And again! Travelling at about 30mph and approaching a car parked half on/half off the pavement my car decided to slam on the brakes. The car behind me came very close to hitting me. This is dangerous. Please, Volvo, let me make the decisions when I'm driving.

I'm going to end with neck injuries from the number of times my MY24 B3 slams on the brakes when I'm reversing - slowly - up my driveway. It seems to think plants in my garden or the neighbour's are going to leap out behind me and jams on the brakes. There is a good half metre either side of the car...

Th B3 Plus MHEV I ordered in the summer was a factory order and was delivered in six weeks, so you might have it for Christmas.

I think I saw a "fair use" clause while browsing through my AAOS car's system menus. Might be worth look.

As eugen61 recommended, change the battery as the first step - it's a lot cheaper than asking a dealer to investigate and takes a minute.

Thank you.

A common problem, I wonder? Anyway, I've just been out in the car and normal service has resumed.

Indeed! Bring back analogue car systems! (I spent 36 years working in the computer industry and have a healthy suspicion of the things .)

Set off this morning and noticed that my XC40 B3 had gone into "silent mode" - no indicator clicking, no radio, no satnav voice. I'm hoping it gets its voice back after leaving it to sulk for half an hour.

Thanks!
