| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Between 12/2004-6/2005 my 2003 volvo s60 lost power/ power decreases at varying speeds. the most significant was on the hwy going 65 mph. i had just accelerated to get onto the hwy in front of a semi truck. my car reached 65-70 mph and began to drop speeds - 65 to 55 to 50 to 40 with in seconds. the semi almost ran over me because the speeds dropped so fast. i caused 2 other cars on the hwy to go onto the side ramp otherwise it would have been a horrible crash with the semi. i have taken the vehicle to the dealer 3 times complaining of the same problem. the final time stating not to give the car back until it was fixed. the dealer said they downloaded new software to the car? if it happens again they can install a black box to record what is going on. what if the next time the semi does crash into me? the first time they had the car the labeled as pedal position sensor install/replace? the second time the invoice reads pressure sensor intake air replaced? ultimately, i saw the report in the news and recognized the issue to exactly what happens to my car. i noticed that you did not include 2003 s60's in your report. i know these should be looked at as well. i love my volvo i just don't feel very safe in it. please contact me for any questions. *nm |
