Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND. ALL GAUGES GO OUT, LOSS OF POWER BRIEFLY, WIPERS SOMETIMES KICK ON AND FOG LIGHTS RESET AND SHUT OFF AND THERE IS A THUMP FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS MAINLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS BUT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AT 30 MPH AND SLOWER. CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES ON A 2.5 HOUR TRIP. ONCE IT HAPPENS IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME. DOESN'T DO IT ON TRIPS AROUND TOWN. CALLED VOLVO OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY DENIED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CEM AND SAID SINCE IT'S AN '04 WITH 85,000 MILES THAT I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY CAN OFFER NO HELP.
