New Volvo suffers total brake failure
« on: 25 May 2019, 14:41:34 »
Entertaining letter is today's Telegraph Money section about a new Volvo XC90 suffering complete brake failure while at speed on a motorway. Driver's wife sent the Telegraph video of him stamping on the brake pedal, with no apparent effect. Fortunately traffic was light and driver brought the car to rest without accident. Volvo examined the car and advised the driver 'the fault was caused by a part not being put in place during construction at the factory.'

After negotiation money changed hands, and now he is looking at a BMW or a Land Rover.
