The car starts missing then stalls out after about 30miles of driving it stalled in the middle of crossing a 4 lane and was about hit.it is the pem they had recalls on them but not my car for some reason
Every time I drive the car it misses a little then it just shuts down like it's not getting any fuel the car don't die just won't pull out I tried to cross a 4 lane and it stalled in the first lane and I about got hit in the side it also did it on the interstate.it is very dangerous I was told it's the electronic fuel module, or pen and was told there was a recall on that part all over the internet but Volvo said there wasn't which I don't believe why would the internet say there was on like 5or notre websites
Fuel pump control module (pem) fails during wet conditions. Car will crank like normal but will not start. Let car dry out for a few days and then the car will run normal again.

Takata recall. I had engine stuttering at high speed. My fuel pressure sensor failed and was replaced. I question why it is not covered under the NHTSA campaign I.D. # 07V226000 which is for the same part in the same engine but in 2004 S60 models.

Car stalls with out warning when travel at speeds of 0-65 mph very dangerous!! there are recalls re: Fuel pressure sensors for nearly all Volvo makes except the S40 2005 this part is truly a defective item and needs to be recalled before a death occurs on the highway!! I thought Volvo was a safe reliable car but I can honestly say this car is the biggest piece of junk I have ever spent a lot of money on. The tires blew out on the sides which also put me in danger the interior headliner fell off as well as all other material on the doors all leather is loose gear shifter cover fell apart. Gas cap broke gas builds too much pressure loosening the gas cap frequently these are just some of the issues I have. Very disappointed in this vehicle I keep my car in the garage. Only drive to and from grocery shopping and dr appts please consider recalls on the important parts of the vehicle that can save lives!
