problem #1

Jun 202011

V50 5-cyl

  • 48,000 miles
1. the car, Volvo V50 2005, was driven in a busy highway at 65 mph suddenly the speed dropped to 25 mph quickly. The dashboard started showing warning reduced engine performance. This was very dangerous when I had my children in the car in a busy highway. I searched in the web, reduced engine performance happens a lot in Volvo vehicles. 2. second instance, the car stalled out when the car was at 25 mph. 3. all the problems were related to malfunction engine control module (emc) sensor and fuel pressure regulator.
