BAD PROBLEM! V-8 Going Dead!
My wife has a 2005 XC-90 v-8 with 15,000 miles. About 6 weeks ago the fuel pump (we were told) caused the car to go dead and strand my wife in the middle of nowhere. It was fixed and ran fine until tonight when again it goes dead on me in the middle of the highway. It has always gotten premium gas and my wife loves the car, but I don't think it is safe anymore. I got it intending for my daughter to drive in a couple of years but now I don't trust it. Has anyone else experienced this problem? We are sick about it.

RE: BAD PROBLEM! V-8 Going Dead!
Are you goin to let them drive it till it goes out again!?!? 2 bad pumps could definatly happen, its not impossible! Could be another issue they are just not seeing! The fuel pump could be running at 100% all the time, therefore burning it up. Could be a lot of different things.

RE: BAD PROBLEM! V-8 Going Dead!
We are currently waiting for Volvo's response. I hope to just trade the car for another XC-90, and the dealer has been reasonable, giving us a loaner car. Will let you know what happens.
I have heard of this happening sporadically though, an exact incident like this happened in OK, (3 times it went dead in a month)- again the fuel pump went out.
Anyone else with this problem on the V-8 XC-90?
