When I drive my car it stalls out on me all the time.. I am an 88 year old woman who has one car for myself my great grand daughter who is 15 and my son who is 50. This is extremely scary because I have to get on highway 50 to get to any stores. It has stalled out on me 4 times in one trip before and there are times when it can take over an hour to restart, other times it may take a few minutes. I am desperate for some help. By me using me own car I am endangering not only my family but others. Can you please help me.

I am 88 years old and depend on this vehicle ( our only vehicle) as my transportation for myself my son and my 15 year old great grand daughter. More times than I care to remember this car has stalled out on route 50, where I was traveling 50 to 55 miles an hour. I live about 1 hour away from ocean city, Maryland. Each time is terrifying. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes to restart and then there are times where it has taken over an hour. The latest event was 6/14/2017. I have had this car for a year. This problem only occurs when in motion. There have been a few times when it did not start for a while but it is terrifying when it stalls out on the highway.

My Volvo just shut off in traffic on rt 95 in DC. The check engine light came on and vehicle would not start. I researched the recall for Volvo fuel systems and the dealer said I was not in the recall even though my year, state and I had the exact problem. Very frustrating.
