| I drove in severe down pour yesterday and experienced an yellow error message followed by an electrical short and anti skid message. i reduced my speed to 50 mph on the interstate and proceeded home. after stopping the lights would not turn off and i immediately took it in for service where the technician advised me that this was a problem with water getting into the engine compartment wiring harness and causing the central electronic module to short ciruit and rust. this repair alone costs over $5000 due their defective design and improper sealing of important electrical components. i avoided any possible accidents by driving slowly but do not feel safe were i to travel in inclement weather in the future. i do believe that the electrical system would short circuit leaving me without essential power and possibly hurt or stranded. i can see from your database that an investigation was completed on 11/22/2010 under id pe10025 citing no real safety issues. i disagree and would encourage you to revisit this issue immediately. volvo has conceded to replace the cem ($753.52) unit but not the engine compartment ($3034.71) that houses it, therefore owners like myself will continue to experience the same problem and real danger from it. | |||
