NHTSA Complaint #10460439 — 2005 VOLVO S40

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. DIFFERENT WARNINGS WERE COMING UP ON THE CONTROL PANEL, ALERTING ME TO BRAKE FLUID LOW, AS WELL AS MY CURRENT MILEAGE DISAPPEARING. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND REMOVED THE KEY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUED TO RUN. THE DISPLAY MESSAGES INCLUDING "BRAKE FAILURE, STOP CAR SAFELY" AND "IMMOBILIZER SEE MANUAL." THE BRAKES ARE FINE, BECAUSE THEY WORKED WHEN STOPPING THE CAR AND WORK WHILE THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. I BELIEVE THIS WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR EARLIER IN THE DAY AND NO ISSUES WERE ARISING. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR IT WOULD BE START SAYING TO SEE THE "IMMOBILIZER SEE MANUAL" AND WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW STUCK IN A PARKING LOT UNTIL IT CAN BE TOWED TO A DEALER. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS MATTER BEING INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED IF POSSIBLE, AS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THE KEY. *TR
