Car is Volvo S60 2004 trim 2.4 4 door sedan fwd has 90317 miles on it. From last few weeks when I am driving vehicle it starts losing power and a warning come try slow down or shift up and my check engine light started blinking. This happened 4 times in last 1 week as the result I need to pull my car to safe place and restart that and then it runs better. This has really put me in danger to myself and other people on road. I am scare of driving the car in multiple lane roads in other lanes. I am now driving it on right lane only so that keep myself and other people safe for quick pull over if needed. Check engine gives me code P0171 and P0300. I went on line and followed advice and changed spark plugs, ignition coils and also oxygen sensor but no difference. Still car did same thing when I was driving with my family. I went on line and saw that many people have that issue with Volvo S60 of this year and model and struggling. I think this is some Volvo S 60 2004 model recall issue as it is creating accidental hazard to the owner of the car and the other traffic. Dr takyar

In stop and go traffic, my foot was on the brake to slow down. I took my foot off the brake and stepped on the accelerator as traffic moved again, there was no response to my foot on the gas pedal. The fuel tank, which I had just filled 10 miles before, showed as empty on the fuel gage. I was very, very slowly rolling forward with residual momentum and my steering wasn't working. There was just enough play in the wheel and forward momentum to aim and arrive at the shoulder of the highway. This was on rte 156 in monterey county, California, where very dangerous accidents happen all the time. Car had to be towed and the dealership has been unable to replicate failure. It was outrageously dangerous and I was alone with my 11-year-old child. So frightening!!!

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. The car is unsafe to drive because it stall or decelerate from highway speeds with no notice. It is very similar to a recall for model years up to 2002.

Driving home after purchasing the car (yeah), I was turning into a parking lot, so my speed was descending and the car stalled. I wrote it off as my fault because it did not happen again until 3 months later. Within the past 3 weeks the car has stalled while in motion approx. 6 times. Volvo stated the recalled part for this issue was replaced in 2009. I notified the dealer and have a appointment for repair, at my expense because it was already replaced. Meanwhile I will not drive the car due to the lack of safety. Wish I would have researched the car model before purchase.

The vehicle on several occasions will completely shut off while in the middle of driving. I have taken it to several mechanics and was advised that they cannot find anything wrong with it. I have had this happen while driving on the expressway at over 70 mph and local at 35 mph. I have to immediately shift to neutral and turn the car back on. It is extremely scary. I have been lucky that there has never been anyone behind me, but if someone is behind me and it happens again, there will definitely be an accident. This has happened 8 times now.

The PCV "flame trap" has clogged in my 2004 Volvo S60 with only 41,000 miles and as it turns out, this is a $1200 job. I wouldn't be so dismayed had I not discovered that this is an extremely prevalent problem and that it is guaranteed to happen to your car prior to 100,000 miles. That there is nearly no amount of maintenance one can do to prevent this problem. The worst part about this problem is that if it's not repaired promptly, it will lead to oil burning and the damaging of various seals in the engine which will lead to catastrophic engine failure. Volvo has extended its warranty coverage for this problem on its S40 model cars which share the engines in the S60, yet has not acknowledged this to be a major problem in its S60 models.
