On September 18 I was traveling down interstate 10 when my 2004 Volvo S60 completely stopped running while going 70 mph. I was unable to get the car out of the traffic (no power to drive to the shoulder). My car was completely useless. I called 911 and roadside assistance to get help before I was hit (I was unable to exit the vehicle due to moving traffic on either side of me). After 50 minutes I was hit in the rear. The vehicle was towed to bergeron Volvo. I was informed that the fuel pump had failed. There was no warning and the vehicle had just been in for service 1 month before. It only has 24,000 miles.
