1995 VOLVO 940 TURBO ODOMETER SUDDENLY BECAME INOPERATIVE. PROCEEDING THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES IS PRIMARY SAFETY ISSUE. INTERNET INVESTIGATION SHOWS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE. COULD NOT MAKE CONTACT AT THEIR WEB SITE TO ALERT THEM. MAYBE YOU HAVE GREATER ACCESS. ODOMETER APPEARS TO BE MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEVICE. COULD NOT DETERMINE REPAIR OR ITS COST. IS THIS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE? AL *TR

GASOLINE FUMES IN MY GARAGE, NO APPARENT EVIDENCE OF GAS LEAK IN CAR. THIS IS A 1995 VOLVO SEDAN 940 WITH 80000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT WAS NEW. NEXT DAY FUMES GREW STRONGER, WE THOUGHT IT WAS FROM LAWN MOWER GAS. ON THE 3RD DAY THE GAS WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED AT A COST OF $600+. THE GAS TANK ON THE CAR HAD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, JUST FAILED. *AK

DT: 18 INCH RIM AND TIRES. TIRE CITY RECOMMENDED 18 INCH SACCHI RIMS AND TIRES FOR VEHICLE. CONSUMER ORDERED THE RIMS AND TIRES AND DID NOT GET TO SEE THEM. CALLED THE MECHANIC, AND HE ADVISED THE CONSUMER NOT TO GET THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SAFE FOR THIS VEHICLE , THEY WERE TOO LARGE. CALLED TO CANCEL THE ORDER, AND THEY WOULD NOT CANCEL THE ORDER BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WERE SPECIALLY ORDERED. CONSUMER PAID FOR THE RIMS AND TIRES. TIRE CITY TOLD THE CONSUMER HE HAD TO TAKE THE RIMS AND TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY ORDERED. AFTER TIRE CITY RECEIVED THE RIMS AND TIRES THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO PUT THEM ON VEHICLE, BUT THEY DID NOT TOUCH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. THEY GAVE HIM A FREE ALARM FOR INCONVENIENCE. THEY TOLD THE CONSUMER HAD TO ORDER FOUR SPACERS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THEM TO HIM AT HALF PRICE. THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES WOULD BE BALANCED, AND THE SPACERS WOULD BE ON, AND VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE. THEY SAID NOT TELL THE MANAGER. EVERY TIME CONSUMER WAS IN TIRE CITY HE OBSERVED THAT CUSTOMERS WERE UPSET WITH THE WAY THEY DID BUSINESS. THEY SAID OTHER TIRE SHOPS LET CUSTOMERS GO WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THEIR CARS WERE SAFE. THEY PROMISED TO MAKE CONSUMER'S CAR SAFE, BUT THEY DID NOT. THEY LET HIM LEAVE WITH RIMS AND TIRES THAT WERE TOO LARGE FOR THE CAR. THE MECHANICS SAW THE PROBLEM WITH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. BOTH MECHANICS STATED NOT TO GET THE 18 INCH RIMS AND TIRES. *AK .

I OWN A 1995 VOLVO 940 TURBO WAGON. IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, WE HAVE HAD RANDOM INCIDENTS OF THE CAR LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT RANGES - ANYTHING FROM 35 TO 70. THERE IS NO INDICATION, SOUND OR VIBRATION TO INDICATE IT IS ABOUT TO CUT OFF. IF THE CAR SITS FOR 10-15 MINUTES FOLLOWING THE "CUT OFF", IT WILL CRANK WITH NO PROBLEM. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO CRANK THE CAR AS SOON AS IT DIES, IT'S AS IF YOU'VE FLOODED THE MOTOR. WHEN THIS STARTED, IT WAS VERY RANDOM AND VERY RARE. WE WERE TOLD TO CLEAN OR REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER, WHICH WE DID, AND WE WERE FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENED AT A TIME THAT I WAS NO LONGER DRIVING THE CAR AS MUCH AS I WAS OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER. IN THE PAST WEEK, THE CAR HAS "QUIT" ON 3 OCCASIONS, ONCE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ONCE WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY, AND ONCE WHILE TRAVELING 50+ MPH ON A HIGHWAY. WE SAW ON THE NEWS A REPORT THAT NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING IN OTHER VOLVOS, BUT ONLY 1999 AND FORWARD MODELS. IN TALKING WITH OTHER VOLVO OWNERS IN AUTO CHAT ROOMS, BULLETIN BOARDS, ETC., WE HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AS IT SEEMS THE CONSENSUS THAT OTHERS HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN ATTEMPTING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL VOLVO DEALER - MAXWELL VOLVO OF BURLINGTON, (336-227-2727), BUT WERE INFORMED THAT THEY KNEW NOTHING OF AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM AND HAD NOT SERVICED ANY VEHICLES FOR IT EITHER. WE WERE HOPING THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION WOULD DISCOVER THE PROBLEM AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED TO AVOID ANY UNNECESSARY REPAIRS AND COSTS. MY QUESTION IS: IF THERE IS A RECALL, WILL IT ONLY INCLUDE 1999 AND FORWARD? AND, IF A RECALL IS ANNOUNCED THAT WILL INCLUDE OUR 1995 MODEL, DO WE NEED TO BE ON SOME "RECORD" WITH A VOLVO DEALER AS HAVING REPORTED THIS PROBLEM OR THAT AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO FIX IT? NOTE: THE INCIDENT DATE ON THIS REPORT IS THE "LAST TIME" THIS HAPPENED. *NM
