ACCELERATING ON INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN COMPLETY LOST ENGINE POWER. ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO A WRECK IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. ENDED UP GETTING TOWED AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE UNIT WHICH COST ALMOST $1000, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH A VERY BAD OUTCOME IF TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER.

I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICE EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES HAVE THE CORRECT PRESSURE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS SAFETY RELATED SYSTEM. IT IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY VOLVO OWNERS HAVE REPORTED, YET VOLVO CONTINUALLY FAILS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

2009 VOLVO S60 AWD - WHEN FILLING WITH GASOLINE AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS, GASOLINE OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS IS WITH THE LOCK MECHANISM ENGAGED ON THE GAS PUMP HANDLE. I HAVE OBSERVED THIS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THOSE GAS STATIONS. I HAVE TAKEN OTHER VEHICLES TO THE SAME STATIONS AND PUMPS AND FILLED THEIR TANKS IN THE SAME FASHION, AND THE LOCK MECHANISM ON THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY DISENGAGES AND NO GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND REACHES CAPACITY. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THIS VEHICLE ONCE PREVIOUSLY IN SEPTEMBER 2009 AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUE. I AM TIRED OF DEALING WITH IT AND WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE OCCURRING DUE TO THIS. THE GAS SPILLS OUT AND ON TO THE PAINT ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
