Consumer Description
I was driving our vehicle on the highway and proceeded to exit on the ramp. As I was decelerating, the instrumentation started making electrical noises and then the center console and the entire navigation screen went black. They flickered then came back up briefly before shutting off a second time, then the entire car shut down. There was no power to anything. I then attempted to push the start button, and the car did not start the first time. I tried pushing the button a second time and the car started. I brough the car to the Volvo Dealership where we purchased the vehicle and they said the car was due for a major software upgrade. I thought this was ridiculous, but said ok. After a few hours, they said the car was completed and let me take it. I did not get 100 feet down the road and noticed my moon roof no longer worked. I brought the car right back, and the technicians got in my vehicle with me in it and attempted to re-calibrate the moon roof with no luck. It was at this point they gave me a courtesy vehicle and kept my car over the weekend until Monday afternoon when they called to sday they were finally able to re-calibrate. I am extrememly concerned about this incident, and did not like how the dealership brushed it off as normal! This is a serious issue, thank God my wife was not on the hoghway when the car shut down!!
