I had a 2008 volvo s60 and now i have a 2013 volvo s60. And the same exact thing happened with both of them. Both cars had more than half a tank of gas and while driving on the freeway they started to stutter and then the car just shut off while i was driving. I was lucky to be close to an exit and i had to let the car role on nuetral till i was safe away from any traffic. If i want close to an exit you can just imagine what would of happened. When i tried to turn the car on it wouldn't start anymore. I have done knowledge on working on cars and new it was a fuel problem. Upon checking i noticed that the fuel rail didn't have any fuel pressure. On my 2008 the problem was the fuel pump module. On my 2013 its a newer car so i don't really know much about it. Only had it for 2 weeks. And now it got towed and is at the dealer where i bought it from to get checked by their mechanic. There must be a problem with s60's to have happened to both s60's I've owend.

S60

  • 72,000 miles
Excessive oil consumption - burning or consuming at least 5 quarts of oil every 2K-3K miles, between oil changes. Our only notice is when oil is below 5-quart range, when we receive a dash warning noting to stop engine. Car holds 7.25 quarts of synthetic oil. Well know documented throughout the web and known to Volvo mechanics, although more recognized with 2011-2012 S60. Stop engine notice received when starting car. Fortunately able to uber to auto supply and add 5quarts to drive home. Occurred on two occasions, wherein the second instance we researched, reached out to Volvo mechanics and in the process of contacting dealer and Volvo for follow-up. It appears that several instances have resulted in engine failure and/or $5K or more in personal cost to fix piston/value issue or replace engine.

S60 5-cyl

  • 760 miles
1st incident, December 2012. About 760 miles on new car. Quarter tank of fuel. Traveling at 65 mph on interstate, vehicle lost power, and had to coast to a stop at side of road. Fortunately in rural area with low traffic so no problems. After towing to dealer, no problem identified... ECM-P008700 code reported as fuel pressure loss. Software mentioned as the problem, ECM upgrade accomplished. 2nd incident, March 2013. About 2350 miles on car, again quarter tank of fuel. Again on interstate, vehicle abruptly lost power and had to coast to a stop. Again, fortunately in rural area with low traffic. Problem also appears to be fuel system related, but still being investigated by a different dealership since were on a trip out of town.
