ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2010 WITH 51,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH SERVICE ENGINE SOON MESSAGE. CAR WORKED FINE. THEN BRAKE FAILURE MESSAGE CAME ON, BRAKES WORKED FINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A WAY TO "RESET" SYSTEM. GO IN TRUNK, REMOVE BLACK BATTERY CABLE, TOUCH IT TO RED BATTERY CABLE FOR APPROX 10 SECONDS AND THE SYSTEM WILL. WE'VE RESET THE SYSTEM COUNTLESS TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO ALL GAUGES WOULD QUIT WORKING AND CAR WOULD RANDOMLY BRAKE AT ABOUT 45 MPH. PLUS AFTER COMING TO STOP, CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE BUT AFTER IT GOT GOING IT WOULD BE FINE. RESET SYSTEM AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 MILES AND HAPPEN AGAIN. VOLVO MECHANIC FOUND AWD (DEM) CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. REPLACED THIS AT $1500 FOR THE PART AND AFTER 50 MILES, GAUGES STILL WORK, NO RANDOM BRAKING AND ACCELERATION IS NORMAL. BUT....SERVICE ENGINE MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON. WAS TOLD THAT ALL MODULES RELATE TO EACH AND IF ONE IS OUT IT CAN AFFECT THE OTHERS. AT ABOUT $1500 PER MODULE, IT IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO REPLACE ALL THESE, 6 TO BE EXACT. VOLVO NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THESE MODULES. *TR
