I have had a worrying and potentially dangerous fault with
my V50 1.6 diesal (2008, 4,000 miles).
On two occasions while driving the car on a motorway/ dual
carriage way at 60-70mph, the engine has lost all power and
the car slows to a crawl, on both occasions It has been extremely
dangerous and only by luck have we avoided being hit by the car/truck
behind.
When this happens the Anti-skid warning light comes on and a message
reads urgent service required. Stopping and re-starting the engine resets
it but only for a matter of minutes before the same thing happens.
We took the car to a Volvo garrage last month and after 2 days the car was
returned, initially we received no paperwork and only after requesting this
was a copy of the invoice sent which says 'checked dtcs ecm 2500 low pressure
checked fuel lines and connectors erased dtcs and road tested-ok'
This fault has now recurred today and again was potetially very dangerous
at 70mph on a by-pass with no hard shoulder-the car has been now been taken
to the local Volvo garrage.
Anyone else had this problem?, and considering the car is less than 12months old
and has only done 4,000 should i request a replacement? (it is a private lease car).
Both myself and my wife have lost confidence in a car we initially chose
for safety as we have a baby.
Any help suggestions gratefully received,
