ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY
ON OCTOBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR OUR 2007 VOLVO XC90 CAUGHT FIRE NEAR THE REAR HATCH. MY WIFE, WHO NORMALLY DRIVES THIS VEHICLE, WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR ON HER FIRST ATTEMPT. IT APPEARED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER A COUPLE OF MORE ATTEMPTS THE CAR DID START BUT, A CHECK ENGINE SIGNAL APPEARED. AT THIS POINT SHE DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND LEFT IT AT HOME. I CAME HOME AT LUNCH AND AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS THE CAR DID START. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER WHICH TIME SMOKE STARTING FILLING UP THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE SOURCE OF THE FIRE SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I LOOKED UNDER AND AROUND THE CAR BUT, THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS SOURCE OF A FIRE. I OPENED THE REAR HATCH AND SAW FIRE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR JUMP SEATS. I IMMEDIATELY PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP IN BRISTOL, TN. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE DEALER IN BRISTOL AND EXAMINED THE CAR WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE FIRE HAD STARTED AROUND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR UNDER THE BACK SEATS. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESPONSE FROM VOLVO AS TO THE CAUSE OF THEIR PLAN FOR REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THEIR IS SEVERE BURN DAMAGE TO THE REAR SEATS, FLOORING MATERIAL AND OBVIOUS SMOKE DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BACK IN 10/31/04. WITHIN WEEKS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE, WE NOTICED LOST OF POWER AND PERFORMANCES IF THE VEHICLE. WE CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT IT AND SAID THAT IT MIGHT JUST BE DUE TO THE GAS CAP. AS IT TURNED OUT THEY HAD TO REPLACE A SOLENOID WHICH PART OF THE STARTER OR SOME TYPE OF FIRING MECHANISM FOR THE ENGINE. AFTER THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED, WE HAD TO CONTINUALLY BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE CHECK ENGINE CONSTANTLY COMING ON. THIS WENT ON FOR NUMEROUS TIMES UNTIL THEY FOUND A RELAY PROBLEM. LAST FRIDAY MY WIFE, WHO PRIMARILY DRIVES THE CAR, COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE AND LOST OF POWER ISSUE. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED HER WORRIES ABOUT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND A SUDDEN JERK OR RISE OF RPM WHEN IT HITS ITS MARK. ALSO AROUND 60 MPH AND 70 MPH YOU CAN HEAR OBVIOUS NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. AT IDLE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE YOU CAN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO DEALER ON 10/17/06. *NM
