2002 VOLVO S60 — Complaint #583250
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY filed May 30, 2006
NHTSA complaint #583250 (ODI reference 10158509) concerns a 2002 VOLVO S60 and was filed on May 30, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 30, 2006. The vehicle had 69,247 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:delivery, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same VOLVO S60 cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:delivery failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2002 VOLVO S60 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I WAS DRIVING A CAR AND IT JUST LOST ALL POWER AND TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE IS UNDERPERFORMING. THE THROTTLE JUST DROPPED AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS RUNNING , IT WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I THANK GOD THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS ROOM TO PULL OVER SAFELY.
