2004 VOLVO S80 Engine Problems

CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING AND EVENTUALLY OVERHEATED AND RUINED ENGINE LATER MECHANIC DISCOVERED THERMOSTAT WASNT WORKING PROPERLY SO NO INDICATION AS TO VEHICLE TEMPURATURE. CAR WAS ON FREEWAY AND STOPPED COMING OFF FREEWAY. HEAD GASKET BLEW ALSO AS WELL AS BAD TRANSMISSION

VEHICLE HAS BEEN HESITANT, SPUTTERING AND SURGING WHEN STOPPED OR INCREASING SPEED. WHEN STOPPED THE VEHICLE SURGES AND MOVES. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, AS WE CAN HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. THE ETM HAS BEEN CLEANED BY COLLINS AUTO IN SC. THEY TOLD US THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITH A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THERE IS BUILD UP IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THIS IS DUE TO THE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL (7500 MILES) WHICH IS RECOMMENDED BY VOLVO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A PART DEFECT WHICH VOLVO SHOULD FIX AND REPLACE AT THEIR COST. *TR

BROKEN KEY CAN CAUSE VEHICLE KEY SWITCH TO TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE FOLLOWING IS MY INTERACTION WITH VOLVO, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM SINCE MARCH. ADVISE HOW AND I WILL SEND YOU A PICTURE OF THIS CONDITION. CUSTOMERCARE WEB FORM - 3/19/2014 7:08 PM RESPONSE BY EMAIL ([XXX]) (03/20/2014 09:09 AM) DEAR DICK, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EMAIL.
