WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 70 MPH, MY CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE AND TOTAL ELECTRICAL AND POWER FAILURE. QUITE LITERALLY, THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL AND POWER SYSTEM STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE VOLVO DEALER WHO CHARGED ME $1911 TO REPLACE A CIRCUIT BOARD ASSUMING THIS WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS ORIGINAL OCCURRENCE IT HAS BEEN REPEATED ANOTHER 3 TIMES, AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEED BY BOTH MY WIFE AND MYSELF. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY CALLED VOLVO BUT WAS TOLD IT IS NOT AN IDENTIFIED ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AND WHEN WE STOPPED TO GET OUT HER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS LOCKED SO I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO FIND A REASON FOR THE DOOR NOT ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE BUT WOULD OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IN THIS IS IF I WERE TO GET IN A ACCIDENT AND MY DAUGHTER NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR FROM THAT SIDE SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A PIECE OF PLASTIC BREAKS LEAVING THE HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE IN-OP. *TR
