| My volvo's engine started to sputter then died and lost all power. this occurred in seconds and left my two young children and i in a very dangerous, potentially deadly traffic situation. my gas gauge read 150 miles worth of gas left in gas tank. the volvo was towed to the dealership where it was found to have a faulty fuel pump and control module. both were replaced. *tr | |||
