Car is volvo s60 2004 trim 2.4 4 door sedan fwd has 90317 miles on it. From last few weeks when I am driving vehicle it starts losing power and a warning come try slow down or shift up and my check engine light started blinking. This happened 4 times in last 1 week as the result I need to pull my car to safe place and restart that and then it runs better. This has really put me in danger to myself and other people on road. I am scare of driving the car in multiple lane roads in other lanes. I am now driving it on right lane only so that keep myself and other people safe for quick pull over if needed. Check engine gives me code p0171 and p0300. I went on line and followed advice and changed spark plugs, ignition coils and also oxygen sensor but no difference. Still car did same thing when I was driving with my family. I went on line and saw that many people have that issue with volvo s60 of this year and model and struggling. I think this is some volvo s 60 2004 model recall issue as it is creating accidental hazard to the owner of the car and the other traffic. Dr takyar

While driving, the car jerks violently - the same thing happens when the car is idling (no jerk, only an "click" sound). It happens anytime but seems worse in the summer but I think it's hot-heat related. The other issues are related: -the interior lights usually come on -the instrument panel goes completely blank/lights go off/no available emergency lights -the windshield wipers make one wipe sometimes -the "rear passenger door open" warning comes on -the "brake failure stop safely" warning comes on and sometimes "check engine" light comes on. Not all of these symptoms occur each time. There are more severe and less severe incidents.

Check engine light came on and car lost power while driving at highway speeds. It would not accelerate and displayed the message "reduced engine performance". Dealer indicated it was a cracked intercooler hose and that caused the issue. It was replace and after about two months the same symptoms happened. It was then diagnosed as a bad electronic throttle body. That was replaced and the same symptoms happened within two months again. The car now does not accelerate more than 10 MPH. The next diagnosis was to replace the complete engine wiring harness. The car is unsafe to drive because it stall or decelerate from highway speeds with no notice. It is very similar to a recall for model years up to 2002.
