MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AND WHEN WE STOPPED TO GET OUT HER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS LOCKED SO I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO FIND A REASON FOR THE DOOR NOT ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE BUT WOULD OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IN THIS IS IF I WERE TO GET IN A ACCIDENT AND MY DAUGHTER NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR FROM THAT SIDE SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A PIECE OF PLASTIC BREAKS LEAVING THE HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE IN-OP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IN UNFAMILIAR AREA AND DARK, THE CAR EXPERIENCED COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL POWER. THE SHUTDOWN WAS INSTANTANEOUS WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING THAT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WAS LOOMING. THE DRIVER WAS WITHOUT ALL LIGHTING, POWER ASSIST BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS ISSUE WAS GREATLY COMPLICATED BY NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY VISIBLE TO OTHER DRIVERS, PROMPTING SEVERAL LAST MOMENT EVASIVE MANEUVERS WHILE EXITING THE ACTIVE LANES. INITIALLY, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS TO START OR TO GET LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. EVERYTHING HAD APPEARED TO RESET, AS IF CAR HAD BATTERY DISCONNECTED AFTER SERVICE. THIS APPEARS TO ME AS A REPEAT OF THE COMPLAINT FILED ON THE 2007 VOLVO S60 DATED 7-2-2014, WHERE THE OWNER REPORTED ?COMPLETE AND TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE? FOUR TIMES IN ABOUT A YEAR. VOLVO WAS NOTIFIED THE NEXT MORNING OF THIS NEW EXAMPLE OF THEIR HORRIFYING SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL VOLVO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THE ISSUE COULD BE DIAGNOSED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND I GAVE THE SERVICE ADVISER REFERENCE NUMBERS FOR BOTH THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH VOLVO AND THE NHTSA FOR THE COMPLAINTS I FILED. ADDITIONALLY, THEY WERE GIVEN THE INFORMATION ON THE PRIOR COMPLAINT DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER 1 DAY IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT, PROBLEM CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED. OTHER THAN AN ISSUE WITH CODE/CODES, RELATING TO FUEL PRESSURE, THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE INDICATION OF WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS INSTANTANEOUS COMPLETE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE. CURRENTLY, THE TECHNICIAN IS EMAIL CORRESPONDING WITH ?PEOPLE IN NJ? TO TELL HIM ?WHAT THEY WANT HIM TO DO? OUR CAR HAS 99K MILES AT TIME OF FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 70 MPH, MY CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE AND TOTAL ELECTRICAL AND POWER FAILURE. QUITE LITERALLY, THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL AND POWER SYSTEM STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

DRIVING CAR AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET ON. CAR DECELERATED AND DOWN SHIFTED THROUGH EACH GEAR AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES. THERE WAS ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE SAME PARAMETERS BUT THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ITS OWN AND WHEN SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL THE ENGINE RAN TO REDLINE. PULLED THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WENT IMMEDIATELY TO REDLINE. AFTER THAT THE CAR RAN FINE FOR 2 DAYS THEN THE DECELERATION ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

I PULLED OUT FROM A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN STREET WHILE IT WAS RAINING. I THOUGHT THERE WAS ENOUGH OF A BREAK IN TRAFFIC TO SAFELY PULL OUT, BUT WHEN APPLYING THE THROTTLE WITH THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED, THE WHEELS SPUN FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE I LIFTED OFF THE THROTTLE. BECAUSE MY CAR HAD PARTIALLY ENTERED THE LANE WITH NO ROOM TO BACK UP DUE TO A VEHICLE BEHIND, THE ONCOMING VEHICLE HAD TO SWERVE AROUND MY CAR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND MENTIONED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL DID NOT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. THIS WAS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL (ABOUT 8,000 MILES PRIOR, MY CAR COULD NOT GAIN TRACTION WHILE CLIMBING A WET PARKING GARAGE RAMP). THE TECHNICIAN FOUND A FAULTY BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THE FAULTY SENSOR CAUSED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL TO BE OFF-LINE SINCE. I AM WONDERING WHY MY CAR DID NOT ISSUE ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT THESE TWO SAFETY FEATURES WERE OFF-LINE. ACCORDING TO THE SITUATION DESCRIBED TO ME, THE COMPUTER KNEW THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR, SO IT DISABLED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL IN RESPONSE. *TR

ON OCCASION, I WILL LOSE BRAKE PRESSURE AND STOPPING STRENGTH/ABILITY WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON A SLIGHT UPHILL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP.
