“Takata recall frist I called Volvo to inquire about recalls referening to the cooling system and the fuel pump the first lady I spoke with informed me this problem was under recalls and to take my car to get it serviced at the nearest dealer after taking my car to the dealer at 7:15am 4hours later after I called them first they now are saying that there isn't anything they can do with my car and they do not know who told me that false information. …”

“I own a 2001 Volvo s 80. It died on the highway in the middle of busy rush hour traffic. Had it towed to Volvo and repaired. Need a new throttle body and mass air flow sensor. Very expensive repair and was told off the record that this part failure has been much more common than it should be. I am notifying you so that you will look into manner. Seems this should be a recall item. Thank you.”

“I was driving my 2001 Volvo S80 2.9l and was about to make a left turn at a four way intersection. When the traffic flow was clear I pressed the accelerator but the car died. Thankfully, I was not struck by the oncomming vehicle. I took the car to Volvo of richardson in richardson texas and was told it needed a mass air sensor and electronic throttle body. The factory warranty will not cover the part since it has lapsed.”

“1.my wife has a 2001 Volvo S80 t6. The car just died on her at 65 MPH on a major freeway. She was lucky to get it on the shoulder and was stranded. 2. The failure as stated by Volvo is the throtte module. 3. Doing research I have found that this is major failure on Volvo and Volvo continues to deny the problem. There is alott of supporting articles and several class action law suits in the works. The dealer states it will cost $907.00 to fix. Still not fixed!!!!”

“Week of 10/10/05 as traveling uphill, my car sputtered and loss power. After nearly being rear ended on the busy road, I was able to limb my car into a parking lot and turn off the engine. After a few minutes, I was able to restart my car and continue driving. Today, 10/18/05, as I was entering I-85, my car once again sputtered and stalled. The entrance ramp was downhill, so I was able to coast into the emergency lane as tractor trailers and cars whizzed by me. I restarted the car after a few minutes of being turned off. …”
