| I'd like to add my complaint to the list of those already reporting the abrupt loss of all electronics, including windshield wipers and all dashboard gauges, during a rainstorm. my issue was also identified as a prematurely corroded central electronic module (cem) caused by a design flaw allowing water to access the cem connector. i'm shocked to find out volvo knew about this in 2005, well within the warranty period for most of these affected vehicles, and did nothing to correct or even alert their owners. i urge the nhtsa to revisit their investigation, and force a recall if volvo continues to refuse. i can assure you as a driver during this event, this is indeed a safety issue, and i hope we aren't waiting for enough injuries or deaths before you get to that obvious conclusion. | |||

| Car stalled twice at 65mph while on freeway. first incident was 24nov06, 2nd incident was 12 feb 07. on first incident all car functions completely died and went into limp mode after swerving to stop, and was towed to bellingham wa (king volvo) dealer for software upgrade on fuel pump. on 2nd incident car went into reduced engine performance after restart. i drove the car home 350miles although volvo suggested towing. i just traded the car in today on an acura as volvo wasn't interested in helping me beyond a $3k incentive towards a new volvo. *tr | |||
