Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT THUMPING NOISE AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FAILED AND SHUTDOWN IN A SECOND. THE POWER WAS LOST AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN HALT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I HAD PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS VERY SCARY, AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN THE NIGHT AND I COULD HAVE VERY WELL BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY LIFE AND OTHERS. THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE CAUSED THE CAR TO LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE SPEED AND THE CAR CAME TO AN IMMEDIATE HALT. THERE WAS A MESSAGE OF BREAK FAILURE FOR A SECOND BEFORE THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. REQUEST YOU TO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS CONCERN AS IT IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED OVER THE INTERNET AND I READ THAT MOST OF THE OWNERS OF 2004/2005 XC90 ARE FACING SIMILAR ISSUES, WHICH IS VERY SCARY. KINDLY HELP US AND HELP SAVE LIVES. THANKING YOU. *TR
