Consumer Description

This afternoon for no reason, the car flashed a non-stop message “Drive to workshop. Propulsion system Service urgent.” I drove about 3 minutes at 15 mph to get the car somewhere safe, all the while the engine not turning correctly and could not accelerate safely. This appears to be a VERY common and dangerous issue for Volvo hybrids and there was a recall last year. It clearly did not fix the issue though.
