The engine oil pressure sensor is not activated in my 2014 volvo s60 software, also combined with what i found out was a known issue of excessive oil. My car engine oil pressure got too low, and there was no warning displayed in the Driver Information Module (DIM). the car started stalling while driving and i almost had a crash. I found out there was a recall on the 2012 volvo S60 but there was none on my 2014 which had the same issue. I have since taking the car to the dealership and not only did i almost lose my life in a crash i was also told the engine was permanently damaged. i have reported the case to volvo they need to expand the years the recall was on and also need to fix my engine which was due to manufacturers defect

I PURCHASED THE CAR ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, THE CAR WENT HAYWIRE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN OFF, NO TURN SIGNALS, NO HEADLIGHTS, AND NO INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOTALLY UNSAFE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND HE SAID, "WOW, YOU'RE THE 2ND PERSON TODAY TO CALL WITH THESE ISSUES. WE THINK THERE MAY BE A RECALL, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE GERMAN DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY." NO HELP, NO CONCERN FOR SAFETY, NOTHING! HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED IN ON MONDAY, AND GERMAN DEALERSHIP HAS TO ORDER THE SOFTWARE. MY CAR SITS, THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THE S60 TO US, DENIES THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE! CAPITOL MOTORS SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN! I AM PAYING FOR A NEW CAR, I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE! *TR
