Me and my partners safety was put at risk when the vehicle’s high pressure fuel pump went out, shut the car down, and left us stranded in the middle of two lane traffic. What was scarier was how the vehicle couldn’t be manually overridden to shift into neutral to push the vehicle to safety away from oncoming traffic, since the gear is electronic. The vehicle isn’t that old and that high on mileage, being only at 94k miles. After getting it towed (tow driver had to drag the vehicle up onto the bed because even they couldn’t do anything about it) to the dealer, because no one else but Volvo can touch it. This is without the manufacturer giving mechanics privileges to reprogram parts that needed to be replaced. On top of that, since there isn’t a dealer in my area around Columbia, MO, it had to be towed all the way to St. Louis, which was already bizarre as it is. After getting it repaired and the techs saying everything was good to go, it hasn’t been a week before something else happened. Upon trying to start the car today, the dash throws a number of warnings again. Upon seeing the warnings, I pulled out my scan tool and now tells me the low pressure fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and abs pump go out and I’m already frustrated and back into a situation with a vehicle that is already expensive as it is. Luckily everything popped up at home, because the vehicle throws itself into limp/bricked mode to where it won’t even start the engine. And because it’s a plug in hybrid, it was able to at least get the system going to read what’s going on compared to what was stated earlier when the battery was already depleted. Now I have to find a way to transport this vehicle again and I’m already having regrets of purchasing it in the first place. I just wanted a hybrid wagon that has all the cargo and efficiency without being an suv.
