2012 Volvo S60: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Feb 11, 2022 · Engine · TX

It looks as if my car should have been included in the 62Vin recall for engine sensor not stating low oil. Car started to knock and shutoff with no warning for low oil pressure. Diagnostic show oil was issue but even when completely drained car still does not display low oil which caused motor to blow. Contacted volvo and they would not add vehicle to recalls even though car year manufactured period and engine vin matched recall.

I was driving on my way back home. When my car started to knock. As I was slowing down to pull over. My oil pressure light came on. Granted, the reason was unknown. I had just recently checked the oil level. I got out to check the dipstick to find smoke coming out where the dipstick was. Curious as I was, I had no oil which left me puzzled. After some research, I found that my car had a recall on it for oil consumption. I called and asked a rep if they could verify if my vehicle was serviced for the issue. But without a doubt, he said it was. I just want to know if the problem was fixed. I currently can't crank my vehicle. I even dug into it myself and found that I had a bad starter nd battery. After replacing the two. I still can't get my vehicle to turn over. Any help would be much appreciated.

The oil was changed at 85,000 miles. At approximately 90,000 miles, the low oil pressure light flashed on and immediately disappeared when making turns. The sensor light did not remain on the dashboard. There was no evidence of oil leaking. After a couple of days, the engine began knocking. The oil level was checked and was low. Oil was added to the car. The car was taken to the volvo dealer for a diagnostic check. The dealer representative stated that no warning light indicators showed during the diagnostic check. The engine was starved of oil and needed to be replaced. He mentioned that for this model and year, new vehicle owners that still had a warranty were asked to come in and have piston o-rings replaced because of excessive oil consumption. We were not made aware of this issue.

I took my car in for a routine oil change and discovered within 45 miles of driving the car that there was no oil in the vehicle. The oil pressure light never came on nor did the check engine light come on. It wasn't until after I added 4quartz of oil and the engine quieted down that the oil pressure light came on followed by a check engine light and a notification saying to turn off the engine immediately. This happened as I was driving my car to pep boys to see a manager about them not putting oil in the car. I have been fighting with pep boys on the issue for over a month and the mechanic I hired has just pointed out that there was a recall for the issue I am having with my car. Apparently volvo has had an issue with the tire pressure light never coming on which is exactly what I told pep boys that there was absolutely no indication that there was no oil in the car until a knocking sound had started.
