Consumer Description

MY 2004 VOLVO XC90 WITH A 2.5T ENGINE, 7 PASS, INTERMITTENTLY AND INADVERTENTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OFF, INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC, SEVERAL WARNING MESSAGES APPEARS, SUCH ABS, AIR BAGS FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE, ETC. IT WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AND BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PUSH, THE ENGINE DOES NOT STOP. I HAVE TO STOP, TURN IT OFF, WAIT FEW MINUTES, THEN START IT, EVERYTHING COMES TO NORMAL AGAIN BUT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE AIR BAGS MESSAGE, THEN AFTER SOME MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SAME STALLING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE ON FREEWAY AND YOU LOOSE BRAKES AND ENGINE CONTROL, NO INFORMATION IN INSTRUMENT PANEL, ETC. I FOUND THAT THE RELAYS IN THE CEM (CONTROL ELECTRONICS MODULE) ARE SUPER HOT POSSIBLY DUE TO LOOSE CONNECTIONS, IN THE VIDEO BELOW YOU WILL SEE THE PROBLEMS AND INFRARED PICTURES OF THE CEM. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! PLEASE SEE MY YOUTUBE VIDEO AND OTHER VIDEOS WITH THE SAME ISSUE SEARCH FOR XC90 ISSUES, XC90 STALLING, XC90 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC.
