2006 Volvo S60 owner complaints

The electronic throttle module had to be replaced in my 2006 Volvo s60. The car only has 72,702 miles! This is after having paid several hundred dollars to have the etm cleaned several months ago. The cost to replace the etm was over $800. As I search the internet, these cars seem to have problems with this particular part. It's ridiculous to think that I'm going to have to keep paying for this part, especially when the car is only 5 years old and has far less than 100,000 miles!!! I demand a recall and warranty replacement! The service manager at my local Volvo dealership tells me these units need to be cleaned or serviced about every 30k miles. I have a copy of my receipt from this weeks service. This part should be covered under a warranty by the manufacturer! Believe me, I'm

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 Volvo s60. The contact stated that intermittently when attempting to start the vehicle it failed to start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the technician could not duplicate the failure or provide a remedy. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 47,000.

Engine throttle. Car slow down to a crawl while driving speed at 60 miles on highway , check engine light. Trying to find if a recall . Other must be having this problem . This is 2006 s60 Volvo

In my 2006 Volvo s60 the etm went out after only 48000 miles. The engine has a rough idle and won't go over 40 MPH. It's in limp mode. A replacement for the etm is upwards of $1,000 and the dealer needs to be the one to service to mate the etm to the car. Looking on the forums and around it amazes me how common this problem is. The recall that was for 1999-2002 models should be extended to all model years that are affected by this faulty part to ensure that all Volvo owners are safe from this potentially dangerous problem. *tr

I first experienced this brake failure 2 years ago during an exit from a highway on an uphill off-ramp. When I pressed the brake pedal, there was absolutely no braking power. Only after I lifted my foot from the brake and reapplied pressure did I have any braking power. This has only happened a few times and is very infrequent and random in its appearances, but is a recipe for disaster and is only a matter of time before someone is killed from it. There are multiple owners reporting the same failure. Volvo has not provided a solution to correct this failure. *tr

Car type: Volvo s60r model year 2006 (euro spec.) manual transmission. Technically near identical with Volvo s60r sold in us market, except for lights and speedometer. Temporary complete loss of brake power going uphill at moderate speed (+/- 30mph), when depressing clutch and attempting to brake. Occurred a number of times, under similar conditions. Under this condition, the braking distance becomes very very long. When it happens, it is accompanied by a sort of spring release noise that seems to come from the rear haldex coupling. Would lead to accident in dense traffic. There seems to be a software interaction problem between the computer that controls the haldex AWD system and the ABS system. Requires immediate attention as this intermittent failure can cause severe car cra

Jan., 2007: car was towed to Volvo dealership. After taking car to car wash in 14 degree weather, tire, brake pads or rotor froze, making the car undriveable. Feb. 24, 2007: drove 45 minutes on highway during blowing snow. My car had been parked in my home garage. I parked car outside for 3 hours at my destination. Driving the 45 minutes return trip, the steering wheel shook like I was holding onto a battering Ram or jack hammer resulting in extremely rough driving. According to the dealership, the tire, brake pads or rotor froze and the freezing problem makes the tire(s) seem out of balance. The tires felt extremely out of balance. My hands were literally shaking like I had parkinsons. 3/7/07: on my way to work after car was parked in my home garage, the tires or brakes, etc. Mus

The contact owns a 2006 Volvo S60. The contact stated that the air bag was replaced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V766000 (Air Bags) and approximately 2 weeks later, while the vehicle was idling at a stop sign, the air bag compartment on the driver's side started smoking and the air bag warning light illuminated. The smoke then dissipated. There were no injuries or medical attention needed. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,190.

My 2006 Volvo s60 will not shift out of park when the vehicle is cold (after sitting outside overnight at temperatures below 45f). Depending on how cold it is, it takes from 5 to 20 minutes for the vehicle to warm enough that I can shift it into drive. The dealer is unhelpful: I left it overnight for them to check. Even though it would not shift for them, a service rep started it, not the technician so they would not do anything about it unless I take it back to them again. *tr

I have made a recent complaint regarding safety concerns with a faulty etm (electronic throttle module) on my vehicle. I dropped it off at my local authorized dealer for Volvo and I did not tell them that the car produced an error code p2135 / ECM-9200 -- throttle position sensor --faulty signal, because I wanted to see what error codes they would pull off. It is my understand even if I reset the 'check engine' light the dealer is able to pull the codes of the computer. Well in this case the dealer called me today and advised me that no codes could be pulled but wanted to know if the person working on my car could take it home with him and take a reader. I said no, but I did not take my car there because I want something for free. I am beyond frustrated with the Volvo because of the f

On my 2006 Volvo s60 turbo, the headlight lenses cloudy due to oxidization. This is a safety and durability issue. *tr

The passenger side light works intermittently this has been a slight issue since 2006 when I have had new lights installed on a regular basis. Despite me going to the dealer for over the last 11 years or so it is only getting more frequent in age. It is not the bulb but the wiring in the vehicle that is faulty. This can be dangerous especially when combined with the fog that the lights have put on the glass over the years. I have paid to have the fog removed twice and the wiring harness checked. After living in 5 different states I see this in almost every s60 in the mid 2000 always one head light out. It will come back on when you encounter a bump so it is a missed connection at some point in the wire harness. This creates such limited vision in night and I am constantly getting honked a

I was driving my 2006 Volvo s60 and the engine shut off without warning. The electrical system shut off and I was not even able to put the flashers on so that other drivers could know that there was a problem. I was able to pull the car to the side of the road (with difficulty since the power steering no longer worked) and put the car in park and restart it. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated while making a left u-turn at low speeds there was a knocking sound heard coming from the passenger side front near the tire. The dealer inspected and determined the link arm was broke in half and needed to be replaced. Also, the coolant light illuminated and the sunroof would not open. The dealer determined there was a crack in the radiator and the sunroof module was inoperable, and both were replaced.

A few months back, this vehicle was leaking gasoline from the area of fuel pump. The fuel pump is located under the rear seat of the vehicle, so there was also a strong odor inside the car. The vehicle fuel tank was filled just prior to this happening. So, for 20 miles, myself and my wife were subjected to gasoline fumes, and at the same time, raw gasoline was spilling underneath the car while driving. My repair shop diagnosed, and repaired car by installing a new fuel pump. After further investigation , I have found that Volvo cars did recall, and repair some models of 2003 and 2005... Even my 2004 was reimbursed for this. I believe that Volvo knows that's there is a part defect, not a part failure... This is a stationary, hard composite plastic that is the same culprit as the earlier ye

Vehicle turns it self of while driving.I fell very unsafe driving this car, because someone might hit me from behind. The dealer tells me it's a fuel sensor module. It's a faulty part mentioned all over the internet.

Etm fails causing me to limp home or has erratic throttle behavior, had repaired basically they just stated it had to be cleaned but the injectors where fine. After spending over $600.00 dollars now they are stating I need to spend another $600.00 on the part to replace because the motor is causing it to fail. I am usually driving down the road and then a message will display 'reduce engine performance causing me to go from 65 down to 40 miles per hour and I fear that one day it is going to cause and accident due to a mechanical failure on behalf of Volvo etm fiasco. Volvo has known this is a faulty design because back in 1999 to 2002 there was a recall and they were issued a 10 year warranty or 200,000 mile warranty after repeat failures. I am filing a complaint based on safety concer
