2015 VOLVO S60 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

I bought the car as a CPO on 9/25/19 32,860 mi. On 8/19/20 at 50,052 the engine failed. The oscillating dampener rubber separated causing serpentine belt to break, which in turn got caught in timing belt which caused that to break which then caused bent valves and valves to break. The failure was sudden. Had I been on the interstate I’d be severely injured or dead. I was told that I needed a new engine but they could not find one. I was told they would completely re-build my engine. In the end they replaced the cylinder head and starter under warranty. I was never told they didn’t re-build the engine and also used “ good parts” from the old engine. In the following months I had the car in the Volvo shop (Hendricks Volvo Charleston, SC). At 50,277 miles the check engine light showed a problem with the Cam...

Excessive Oil Consumption resulting in piston damage/failure! This vehicle has burned oil since I bought it used at about 80,000 miles. I checked the carfax prior to purchasing it and it had been maintained routinely. I have to add a liter of oil every couple of weeks. This is with regular in town driving. I have reported the issue numerous times to the Volvo dealer when I bring it in for regular maintenance and repairs. I have been told by the Volvo service advisor to just add oil. It was a known issue. Sometimes I have warning lights telling me it has low oil. I also check the oil level to know to add oil. I always check my oil level before any trip. I always keep oil in my car because of this issue. Otherwise, I have had to stop and buy oil once on a trip. Since it...

THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL SENSOR ON THESE VEHICLES IS KNOWN BY MANUFACTURER TO FAIL. THIS FAILURE CAN CAUSE HARD START CONDITIONS, TAKING OVER 5 SECONDS AT TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. THE MAIN DANGER OF THIS COMES FROM THE FACT THIS IS A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AUTO STOP/START TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED NEAR MISSES DUE TO COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN TAKING OVER 5 SECONDS ON OCCASION FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. ON VEHICLES WITH WORN FUEL PUMPS THIS ISSUE COULD MANIFEST AS LOSS OF POWER UNDER HEAVY ENGINE LOAD, SUCH AS CLIMBING A HILL OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE FAILURE MODE IS OPEN CIRCUIT, MEANING AT SOME POINT PRIOR TO FAILURE THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF HIGH RESISTANCE WHICH ON A FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT COULD LEAD TO EXCESSIVE HEAT AND FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS...
