| Equipment problems |
I have had the same failure 3 times with this car. Started car up after it was sitting in parking lot on a very hot day. Within 1-2 miles started experiencing inability to roll windows up or down, car started losing power and instrument control panel went blank. I was able to get the car safety off the road. It would not start until the next morning. It has been towed twice. The last time to a Volvo dealer who could not replicate the failure; no codes were stored or found. The car is back to running great. . . Until the next time it dies.
I was driving along the highway and suddenly my car just quit running. . . In the middle of a busy highway. . . I didn't know what to do. . . 2 nice men pushed me over into the turn lane to be out of the road. . . My windows worked, lights and so I knew it wasn't the battery. . . It just wouldn't start. . . . Actually this had happened a couple of weeks before, however, after letting it sit about 5 min. It started up and I was able to get home. . . I thought maybe it overheated but none of the warnings went on. . . So I ignored it and wish I wouldn't have as we had to leave my car in a vacant lot off the highway for two days as it was the 4th of July holiday and no one was working. . . We went back to check to see it on July 5, and it started up. . . As I was driving home (July 5)Sunday. . . It quit again at a stop sign where I had no place to turn off. . . Of course, the steering locked when the car stopped. . . It was scary. . . I then waited for about 5 min. And it turned over and started again. . . I drove fast to get home (about 4-5 miles) and made it home. . . So relieved as it is very scary to be stuck in the middle of a busy highway and road. Luckily my husband was following me so I wasn't alone. . . I am over 65. . . I like my car but can't be burdened with a problem like this. . .
