I was driving down the highway and my vehicle completely shut down and the steering locked. I was able to put on the emergency signals and the big rigs behind me blew their horns. They were getting closer to me because I was decelerating at a rate that would have resulted in a colission. Fortunately I was able to coast into an emergency lane while they went whipping past me. The Volvo service manager stated that he had heard of a similar situation before. In an email to me he stated that "the pressure sensor was giving a faults reading, of excessive fuel pressure. When the pem saw the faults reading, it cut the fuel to the engine as it thought it was way over pressurized." I feel very fortunate that nobody was severally injured or killed.
