problem #2

S60

  • 99,000 miles
Driving 2001 Volvo S60 2.4T at 30 mph, stepped brakes and they locked up (car has ABS) causing complete loss of control. Went into spin and crashed over curb, breaking both passenger side rims and gauging rear tire. Had to be towed; one week later, car still in shop. Mechanic can find no reason for this...no fault codes on computer, fluids, wires, etc all fine.
