problem #1

Apr 252005

S60 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,000 miles
Consumer stated 2001 Volvo S 60 was having a problem with the unit that regulated the air flow into the brakes and engine. The car was making a hissing sound, like air being let into the cabin. This was happening a lot, especially in the heat. The brakes had to be depressed to get the car to stop. Consumer had the car fixed last week at the dealership; the mechanic informed consumer that the air pump to the brakes had to be replaced. This vehicle was not stalling, or losing power, nor were there near misses. Consume R was just responding to this because of what she saw on the news. The warranty expired. Repairs were done at consumer's expense.
