2002 Volvo S60 Engine cooling Problems

“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.”

“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. …”

“I have had many problems with the transmission, car will stall in traffic, car would not start at all. This car has been in service many many times. The problems persist. I have sent 9 emails to their head quarters since 12/5, no reply.”

“I was driving on the freeway and without warning the engine lost power and the check engine light came on. I coasted off to the shoulder and the engine would only idle, and even that was rough. The message indicator on the dash said something like reduced engine performance . I had the car towed to gengras Volvo in meriden. They replaced the etm , software and throttle body at the cost of $1195.43. About two weeks later, I was driving on the freeway and the same thing happened. This time the dealership said the electrical connections to the etm must be bad and replaced same at no cost to me. …”

“Engine is idling very low. Has died on major thoroughfares 3 times in past 2 weeks. Did restart. Taking it in in 2 days (earliest appointment was a week from when I called the dealership).”
