I was in a demo xc40 recharge while waiting for new car to arrive
The car died unexpectedly while driving
Nearly caused an accident
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yikes! No. But once I couldn't get it started for over half an hour.

Perhaps it had not rec'd the Recall that was in place to remedy that issue.

I was thinking the same thing but can’t get an answer from the dealer which I guess is my answer

I made sure that my dealer was aware of this recall and they confirmed it was fixed. I told them I was very concerned about the possibility of losing power while driving. Then I confirmed there was no outstanding recall.

No response
Salesperson wondered why I was concerned
Definitely something for other owners to keep an eye out for

Sales manager says it was an electrical system failure
It’s not unexpected I suppose but yet a bit disheartening to have a new 60k car die unexpectedly in the middle of a highway with wife and baby onboard
I hope Volvo keeps ahead of this otherwise I predict some bad outcomes/poor press in the future
