Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITH OUT WARNING AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. THE ENGINE STAYS RUNNING WITH VERY MINIMAL POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND ALL THE LIGHTS, WIPERS, EVERY ELECTRICAL PART JUST SHUT OFF, I AM LUCKY I DID NOT CRASH. AFTER RESEARCHING I THAT A LOT OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THAT VOLVO IS AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT.
