Consumer Description

ON OCTOBER 18 AT APPROXIMATELY 8PM WE WERE TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON I-4 WHEN WE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE "JERK" OF THE VEHICLE AND THE INTERIOR SEATBELTS LIGHTS LIT UP. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING A FEW MILES LATER. WE DECIDED TO EXIT AND THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER "JERK" OF THE VEHICLE AND WE LOST ALL INTERIOR ELECTRICAL, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO A/C, NO WINDOWS, NOTHING! WE LIMPED TO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE SAME ON YOUR WEBSITE! VOLVO NEEDS TO RECALL THE VEHICLE AND MAKE THE REPAIRS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! VOLVO CAN'T SEEM TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR DID NOT REGISTER AN EVENT! SEEMS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WON'T "OWN" UP TO THE FACT THAT IT'S A VOLVO PROBLEM! *TR
