All the vehicle lights will come on over the dash and the wheel locks then it shuts off while i am driving. this is so unsafe for my family. i am not sure why there is not a recall for my vin # when google clearly states that this is a hazard and that there are recalls for this problem.
This model is experiencing the same as recalls in similar models but for some reason isn't recalled. fuel system is faulty. leaking fuel and cracks in fuel pump. replaced with 4 pumps from volvo and now it is kicking out ecm code and blowing every fuel system installed.
