What owners report
I am filing this complaint because my 2000 Volvo S60 is experiencing a safety failure regarding the Front, driver door latch/lock. The door fails to latch properly. While there is a known safety recall (e.g., recall R89978) for this exact issue on the 2000 Volvo S60, my VIN shows as 'not affected' on the NHTSA lookup tool. My vehicle is exhibiting the exact safety defect that the recall is intended to fix, yet I am not covered. I request that NHTSA investigate why this VIN is excluded despite having the same safety defect, posing a significant risk.
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE, SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVER SIDE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE SEAT ACROSS MY BODY. I WOULD NOT MOVE, I BEGAN TUGGING AT IT AND RELEASING IT. I BROKE THE HOUSING OFF OF THE SEATBELT AND I COULD SEE INSIDE IT WAS WRAPPED IN A SPIRAL.
THE ETS LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE CAR ENDED UP STALLING AFTER BEING PARKED UPON TRYING TO RESTART IT. THIA IS AM ISSUE THAT ONLY THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP CAN FIX SINCE IT INVOLVES REPROGRAMMING OR REPLACING AND PROGRAMMING A NEW ETS MODULE. FORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A PARKING LOT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT ROWED TO A SHOP TWICE. NOW IT IS GOING TO THE DEALER.
IGNITION COIL IS MISFIRING, AND PARK NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ALSO KNOWN AS THE TRANSMISSION POSITION SWITCH OR NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IS HAVING ISSUES. WHEN ITS IDLING ITS REALLY ROUGH WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JOLTS AN HICCUPS. DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT'S GOING INTO
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 VOLVO S70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED IN THE RETRACTED POSITION AND DID NOT GIVE ANY SLACK TO SECURE THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CYLINDER WOULD NOT RELEASE THE TENSION TO PULL IT ACROSS THE CONTACT'S BODY. THE CONTACT EMAILED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,700.
