My 06 s60 has blown 3 charge air hoses in the EXACT same spot. (The hose behind the radiator.) A golf-ball sized hole blows out in a bend in the hose while driving. The car will idle , but throttle up at all. The dealer says this is a fluke.

The practical reality is that transporting the car to a dealer for this (or any other recall) is completely unreasonable,…

A FEW MONTHS BACK, THIS VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GASOLINE FROM THE AREA OF FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, SO THERE WAS ALSO A STRONG ODOR INSIDE THE CAR. THE VEHICLE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED JUST PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. SO, FOR 20 MILES, MYSELF AND MY WIFE WERE SUBJECTED TO GASOLINE FUMES, AND AT THE SAME TIME, RAW GASOLINE WAS SPILLING UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. MY REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED, AND REPAIRED CAR BY INSTALLING A NEW FUEL PUMP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION , I HAVE FOUND THAT VOLVO CARS DID RECALL, AND REPAIR SOME MODELS OF 2003 AND 2005... EVEN MY 2004 WAS REIMBURSED FOR THIS. I BELIEVE THAT VOLVO KNOWS THAT'S THERE IS A PART DEFECT, NOT A…
