S80 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,800 miles
A 2000 Volvo S80. The engine stalls/died at 5-7 mph. This happened at least three times. Each time it happened at low speeds. Has occurred just after starting and when pulling to a stop. When taking vehicle to the dealership the first two times they did not tell him what they did to the vehicle. The third time they fixed the air mass meter which controlled the air and fuel mixture. This fixed the problem temporarily. The first time it occurred was on 10/112004, the second time it was on 01/01-205, and most recently it occurred on 7-28-2005. The consumer stated the problem was finally resolved, a new throttle body part was installed.

S80 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Car stalling. I thought that it was just my bad luck- that I had bought a lemon. I purchased my 2000 Volvo S80 T6 sedan brand new in December 1999. I have had many, many problems with this car, all of which were covered by warranty. The reason I am writing to you just now is because of what I just read on the internet. My car stalled in traffic last month. I was coming to a stop at a light. The car re-started. The Volvo dealer could not find a problem. There has been no stalling since.
