Description of the problem | December 10, 2010 - jan 5, 2011) frequent engine stalls, check engine light illuminated. Service diagnoses (chesapeake import services, annapolis, md) revealed ecm & dtc codes pointing to volvo recall 181, nhtsa campaign # 07v2z6000. Dealer and volvo cars of north america, llc indicate vehicle (vin: [xxx]) is not covered by recall; volvo will not pay for repair. Vehicle repaired on january 9, 2011 at owner expense by implementing the recall action (replace fuel pressure sensor). Check engine has remained out and there are no further problems with surge or stall. While the chassis number (409846) appears to be out of the recall range from the information available to the owner, there may be substantial risk to other owners with these vehicles. One of the engine failures (the last one) for this owners' vehicle occurred at a busy, high speed, and notorious intersection. The vehicle was then parked until a repair could be effected. We highly recommend that the scope of the recall campaign be reexamined with a view toward covering all the vehicles that might be exposed to this extremely dangerous condition. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
