Consumer Description

DURING LONG DURATIONS(>4HRS) OF DRIVING MY 2004 VOLVO XC90, IT SEEMS TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE CAUSED ME AND THE PASSENGERS TO BE PUT INTO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, DRIVING ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL GO INTO AN ENGINE PROTECTION MODE AND REDUCE POWER TO THE EXTENT THAT I CAN'T ACCELERATE AND HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD--(BOOST CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED.) AS LONG AS I DON'T USE THE CRUISE CONTROL THIS WILL NOT OCCUR. ALSO, THERE WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN 2009. NEXT, AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL, THERE SEEMS TO BE INTERMITTENT REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER, NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT HAS APPEARED AND WILL NOT GO OFF (WAITING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM DIAGNOSED)... *TR
