Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)BRAKES COMPLETELY GAVE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON RT. 85 IN ATLANTA. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. CALLED VOLVO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY SENT A TOWING COMPANY. CAR IS STILL IN SHOP AND NOT YET DIAGNOSED. I'M TERRIFIED TO GET BACK INTO THAT CAR! *TR
THE ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL STOPS FOR NO REASON. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS (~20 TIMES SINCE I PICKED UP THE CAR), THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AS THE TRAFFICS SLOWS DOWN. THE CAR IS ALMOST AT A STOP (5-10 MPH) AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES COMES ON, THE CARS BRAKES HARD & STOPS AND THE PARKING BRAKE TURNS ON. THE ALERT "CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE" SHOW IN THE DISPLAY. THEREAFTER THE CRUISE WILL NOT ENGAGE. AFTER I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, THE CRUISE AGAIN WORKS AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO NOT PERFORMING AS ADVERTISED, THIS REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
