2007 Volvo XC90 Electrical system Problems

“When restarting my car in an elementary school pick-up line, the key would not turn. The brake pedal felt stuck and the steering wheel was locked. I had to have it towed and because it could not be put into neutral, it had to be dragged onto the tow truck bed. The lock cylinder has failed. It is estimated that we will be without the car for 7 days.”

“On or about february 06, 2019, our 2007 Volvo xc-90 experienced a steering lock failure. That is the lock could not advance to the start position and consequently locked the key in the ignition switch. The lock would not advance.

“In a nutshell: at approximately 8:35 wednesday morning (october 28th), my Volvo XC90 spontaneously caught fire in the pouring rain. I was in the car at the time. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Toronto fire services and toronto police services both attended the scene. The most frightening part of this incident is the fact that it was completely spontaneous and very close to the gas tank!
