Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2000 Volvo S40

This happened yesterday 1/28/16 and in april 2015 (the dealership "fixed it" but it didn't work!!!!) yesterday, while driving home from work, the car did the scariest thing i've ever experienced while driving. all the lights on the dash, all the warning lights flashed several times and the car came to a complete standstill. no power at all. it didn't slow to a stall, no weird sounds...it just literally stopped in it's tracks. right there, in the road. all of a sudden my car shut off. when i say shut off i mean the headlights, dome lights, engine....anything that was electrical completely shut off. this would include the steering wheel locking up. imagine driving on the freeway/highway in the middle of the night with traffic around you and your lights going out, steering wheel locking and having no way to control the vehicle. this could have killed me and my baby. last night, i has nightmares all night long of that happening on the freeway or the trestle with my baby. where i drive frequently. had that have happened there, i could have been killed especially if a semi truck was behind me, as is often the case. they can't stop that fast. most people can't stop that fast going 55-75 mph. i had been on the trestle about 15 minutes before it happened. and i am petrified to think what could have happened since i often have my baby in the car. the car is at the dealership in service. they cannot find anything wrong with it. the check engine light didn't come on, so there are no codes. they cannot get it do it again.
