“On 4 separate occasions (3 city driving <35 mvph, and 1 hwy driving 60 MPH) my 2001 Volvo C70 CONVERTIBLE suddenly lost speed to <5 MPH. On 3 occasions, I was able to restart the car, although after several attempts, and still get to my destination and back home without problems. During the highway travel, which was on a very rainy evening, I was able to keep the car running , after difficulty restarting, at slow speed. And with a lot of prayers, finally got to a parking lot where I left the car overnight, called for a ride home, and another ride to pick it up the following morning. …”
