2018 Volvo XC60 electrical complaints

Filed Jun 28, 2018 · Electrical, Engine · 1,271 miles · CA

I bough the car in april 2018 and in june 2018 with the car having 1200 miles on board, while I was on a trip 85 miles away from home, I've experienced an engine failure. After a stop on the trip, I proceeded to start the car and after a few seconds of running it, a ticking noise coming from the engine could be heard. ( it sounded as if the engine wasn't receiving gas). Within a minute the car completed stopped. The engine turned off on its own. I proceeded to try to turn the engine on a couple of times but the car wouldn't come on. At the third attempt the car started. As soon as I started to drive, the check engine light came on and stayed on. After calling the volvo dealer service department to schedule an appointment for service, I was advised that it would be unsafe to drive the car 60 miles to the nearest available dealer. I contacted volvo on call but because the closest dealer was already closed and a loaner car was not available, the car was towned the next day. The mechanic determined that the sensor to the fuel pump needed to be replaced. I was blessed that the car didn't stop while driving on the freeway or any other road with other cars or people around since the consequences could have been deadly.
