Consumer Description

MY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD VOLVO S40 DID THIS TWICE, SHORTLY AFTER STARTING IT AND MOVING IT FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. IT DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "BRAKE FAILURE STOP CAR SAFELY", "ANTI-SKID SYSTEM FAILURE", "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE". THE CAR COULD NOT GO MORE THAN 15 MPH. AFTER PARKING IT, I COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE MESSAGES KEPT REPEATING IN RANDOM ORDER. THE FIRST TIME THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THEY CHANGED THE COMPUTER MESSAGE MODULE (THE MECHANIC CARRIED A BOX WITH MANY PLUGS IN IT, JUST TO SHOW ME WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE). BUT JUST AFTER 500 MILES, THE PROBLEM RE-APPEARED. NOW THE CAR IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP, AND PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT FOR TWO WEEKS. *TR
