2007 VOLVO XC70

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Volvo Cars USA, LLC (Volvo Car) is recalling certain 2001-2007 V70 and XC70 vehicles. The driver's air bag inflator may explode during deployment, due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)

VOLVO IS RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH GARMIN 760 PORTABLE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) UNITS BECAUSE THE BATTERIES ON THOSE UNITS MAY OVERHEAT.

The driver airbag has been under recall per letter dated 12/14/21, NHTSA RECALL #21V-800 We scheduled initial repair with dealer upon receipt of notice last December, however, this has not been accomplished and as of 9/23/22 as we are continually told the part needed remains on backorder. We had contacted Volvo directly on 3/31/22 and they stated the dealer would have to order the part. The "incident" or complaint filed here is due to the inability of being able to have this recalled part replaced in over 9 months and belief that manufacturer is delaying required replacement part due to the age of the vehicle.

Transmission issues, shifting, stop bump. Headlight issues wiring and hid ballast. Engine Evap work done. Back drivers side seat belt locking mechanism faulty. Knocking clinging under carriage in suspension areas.

STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT SOUNDED NORMAL (IT HAD DRIVEN PERFECTLY NORMAL THE DAY BEFORE). WHEN I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, IT HAD NO POWER IN REVERSE AND BARELY CREPT ONTO THE ROAD. WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT HAD NO POWER EITHER-ONLY CRAWLED VERY SLOWLY. WHEN I PUT IT INTO MANUAL DRIVE, IT WENT NORMALLY. BACK INTO AUTOMATIC AND IT WAS CREEPING AGAIN. HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO A GARAGE YET BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST IT ON THE ROAD NOW.

SERIOUS ENGINE SPEED SURGING. JUMPS TO OVER 8000 RPM. HAPPENS WHEN STOPPING ON OCTANE, NOT ALWAYS. I COULD HAVE GOT KILLED WHILE BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY ON A HILL. I HAVE SEEN THIS AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND WILL NOT DRIVE IT. I INFORMED MY INSURER. AT DEALER NOW, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND CANNOT DUPLICATE. LOTS OF INFO ON WEB FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUE AND CLASS ACTION SUIT HAS BEEN DONE ON YEARS JUST UP TO 2016. VOLVO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE THROTTLE MODULE AND ECM. I ASKED THE DEALER TO RESEARCH ON THIS AND IF THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THAN REPLACE THE LIKELY SUSPECT AND SOFTWARE AS WELL AS CONTACT VOLVO FOR HELP. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, VOLVO NEEDS GET INFO OUT AS SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR DIE DUE TO THIS KNOWN DEFECT AND SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I LOVE THE CARE BUT WILL NOT DRIVE IT AS IT IS. 63K MILES ON IT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL. THANKS [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUAN

ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. A "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE" LIGHT WAS LIT ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND STOP ON THE BERM. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED. THE WARNING LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT IT HAD ENOUGH POWER TO GET ME HOME (30 MILES). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON AND I AM AFRAID TO USE THE WAGON.

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES IN 77F, SUNNY, DRY CONDITIONS, I'D COME OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AT A LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN I STARTED MAKING THE LEFT, SOMEONE BLEW THROUGH THE RED LIGHT TO TURN RIGHT COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I LET OFF THE THROTTLE BUT THE THROTTLE DID NOT RELEASE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15-20MPH WITH THE ENGINE AROUND 2,000RPM IN, MOST LIKELY, THIRD GEAR. SINCE I WAS AT LOW SPEED, I PROMPTLY TRIED GENTLY TIPPING IN THE THROTTLE TO SEE IF I COULD CLOSE BUT IT DID NOT SO I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THE MOTOR REVVED UP TO ABOUT 4,000RPM WHICH IS A NATURAL IDLE FOR THIS MOTOR IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN GEAR AND THE MOTOR IS UNDER LOAD AT 2,000RPM. AFTER SEEING IT REV UP, I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT JERKED INTO GEAR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ON THROTTLE. SUDDENLY THE THROTTLE CUT AND IT RETURNED TO THE NORMAL PEDAL TRAVEL VS.
