 Description of the problemApproximately two months ago, my car began shuddering and bucking in a random fashion, and getting no power to the accelerator. I contacted my mechanic, and since it couldn't be duplicated and at that time there was no "check engine" light on, there was nothing that he could check. This continued with varying degrees of intensity until last evening(12/15/09) at approximately 6:00 pm. As i was merging onto the highway, the car began shuddering intensely. I down shifted and it continued. Without warning(and while having fully merged and reaching the highway speed of 65 mph), the car died. I was able to pull to the shoulder without incident. The check engine light came on and remained on when i restarted the engine. It again died within a few feet. After a third attempt, i was able to restart the car and exit the highway and return home. In researching the possible cause, i came across the description of the following nhtsa recall on certain '03-'04 models(07v226000). My dealership informed me on the following day that the issue with the car was indeed the fuel pressure sensor, and that my car was not part of the recall. I know from other v70r owners that they too have had the same issue, and that volvo usa is aware of the problem. I would like for an investigation into the recall be expanded to more of the vins that were produced in '03-'04. Had i not been able to pull over to the shoulder immediately(i was in the right hand lane), i could have been in a serious accident. The highway in question is a 3 lane highway that was quite busy and it was fully dark at the time that the engine failed.
