2005 Volvo S60 Fuel system Problems

“Twice now over a ten day period first when reducing speed to a stop or then again at a speed of less than 5 MPH, the car died...first the engine died then all else died. The car went dead. I still had my steering and slowly rolled to the curbed then as I gently put on the brakes the car jerked to a halt. During the second incident the car still jerked after I had stopped. A loud sound of a fan from the engine could be heard. The fan stopped after 10 to 15 seconds. After a minute I restarted the car and made it home both times.”

“08/02/2005 2005 Volvo s 60 I was returning from vacation (we had been driving appr. 1 hr & 30 min) and my car suddenly, with no warning, stalled and lost all power. We coasted to a side street and tried to start the engine...nothing happened. We were towed to the nearest dealership where the fuel pump module was replaced. This past weekend (approximately one month since the last incidence) we were at an intersection and again the car completely stalled and lost power with no warning. The car was towed to a local dealership and the fuel pump was replaced.”

“The car had difficulty in starting all of a sudden. It appeared to be an electronic ignition problem. After a few starts, warning signals started coming on. First was engine under performance and then it was break failure . The car was stopped and towed to Volvo dealer. The dealer indicated that the car's fuel pump / lines were designed and installed outside the weather shielded housing. The salt used for snow melting corrodes these lines and several cars show up with this issue.so they replaced them and moved them to within the weather protected area. …”

“Vehicle has stalled without any warning several times while traveling at highway speeds (60 MPH). First incident occurred during the summer of 2011 at 105,000 miles. A second, similar incident occurred in the fall of 2011 at 108,000 miles. Auto scandia in herndon, va, replaced mass air flow meter in an attempt to address the problem. The vehicle performed well for several months without incident. Unfortunately it stalled again in march 2012. This was also without any warning while traveling at highway speeds (60 MPH). The unusual highway breakdown was very dangerous.”

“Without warning or other problems, the car's engine suddenly lost power at about 55 MPH on the highway, message of reduced engine performance came on. Although the car remained turned on, pressing on the gas pedal had little to no effect on either the movement of the car or the RPM's. Once the car was stopped but was still turned on, it maintained a strong pulsing action and sound from the engine. When put into drive and reverse gears, the car moved in limp mode at approximately 2 MPH regardless of how much pressure was placed on the gas pedal. The car was towed to the dealership. …”
