I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH WHEN MY 2004 S60 VOLVO SHUT DOWN ON ME WITH NO WARNING. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALERT OR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND UNABLE TO FIX IT PLACING THEMSELVES IN DANGER THINKING IT'S BEEN REPAIRED. I INFORMED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM.
HEARD A NOISE, AND TRANSMISSION STOPPED BECAUSE TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT HOSE BUSTED. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
