2004 Volvo S60 Vehicle speed control Problems

“While driving 70 MPH, car lost acceleration and stalled without warning. If I would have been rear ended going at this speed I could have lost my life. Check engine light came on and all codes are associated with the 181 recall. Called Volvo and Volvo stated that this VIN number was not part of the recall yet I am experiencing the same exact problem and have the same exact engine codes when running a diagnostics test associated with this recall.”

“Loss acceleration in the vehicle on the highway at 60 MPH. The car would not speed up and continue to slow down but never came to a full stop. I was not able to go pass 40 MPH in the car and acceleration was slow. First time it happen, the dealer said throttle body and oil collection system needed to be replaced. I replaced both. It happens again, took it to a different person, the mechanic said fuel control needed to be replaced. I replaced that. It happen the third time and took it to dealer and he informed me the spark plugs. I replaced that. Now, the problem is still happening.”

“On 1/6/07 I was traveling via interstate when the 2004 Volvo s60t experienced what was displayed on the screen as reduced engine performance, and quickly slowed to about 40 MPH. I was very nearly rear-ended as I was in the fast lane in the process of passing a slower vehicle. I proceeded to the nearest exit and coasted into a gas station. I turned off the car and tried to restarted it. However, it made a loud noise, shook, and then failed to crank. It was towed to the nearest Volvo dealership, where they informed me it was a faulty throttle body (etm). …”

“Check engine light came on and car lost power while driving at highway speeds. It would not accelerate and displayed the message reduced engine performance . Dealer indicated it was a cracked intercooler hose and that caused the issue. It was replace and after about two months the same symptoms happened. It was then diagnosed as a bad electronic throttle body. That was replaced and the same symptoms happened within two months again. The car now does not accelerate more than 10 MPH. The next diagnosis was to replace the complete engine wiring harness. …”

“- while parking the 2004 Volvo S60 in the driveway the vehicle suddenly lurched forward, causing the front wheels to go over a cement block, hitting the house lightly. Smoke started coming from the engine, and the service engine light illuminated on the dashboard. The contact had the vehicle towed to a body shop since there was some slight damage in the front of the vehicle. Contact could provide pictures if needed. The current and failure mileage were both 26800.”
