WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IN UNFAMILIAR AREA AND DARK, THE CAR EXPERIENCED COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL POWER. THE SHUTDOWN WAS INSTANTANEOUS WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING THAT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WAS LOOMING. THE DRIVER WAS WITHOUT ALL LIGHTING, POWER ASSIST BRAKES OR STEERING. THIS ISSUE WAS GREATLY COMPLICATED BY NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY VISIBLE TO OTHER DRIVERS, PROMPTING SEVERAL LAST MOMENT EVASIVE MANEUVERS WHILE EXITING THE ACTIVE LANES. INITIALLY, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO ATTEMPTS TO START OR TO GET LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. EVERYTHING HAD APPEARED TO RESET, AS IF CAR HAD BATTERY DISCONNECTED AFTER SERVICE. THIS APPEARS TO ME AS A REPEAT OF THE COMPLAINT FILED ON THE 2007 VOLVO S60 DATED 7-2-2014, WHERE THE OWNER REPORTED ?COMPLETE AND TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE? FOUR TIMES IN ABOUT A YEAR. VOLVO WAS NOTIFIED THE NEXT MORNING OF THIS NEW EXAMPLE OF THEIR HORRIFYING SAFETY
