The car hesitated on acceleration when I was getting on the highway and briefly stalled and the check engine light came. This has happened several times. I researched the issue and found a defective fuel pressure sensor is the cause. There are numerous reports of this on Volvo related websites. The part in question is Bosch #8699449 that was recalled for similar failures on Volvo 60 series vehicles. After replacing the part with a new bosh part #31272732 the problem did not reoccur. This old part should be recalled on all Volvo as it creates a real safety issue as the problem occurs during acceleration and could result in an accident.
