Sudden Loss of Power while driving S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be OldVolvoDriver on  Thu Apr 30 19:09 CST 2015 [RELATED]

While driving home tonight in my 2000 S40, my car lost ALL power very suddenly. Thankfully this happened in a parking lot NOT the freeway I was on earlier. I'd started the car, pulled out of the parking spot, drove through the parking lot and suddenly the dash lights all flashed, and the care went completely dead. I tried starting it and the dash lights would flash, but no cranking sound or anything.

This was SO SCARY. This car was bought as an upgrade to my old 1984 Volvo.

I called the Volvo dealership and they just said they have no clue what it could be and to tow it in.

Anyone have experience like this with a Volvo? I've driven only Volvos for years and have NEVER had this happen. I'm freaking out.
