2005 VOLVO S60 Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

ANGLE/COLLAR GEAR/SLEEVE, HALDEX AWD. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AWD VOLVOS HAVE THIS ISSUE YET VOLVO HAS NEVER TAKEN ACTION OR RECALLED PART. THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY ISSUES THOUSANDS OF VOLVO'S HAVE. BUT THE AWD SYSTEM NON FUNCTIONING DUE TO STRIPPED TEETH CAUSED BY RUST BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE GREASE/LUBE ETC. ON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES RANGING FROM THEIR SMALL SEDANS TO SUV'S SHOULD BE SOMETHING. THEY HAVE EVEN UPDATED THE ANGLE GEAR/COLLAR SLEEVE WITH ONE THAT HAS "HARDENED" TEETH, BUT NO RECALL ON A PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO ALWAYS FUNCTION. A LOT WERE LUCKY ENOUGH IT HAPPENED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. BUT GETTING STUCK/STRANDED IN SNOW BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN ITS SUPPOSE TO BE AWD. I DID NOT FIND OUT MY AWD DID NOT WORK UNTIL I HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN THE SNOW. TURNS OUT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE...

INTERMITTENT ABS/ANTI SKID LIGHT. MY BRAKES ALSO SEEMED AFFECTED, PARTICULARLY THE STOPPING DISTANCE. AFTER THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 6 TIMES, I ASKED A SERVICE TECH AT MY LOCAL DEALER TO FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED BRAKES LOCKING. AFTER SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND MANY OWNERS OF VOLVOS HAVE SUFFERED FROM THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE ABS MODULE IS KNOWN FOR CAUSING STRANGE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONS MOSTLY DUE TO COLD SOLDER JOINTS. MY CAR IN PARTICULAR IS AN '05 S60 2.4 M WITH 118K MILEAGE. AT WHAT POINT SHOULD A RECALL BE PLACED ON THESE UNITS? AN INTEGRAL PART OF AN ABS SYSTEM SEEM TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, DOES IT NOT? *TR
