On today, I was driving with my young children in our 2016 volvo xc90 when suddenly the instrumentation panel went blank and the car slowed down dramatically in the middle of rush hour traffic. The car started to crawl at approximately 5-10 MPH. We pulled over to the side of the road, powered off the car, restarted it and the problem still persisted. While depressing the accelerator pedal from a stop, the vehicle failed to respond and the vehicle stalled without warning. Each time we attempted to accelerate, the car failed to respond and seemed as if it were going to lose total power. As semi-trucks and other vehicles were traveling behind us, our family vehicle was in great danger of being hit. I called volvo on call and they remained on the phone with us until we were able to slowly exit the interstate and drive to a secure location. The approximate maximum speed that we drove was no more than 5-10 MPH. A tow service was dispatched to our location and the car was then towed to the volvo dealership. While this is indeed a safety concern, it was a very traumatic experience for me and my young children.
