Consumer Description

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I HAVE INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH ODD CODES SHOWING UP ON THE DASH BOARD AND THEN THE CAR NOT STARTING. I TOOK IT IN AND NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS WEEK DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WENT INTO FULL SHUT DOWN. (EXTREMELY DANGEROUS !!!!) I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART A FEW MINUTES LATER AND DROVE THE CAR HOME WITH THE FLASHERS ON AND REMAINING IN THE RIGHT LANE IN CASE OF A REPEAT. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE KEEPING UP WITH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR DIED INITIALLY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VOLVOS AND I AM HOPING THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
