Description of the problem | On a recent rainy afternoon i stalled out in the middle of a very busy intersection in my 2004 v70, subjecting myself and my family to a very dangerous situation. I was able to restart my car, and after several more stall outs and restarts i was able to limp to a nearby parking lot where i called my repair shop to have my car towed in for repair. My mechanic diagnosed the problem as a faulty fuel pressure sensor, ordered the part from the local volvo dealer and repaired my car; the total bill, including towing was $615. Later that week, my husband looked up vehicle recalls on the nhtsa website and found recall #r181 which exactly described my situation. I would like to know why i was not notified of this recall before my car stalled and put me and my family at great risk. |
