Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I owned a 1991 volvo s60 sedan and i understand you are investigating this car. from time to time as i drove it, it would unexpectedly loose speed and power for a few seconds and then resume. it never fully stalled out. i had mentioned this at a service time for the car but nothing wrong was uncovered. recently my daughter was driving the car on interstate 5 south of la when the car engine ceased functioning while she was driving in the hov lane. fortunately the driver was able to coast to the shoulder through traffic without getting hit. the easily could have been hit and she could have died and we never would have known it was a vehicle failure. the car was towed to a dealership where i was told they eventually diagnosed a "failed fuel pump". i have no validation of this. i did not want to drive this car again and it was lease-end so i traded the car in that very day for a new car. *nm
