WHILE STOPPING OR TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS THE CARS IDLE SPEED WILL FLUCTUATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP UP TO 1100 RPMS. MOST OF THE TIME BETWEEN 500 & 1100 RPMS ! WHEN THE CAR STOPS RUNNING WHILE I AM TRYING TO TURN A CORNER , THE POWER STEERING OF COARSE DOES NOT WORK AND ITS HARD TO STEER IT. I DID TAKE IT TO A VOLVO DEALER, & THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE SENSOR & COMPUTER SOFTWARE CHANGE, & IT WOULD COST ME $2400. I CAN'T FIND OUT IF ANY OF THE RECALLS HAVE EVER BEEN DONE #R155, R146, NHTSA I.D. #626114 & I.D. #10018801. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS & DID NOT RECEIVE AND RECALLS NOTICES. MOST OF THE TIME THE CAR RUNS FINE, I HAVE DRIVEN IT OVER 40,000 MILES NOW WITH THE CHECK ENG. LIGHT ON & OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 VOLVO S80. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT HAD OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A BANG AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH AND BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT AND QUICKLY FIRE SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR WINDOW BLEW OUT. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE STREET. I HAD TO THROW MYSELF OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS INFLAMED AND EXPLODED. *TR
