“Transmission has hard eratic shifting from first to second. Then second to third gear with over reving before engaging into gear. Driving around corners transmission completely slips out of gear, over revs and then lunges forward very hard. Very unsafe for the safest brand of car on the market. Recall?”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · May 2015

“Twice now over a ten day period first when reducing speed to a stop or then again at a speed of less than 5 mph, the car died...first the engine died then all else died. The car went dead. I still had my steering and slowly rolled to the curbed then as I gently put on the brakes the car jerked to a halt. During the second incident the car still jerked after I had stopped. A loud sound of a fan from the engine could be heard. The fan stopped after 10 to 15 seconds. After a minute I restarted the car and made it home both times. *tr”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Apr 2015

“Car cut out and stalled while driving on a busy highway. The car had more than a quarter tank of fuel at the time. This has happened on more than one occasion since I purchased the car early february 2014. This is not safe and there is a high potential for an accident. I have read other volvo s60's from other years were recalled for the same issue in relation to fuel system. Why was this year not recalled when there is clearly the same problem?”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Feb 2014

“Vehicle has stalled without any warning several times while traveling at highway speeds (60 mph). First incident occurred during the summer of 2011 at 105,000 miles. A second, similar incident occurred in the fall of 2011 at 108,000 miles. Auto scandia in herndon, va, replaced mass air flow meter in an attempt to address the problem. The vehicle performed well for several months without incident. Unfortunately it stalled again in march 2012. This was also without any warning while traveling at highway speeds (60 mph). The unusual highway breakdown was very dangerous. *tr”Owner report · Fuel System, Gasoline · Jul 2011
