY AFTER REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.*AK 2) VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). GEAR CHANGES ARE VERY 'JERKY', THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SHIFTED SMOOTHLY. VOLVO RECOMMENDS LETTING THE CLUTCH SLIP MORE, BUT THIS ONLY MASKS THE PROBLEM. 3) VOLVO ACKNOWLEDGES AN ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

2002 VOLVO S60 SUDDENLY STOPPED ON A BUSY TWO-LANE HIGHWAY/COMPLETE ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM FAILURE/UNABLE TO RE-START CAR/CAR TOWED TO DEALER/DEALER ABLE TO RESTART CAR AFTER CAR SAT UNTOUCHED ON LOT FOR SEVERAL DAYS/TWO DIFFERENT VOLVO DEALERSHIPS LOOKED AT CAR AND WERE UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY FAILURE OCCURRED/(CAR ALSO HAD TO HAVE BRAKE SENSOR PAD REPLACED BECAUSE OF INTERMITANT CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE AND SHIFTING COLUMN LOCK UP; STILL EXPERIENCE POOR AM RADIO RECEPTION WHILE RECHARGING CELL PHONE)
