Consumer Description

DRIVING ON STREET AND ENGINE JUST DIED, NO REASON CAN THINK OF, NO ENGINE LIGHT OR MESSAGE IN TEXT. HAPPENED AGAIN 2-3 WEEKS (YESTERDAY) WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR STREET ACCIDENT, LOST ALL POWER, HAD TO STOP CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, PUT IN PARK AND STARTED AGAIN. NO PROBLEM AFTERWARDS AND DROVE HOME. TOOK TO VOLVO DEALER TODAY WHERE I REGULARLY GO AND OF COURSE NO REASON FOUND FOR TWO TIME FAILURE. LUCKILY NOT DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR MAY HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. QUITE SCARED NOW TO DRIVE - WHEN IS IT GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN? 111,500 MILES - HAS HAD NEW TRANSMISSION 2 YEARS AGO AND MAJOR SERVICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. SERVICE MANAGER HAS NO IDEA, RECOMMENDED THROTTLE CLEANING FOR $400+ DOLLARS AND NOT EVEN SURE THAT IS CLOSE TO PROBLEM. *TR
