2004 Volvo XC90 engine problems

“Unsure of what the issue is with the vehicle but smells like gas in my garage and I found a recall I was never notified about I moved from Washington to Las Vegas and never received any info regarding the fuel pump recall as well as a noise that’s been going on for a year now when I drive at 60 miles an hour I’ve had it looked at and no one seems to know what that issue is”

“While driving on the highway "SRS urgent" text came on, also hear clicking sounds under dash on driver side, then dashboard indicator lights completely disappear (speed, fuel, temperature, etc) . Extremely hot under driver side dash. Fortunately, still able to steer and brake. This has happened twice now. Mechanic believes most likely CEM failure or DIM failure. My vehicle also has a wet A-pillar fabric (Volvo forums indicate possible cause of failure). I removed drivers A-pillar and found a clogged drain tube from the sunroof. However, did not notice any obvious signs of water inside the vehicle, though it hasnt rained for over a month when this happened.”

“TL-CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC90 ---- CONTACT CALLED VOLVO DEALER IN WHITE PLAINS NY... CONTACT STATED AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WAS ON FOR A MONTH.... VEHICLE STALLED GOING 50MPH ...

TOLD CONTACT THAT AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON WAS NOT A BIG DEAL....THAT AIRBAG WAS FAULTY SO IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN ACCIDENT........ 0 RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN.. CB”

“WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED (ON THE HIGHWAY) THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THE DASHBOARD AND ALL ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF, THE HAZARDS DO NOT SEEM TO WORK OR THE TURN INDICATORS, ABS DOES NOT WORK SO IT IS A VERY SLOW HEAVY STOP. THIS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS CAR ONE OTHER TIME IN 2010, AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE COMPUTER MODULE UPGRADE ISSUED.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC90. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE RPMS DECREASED AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000....UPDATED 01/27/16 *BF *JS”

“EXITING DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE, UPON SWITCHING TO DRIVE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND A JERK WAS FELT IN THE TRANSMISSION. SOON THE DASHBOARD GAUGES AND THE INDICATORS WENT DEAD. SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES QUICKLY "SCROLLED" (BRAKE FAILURE, AIRBAG FAILURE, ABS FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE) THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. NO POWER TO DASHBOARD CONTROLS (GAUGES DEAD, NO LIGHTS/TURN SIGNALS, NO RADIO). FRONT WINDOWS WORK, BUT NOT REAR. VEHICLE DRIVES AS IF IN LOW GEAR. UNSAFE TO DRIVE SO HAD TOWED TO DEALER. THEY ARE RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS SO TBD ON SPECIFIC ISSUE AND COST TO REPAIR. CONCERNED AS NO RECALL AND SITUATION IS SO DANGEROUS (WHAT IF I'D BEEN ON FREEWAY!) VOLVO SHOULD RECALL ALL THE 2004 XC90 AS OTHERS REPORT SAME DEFECT”
