While driving, computer screens all went black and engine shut down. if it had happened 1 mile prior, would have been going 50-55 on a curvy two lane road and would have resulted in serious injury or death. towed to dealer awaiting results.
Started experiencing high oil usage with no visible leaks, about 1 quart in 500 miles. it seems from research and some volvo service bulletins this is reoccurring issue. volvo will only does some repairs as a good will basis even through this is a serial defect. service the 36k was by the dealer and all other service per manufacture recommendations and vehicle scheduled service protocols.
The engine compartment was destroyed by a fire. the car was parked and unoccupied when a doorman noticed the problem and called the fire department. sffd extinguished the fire.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 volvo s60. while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, it stalled without warning. the contact was unable to restart the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to subaru of melbourne (located at 4340 w new haven ave, west melbourne, fl 32904, (321) 768-8020) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the starter needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 49,999.
By default, the auto stop/start function is engaged every time you start the 2015.5 vovo s60. the car has about 1,800 miles and was picked up at the end of august, 2015, leased as new. my wife was stopped at a traffic light, on a relatively flat road. the car turned off the engine using the auto-stop/start. when she took her foot off the brake and put it on the accelerator, the car turned off completely. the dash turned off. she had to put on her hazard warning lights, put the car into park and press the stop/start button to start the car. she then was able to put it back into drive and continue. this is not how this is supposed to function. this represents a very serious problem that could result in someone getting rear-ended or not being able to accelerate from a stop in an emergency situation--imagine if an ambulance, firetruck or police car was coming through and you had to move through an intersection or to the side of the road but the car died?
