| STEERING - HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM | |||
| 03/29/2005 | 2 | 03/25/2005 | |
| I have experienced two instances of power and steering loss while driving my volvo s80 down the road. the first instance occurred as i was slowing down to turn right, i lost all power and steering. fortunately during this incident i had turned the car just enough prior to losing steering to miss a pole. if there had been another car coming towards me, it could have resulted in a serious accident. the second incident occurred a couple of weeks after the first incident and it happened as i was going down the expressway and began slowing to stop at a stop light. the car lost power/ steering again and luckily this time there was no a car in front of me or i would have hit it from behind. both times this happened, i was able to roll the car to a stop and restart it with no problems. i reported this problem to the dealer but they were not sure what was causing this. *nm | |||
