XC90 5-cyl

  • 150,000 miles
2003 Volvo XC90 engine cut off suddenly while driving ~70mph on the highway. Was lucky I was able to make it to the side of the road without being hit or stalled in the middle of the roadway. Dealer unable to diagnose the problem. I believe this could have potentially caused a fatal accident considering the speeds at which other cars were travelling and the potential to be stranded in the road. Car has been serviced regularly.
