VOLVO 740 1987 car safety problem was reported on July 04, 2002.VOLVO 740 1987, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD . THE INSULATION ON THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAS TOTALLY DEGRADED, CAUSING MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE WORST BEING OVERPOWER TO THE FUEL INJECTORS CAUSING TOTAL GASOLINE FLOODING OF THE CYLINDERS AND DUMPING GASOLINE ALL OVER THE ROAD. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT ALL VOLVO'S FROM 1983-1987 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. VOLVO IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NEVER FIXED IT. GASOLINE DUMPING IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZZARD, IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN SMOKING IN THE CAR, OR SOMEONE PULLED UP BESIDE ME SMOKING, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR FIRE AND EXPLOSION. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TOTALLY REPLACED, AND VOLVO SAYS THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, A PROBLEM THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE EXSISTED. IT SEEMS THAT VOLVO EXPERIMENTED WITH INSULATION IN THE EARLY 80S TO MAKE WIRING HARNESSES BIODEGRADEABLE. THAT IS ADMIRABLE, BUT IT WAS ALSO A FAILURE, CREATING MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FOR VOLVO OWNERS AROUND THE WORLD, AND THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. ALL VOLVO'S BUILT IN THIS TIME PERIOD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE, BUT IF NOT, ITS A MIRACLE. VOLVO SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO REPLACE THESE THINGS IN THE 80'S WHEN THEY BECAME WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):YV1FX8749H1.

Volvo 740 1987 Reviews
Having fuel delivery issues, car will not maintain idle and pedal does not work. I have replaced both fuel pumps, coil, wires, cap and rotor, plugs, throttle position sensor. Just ordered mass air flow sensor. Whats next fuel injectors? can the hydraulic clutch on a 2007 vn610 be adjusted? My vovlo s70 1998 lost power going 40mph and then will start right back up. I just bought a 2001 Volvo C70 convertible 113,000 miles - no warranty - it started bucking a bit - I took it for an oil change and they wouldn't do it because the dipstick top came right off and the dipstick is stuck inside so he said he couldn't a/c compressor runs for about 30n seconds after start up then shuts down . 2002 volvo vhd Is it good to buy the Volvo CX60? The passenger seat belt is stuck and will not extend. I have an 2004 xc70. What is the fix? I have fooled with it but no luck. how to install crankshaft gear We keep getting "tire pressure system service required" warnings on our 2007 volvo V70 2.5t. There was a recall on this is for the 2007-2010 v80. start of fuel deliver at the Bosch injetion pump hi want is the correct price for s40 2000 steering rack and pinion and do need the boot and filter
Anyone else seeing this?
