2016 VOLVO XC90 Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 VOLVO XC90. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING MOTIVE POWER AS THE REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FLORENCE TOYOTA (2300 W. PALMETTO ST, FLORENCE, SC 29501) WHERE THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS HOWEVER, CYLINDER #2 WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO BEACH VOLVO (855 JASON BLVD #2, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TRANSFERRED TO STILLMAN VOLVO CARS (1290 WILMINGTON PIKE, WEST CHESTER, PA 19382) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT A PIECE OF CYLINDER HAD FRACTURED AND IT APPEARED AS THOUGH RODENTS MIGHT HAVE TAMPERED WITH THE CYLINDER LEADING TO THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE...

THE CAR WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPEN. ENGINE STARTED TO HAVE MULTIPLE MISS FIRE. TOOK IT TO A PROFESSIONAL SHOP AND CYLINDER 1, 2 AND 3 HAVE A WET SPARK PLUG. THEY DID MORE TESTING AND FOUND THAT THE CYLINDER OIL RING HAS FAILED. CAR ONLY HAS 81K MILES AND NEEDS A NEW ENGINE OR ENGINE REBUILD THIS IS BELOVED TO BE TO THE TYPE OF THE OIL RING THEY USED ON THIS CARS.

RAN A ERRAND, CAME HOME. WENT TO MY CAR & A BLUEISH LIQUID WAS COMING OUT. TOOK TO A SHOP & THEN TO THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP

THE PULLEY ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILED SO THE SERPENTINE BELT FELL LOSE AND ENDED UP BEHIND THE ENGINE WHERE THE TIMING BELT IS LOCATED. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOSE TIMING AND DAMAGED ALL THE VALVES, CYLINDERS, AND ENGINE BLOCK. NOW THE VOLVO DEALER IS TELLING ME THE ENGINE CAN'T BE REPAIRED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE THAT WILL COST $16,000.00. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND ARTERIAL STREETS. THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE WAS CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE ALTERNATOR PULLEY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE START-STOP FUNCTION MALFUNCTIONED ON MY VEHICLE AT A BUSY STOP LIGHT/INTERSECTION. MY WIFE AND I FELT WE NEEDED TO PUSH THE CAR TO SIDE TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT, DESPITE FLASHERS ON. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A VOLVO DEALER WHO WAS VERY HELPFUL. THEY HAD CAR FIXED NEXT DAY. SAID THE COMPUTERS OR SENSORS NOT COMMUNICATING. I ASKED VOLVO IF THEY WERE FIXING ALL CARS. THEY SAID MOLY SAID MY CAR WAS NOW OKAY

STOP/START BATTERY FAILED. LEAKED ACID. CAUSED EXCESSIVE AND INTENSE FOUL FUMES INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. MADE THE CAR INTOLERABLE TO BE IN WITHOUT OPENING WINDOWS AND MOON ROOF.

FOLLOWING RECALL SERVICE BY DEALERSHIP AGAINST NHTSA RECALL 19V308 THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND DRIVEN DIRECTLY HOME, ~16 MILES. AT MILE ~2 BURNING RUBBER WAS SMELLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT MILE ~10 SOME SMOKE WAS SEEN WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT MILE~16 THE ENGINE DIED AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. SMOKE STARTED POURING OUR FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND FIRE WAS SHORTLY THEREAFTER VISIBLE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END BURNED. I HAVE PLENTY MORE PICTURES OF THE BURNING AND BURNED CAR.

VERY LOUD SQUEALING NOISE STARTED FROM ENGINE BAY WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY A YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NOISE WOULD DISAPPEAR UNDER ACCELERATION BUT RETURN AGAIN OFF THROTTLE. DEALER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED 'BREATHER CHAMBER' WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENT: 'IF NOT REPAIRED, FAULTY BREATHER CHAMBERS CAN LEAK OIL ON OTHER MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH COULD LEAD TO A NUMBER OF SAFETY ISSUES INCLUDING FIRE.' THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 52,000 MILES. I'M TOLD THIS IS A REGULARLY OCCURRING VOLVO ISSUE BY MECHANIC FRIENDS.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2016, 1ST GENERATION VOLVO XC90 T6 ON 10/13/2015. THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITH AN ENGINE DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT TOOK MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF INCONVENIENT, BACK AND FORTH TRIPS TO THE GLEN COVE VOLVO DEALER TO FIND OUT THE REAL PROBLEM. THE ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT STARTED SAYING TO ADD 1 LITER OF ENGINE OIL IN 2017. SINCE THIS IS A NEW MODEL OF THE CAR, I THOUGHT IT'S WHAT THIS TYPE OF REQUIRED, SO INITIALLY I ADDED ENGINE OIL A FEW TIMES. HOWEVER, THE WARNING CONTINUES TO COME BACK EVERY 5-6 MONTHS. I THEN SUSPECTED MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AS IT SHOULDN'T HAVE WARNED ME TO ADD ENGINE OIL AS IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR. I FINALLY DROVE THE CAR TO VOLVO GLEN COVE DEALER TO REQUEST AN ENGINE CHECK UP ON 02/22/2018. THE FIRST 2 TIMES...

WE OWN A 2016 VOLVO XC90. PURCHASED USED IN JULY 2018. IN OCTOBER 2018, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THERE HAS SINCE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL FOR A PART THAT CAN LEAK THAT WE BELIEVE WAS THE CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE STARTED CHUGGING WHILE WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE. A TURTLE ICON CAME ON THE SCREEN. WE TOOK THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP TO GET OFF. WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. WE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE COOLANT WAS EMPTY. THERE HAD BEEN NO WARNING THAT THIS WAS LOW OR EMPTY. WE ADDED COOLANT. WE DROVE SLOWLY OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP. NOTHING CHANGED. WE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED A TOW. FIELDS VOLVO MADISON HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THEY WERE UNCLEAR WITH US ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. IT SEEMED THEY DIDN'T...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 VOLVO XC90. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V308000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. VOLVO CARS TAMPA (6008 N DALE MABRY HWY, TAMPA, FL 33614, (813) 885-2717) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 190726'000122. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

VOLVO RECENTLY HAD A "SERVICE CAMPAIGN" FOR THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK BLEEDER HOSE. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR, BUT THE DAY PRIOR TO OUR REPAIR, VOLVO USA CANCELLED THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN. THIS HOSE THEN FAILED 1-2 MONTHS LATER, SPILLING TOXIC COOLANT ALL OVER OUR DRIVEWAY AND DOWN THE STREET, WHICH OF COURSE HAS MANY PETS AND YOUNG CHILDREN ON IT. THIS ALSOCOULD HAVE PUT OUR SAFETY IN JEOPARDY IF THIS HAPPENED OUTSIDE OR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL CARPOOLS, AND OTHER PARENTS RELY ON US TO GET THEIR KIDS SAFELY TO THE DESTINATION AS WELL. OUR LOCAL DEALER WAS VERY PROMPT IN COMPLETING THIS REPAIR, BUT THEY ALSO INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SPARK PLUGS AS WELL. WE HAD NO NOTIFICATION OF SUCH A RECALL FROM VOLVO USA. I THINK VOLVO USA IS FAILING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLES GIVEN THE CANCELLATION...

I PURCHASED A 2016 XC90 IN JULY15. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE, I STARTED TO NOTICE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND VARIOUS OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO SERVICE 14 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE WITH ON A FEW FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. BRAKE PADS AND BOTH FRONT AND REAR ROTERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE BRAKE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I STILL FREQUENTLY BUT RANDOMLY HEAR CLICKING SOUNDS NEAR TO THE BRAKE PADDLE. I AM MOSTLY CONCERNED THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING HIGH SPEED WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. IF ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED AFTER SO MANY ATTEMPTS OF FIXING, I WORRY THAT ONE DAY THIS CAR WILL KILL SOMEONE. I HAVE ATTACHED SERVICE RECORDS AND A RECORDING OF THE CLICKING. IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE, I ALSO HAVE MANY OTHER ISSUES WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON THE SERVICE RECORD, MOSTLY RECENTLY, THE CAR WAS ON BIG...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 VOLVO XC90. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE HARNESS WIRES SNAPPED AFTER BEING CHEWED THROUGH BY RATS. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR BEGAN FLASHING AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO 128 VOLVO CARS (614 NORTH AVE, WAKEFIELD, MA 01880, (781) 224-3700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WIRES WERE SOY-COATED, WHICH ATTRACTED THE RODENTS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

THE SUV HAS HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. IT EVEN STOPPED ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER IN AN INSTANCE AND FEW TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO OUR HOUSE AND TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED OVER AND OVER (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE PISTONS MISFIRING), THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT SEEM TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE ASKED DEALERSHIP/VOLVO TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AS IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT ALL. EVERYTIME WE GET THE VEHICLE RETURNED AFTER THE REPAIR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BETWEEN 100-300 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND MAKES THE SUV NOT DRIVEABLE. WE HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS CONFIDED IN US THAT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURED ON ALMOST...

MY HUSBAND, MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND THREE YEAR OLD SON WERE DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18TH, 2017. AS MY HUSBAND TURNED DOWN OUR ROAD HE STATED HE SMELLED SMOKE, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. HE PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND PARKED. THEY THEN SAW SMOKE SEEPING OUT OF THE HOOD. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW EXITED AND MY HUSBAND REMOVED MY SON FROM THE BURNING CAR. I CAME OUTSIDE TO GREET THEM AND WITNESSED THIS. HE THEN OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT FLAMES ON THE DRIVER SIDE POSTERIOR AREA OF THE ENGINE. HE RAN FOR OUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHILE I CALLED 911. HE PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH THE EXTINGUISHER AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES. THEY INSPECTED, OPENED THE TOP COVER OF THE BATTERY AND DISCONNECTED IT. THEY REPORTED TO US THAT IT APPEARED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OCCURRING AT THE AREA OF...

VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH NO CARS AROUND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING FEATURE KICKS IN STOPPING THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON LOCAL STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BEING REAR ENDED AND I HAVE ALSO NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED. BROUGHT TO DEALERS AND THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT BUT HAVE BEEN TURNING IT OFF ON OTHER CARS BECAUSE THEY ADVISE THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS

2016 XC90, ENGINE IS DECELERATING ON STREET ROAD GOING FROM 40-45 MILES PER HOUR, TO 10 MILES PER HOUR SUDDENLY AND QUICKLY. WITH CLOSURE OF BACK DOOR WHERE THERE IS NO LOCK BUTTON TO HIT BY ACCIDENT, CAR IS LOCKING ALL DOORS BY ITSELF WHEN CLOSING THE PASSENGER DOOR. I AM AWARE OF BABIES BEING LOCKED IN THE CARS DUE TO THIS FAULT IN SYSTEM AND MY PET WAS LOCKED IN DUE TO THE LOCKS LOCKING ON THEIR OWN WHEN I CLOSED PASSENGER DOOR WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A LOCK BUTTON I COULD HAVE HIT BY ACCIDENT. FRONT END CRASH GOING OFF AND SLIGHTLY BRAKING ON HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS WHEN IT SHOULD NOT, NOTHING IN FRONT OF CAR NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS NOT GOING OFF WHEN IT SHOULD FOR INSTANCE SOMEONE CUTTING CAR OFF WITHIN 2 FEET SEVERAL TIMES. DASHBOARD SCREEN GOES BLANK WHILE DRIVING MEANING YOU CAN...

(CAR IS 26 DAYS OLD) THE DASHBOARD SCREEN WENT BLACK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & THE ENGINE TURNED OFF & WOULDN'T GO OVER (ABOUT) 10 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A ROLLING STOP IN A PARKING LOT, AND CALLED VOLVO BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS OUT OF GAS, DUE TO THE SCREEN NOT WORKING. MY VOLVO APP LET ME KNOW I STILL HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK, BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. THEY BROUGHT ME GAS & IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH GAS, THE PROBLEM WAS DEFINITELY ELECTRICAL/ MOTOR ISSUES. WE FINALLY GOT THE CAR TOWED TO VOLVO OF LAS VEGAS & THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST A SOFTWARE UPGRADE NEEDED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM & DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO ME. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE MY NEW BABY...

WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON STREET, THE DASH BOARD BLACK OUT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOP. CAN'T TELL WHAT SPEED,AND ALL OTHER WARNING SIGNAL. RE-STARTED THE CAR BUT ONLY CAN GO MILES/HR THE DASHBOARD STILL BLACK OUT. GET TOWED TO THE VOLVO DEALER . THEY STILL CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT IS PROBLEM. SEARCH INTERNET AND MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE HAS SIMILAR ISSUE. *TR

OWNED THIS NEW 2016 XC 90 T8 FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS. CHARGED CAR OVERNIGHT AS USUAL. DROVE IT ABOUT 3 MILES THE NEXT MORNING AND SUDDENLY CAR SPEED SLOWED DRAMATICALLY TO ABOUT 10 MPH AND A "CAR WILL NOT RESTART, DRIVE TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP" UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT IN THE POSITION TO DO SO, SO I PULLED INTO A STRIP MALL TO SAFELY PARK THE CAR AND WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT RESTART. BATTERY WORKING FINE, AS RADIO, AND LIGHTS WORKED , BUT CAR WOULD NOT POWER ON. WAS ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP, THIS WAS AN ISSUE THEY HAD JUST SEEN THE WEEK BEFORE AND IT WAS A "SOFTWARE ISSUE". CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR. IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE AFTER CONSULTING SEVERAL VOLVO ONLINE FORUMS. WITH NO DRIVE POWER, THIS CAR IS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL...

DURING DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AT APPROX. 45 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC DASHBOARD DISAPPEARED (SO YOU HAVE NO VISIBILITY TO SPEED, FUEL, WARNINGS), THE CAR RAPIDLY DECELERATED TO 10 MPH AND WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER AND ALL NON-STEERING CONTROLS (RADIO, AC, NAVIGATION, ETC.) FROZE. IT HAS REMAINED THAT WAY SINCE EVEN AFTER POWER CYCLING. APPARENTLY THIS CAN BE TEMPORARILY FIXED BY DISCONNECTING THE 2 BATTERIES. BUT IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS I KNOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT @35MPH ON A BUSY CITY STREET THE CAR DECELERATED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AND THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT, GIVING ME, THE DRIVER A BLANK SCREEN. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 5MPH. NO PREVIOUS INDICATION OF THIS HAPPENING. SPOKE WITH 2 VOLVO SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND BOTH PROVIDERS STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER CARS BEFORE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY DEFECT ESPECIALLY ON A BRAND NEW CAR. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON A FREEWAY GOING 70MPH AND THE CAR DECELERATES ALL OF A SUDDEN? VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CHILDREN AND I WILL DIE IN A CRASH GETTING REAR ENDED ON THE FREEWAY IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

ON TODAY, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN OUR 2016 VOLVO XC90 WHEN SUDDENLY THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL WENT BLANK AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED TO CRAWL AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, POWERED OFF THE CAR, RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. EACH TIME WE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR FAILED TO RESPOND AND SEEMED AS IF IT WERE GOING TO LOSE TOTAL POWER. AS SEMI-TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING BEHIND US, OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WAS IN GREAT DANGER OF BEING HIT. I CALLED VOLVO ON CALL AND THEY REMAINED ON THE PHONE WITH US UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO SLOWLY EXIT THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVE TO A SECURE...

WHILE THE CAR WAS RUNNING IN MY GARAGE AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR CLOSED, I BELIEVE I PUT IT IN REVERSE THEN WENT TO OPEN THE FRONT DOOR TO SEE IF MY DAUGHTER WAS TIGHTENED IN HER CAR SEAT, THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. I AM NOT SURE IF I PUT IT BACK IN PARK BUT AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, IT DIDN'T MOVE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND MY FEET AND BODY COMPLETELY OUT OF THE CAR, IT STARTED TO GO BACK AND ALMOST RAN ME OVER. LUCKILY I JUMPED BACK IN THE VOLVO TRUCK AND THE DOOR CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP WITH SOME RECALLS ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM A FEW WEEKS PRIOR. THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HAS SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND I BELIEVE THE LONG DELAY IN GOING BACK MIGHT HAVE...

AROUND 10.30 AM ON SUNDAY, 26TH JUNE 2016, I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 (NEAR STAMFORD CT) WITH MY FAMILY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF I-95 AND STARTED TO CRAWL AT 10 MILES/HOUR. WE WERE IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY A NUMBER OF VEHICLES WHILE I NEGOTIATED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY ON EXIT 9 AND PULLED OVER INTO A SIDE STREET. THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL OF THE CAR HAD BLANKED OUT. THE CAR COULD ONLY CRAWL AT ABOUT 10 MILES/HOUR. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO HIGHER GEAR EVEN IN MANUAL MODE. I CALLED THE VOLVO ON CALL AND THEY ADVISED ME TO SWITCH OFF THE CAR, EXIT THE CAR AND THEN RE START THE CAR AFTER FIVE MINUTES. I DID THAT AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I SOME HOW DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST VOLVO DEALERSHIP (STAMFORD VOLVO) WHICH WAS CLOSED ON...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN ECO DRIVE MODE WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION ENABLED. THE AUTO STOP KICKED IN AND STOPPED MY ENGINE, BUT WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE AUTO START DID NOT RESTART MY ENGINE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE. NO ALERTS OR WARNINGS POPPED UP - EVERYTHING REMAINED ON (HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, ETC), AND NOTHING APPEARED WRONG EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE/ACCELERATE. I WAS GOING AROUND 1MPH AT THIS POINT, AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PARKED, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE MANUALLY. I THEN DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO FIX B/C NO CODES SHOWED UP DURING THE DIAGNOSTIC, AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DOWNLOADED "SOFTWARE 1 AND 2" AND SAID...
