AROUND 10.30 AM ON SUNDAY, 26TH JUNE 2016, I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 (NEAR STAMFORD CT) WITH MY FAMILY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF I-95 AND STARTED TO CRAWL AT 10 MILES/HOUR. WE WERE IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY A NUMBER OF VEHICLES WHILE I NEGOTIATED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY ON EXIT 9 AND PULLED OVER INTO A SIDE STREET. THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL OF THE CAR HAD BLANKED OUT. THE CAR COULD ONLY CRAWL AT ABOUT 10 MILES/HOUR. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO HIGHER GEAR EVEN IN MANUAL MODE. I CALLED THE VOLVO ON CALL AND THEY ADVISED ME TO SWITCH OFF THE CAR, EXIT THE CAR AND THEN RE START THE CAR AFTER FIVE MINUTES. I DID THAT AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I SOME HOW DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST VOLVO DEALERSHIP (STAMFORD VOLVO) WHICH WAS CLOSED ON SUNDAY. DROPPED THE CAR OFF IN THE LOT, RENTED A CAR AND DROVE 200 MILES BACK TO BOSTON.
