"The software calibration for the fuel cutoff functionality in the engine control module is too sensitive," said NHTSA. "Sudden engine stall could occur, increasing the risk of a crash."
"The engine idle speed may drop, resulting in a sudden engine stall without any prior warning," it said. "If this condition occurs, the transmission control unit will enter a temporary protection mode in order to prevent damage to the vehicle's transmission. When starting the vehicle again, the driver can operate the vehicle safely home or to an authorised Volvo repair facility, but may experience a louder than usual transmission and a harder gear engagement."

How to change a car battery
Car batteries do not last forever, and it is most likely that you will need to replace a battery on a car you own at some time. 
Here is a typical layout, highlighting the car battery and battery clamp along with the red and black battery terminals.
Sometimes the car battery will have a cover over it so you cannot see the red and black terminals.
Most car batteries are clamped securely into place within the engine bay. These clamps will need to be removed in order the get the battery out.
Here are some examples ;
Bar runs across top of battery, with a nut at each end (probably 10mm).
Removing the bolts will allow the car battery to be lifted out.
All batteries have a lip around the base, the one above has one front and back.
The clamp holds on to this lip and is bolted to the battery tray shown underneath. Which battery do I need ?
You can walk into most shops and tell them the make, model and year of your car and they will be able to provide you with the correct battery.
You can do the same when you buy online, choose a reputable website and enter your car details and then you should get a price back.
Make sure that the online store is offering a guarantee on the battery.
Most car batteries have stickers on them normally stating the 'Amps' and
the 'Ampare Hours' ratings. You can always get this info off your old battery and cross check it against your new purchase.
Also, the 'owners manual' for your car or a Haynis Manuals should tell you what battery you need for your car.
and you will also be bending over, so if you have back trouble, be more careful and perhaps get someone to help you with the lifting.
TIPS
It is always best to get your battery changed if you are in any doubt about how well it is working. Get it changed before it completely dies and causes you loads of trouble.
Imagine getting stranded somewhere thinking ;
"now I wish I had gotten that battery changed".
As we said, most car batteries cost between £25 and £40, so the cost of one night out could ensure you continue with trouble free motoring.

IMPORTANT - never fit a smaller battery than was originally fitted by the manufacturer, it will not last and you will be asking for trouble.
For example, diesel engines normally need more current from the battery to start the engine than petrol engine cars.
WARNING - BATTERIES ARE HEAVY !!For example, diesel engines normally need more current from the battery to start the engine than petrol engine cars.
and you will also be bending over, so if you have back trouble, be more careful and perhaps get someone to help you with the lifting.
TIPS
- You can use normal vaseline on your battery terminals to prevent corrosion instead of lithium grease. Vaseline works just as well and will keep your terminals dirt and corrosion free meaning better conduction.
- Always buy your battery from a reputable outlet that offers a guarantee, normally lasting for 1 to 2 years. This means that if the battery fails within that time, you can it back with your receipt and get a replacement (free). I strongly recommend a guarantee as I have had a new battery fail on me and took it back to the shop for an exchange.

CAR AND DEEP CYCLE BATTERY FAQ
Best of Car Insurance
Car insurance is very important because the risk of getting hurt in an accident or hurting somebody else is very high and utterly unpredictable. What you can predict is ensuring yourself with the best car insurance that can cover the financial expenses resulting from such an unpleasant happening. As with any other type of insurance, you need to carefully check with as many companies and offers as possible before you decide. Moreover, you need to keep in mind that you are not only ensuring your life but someone else’s as well.
A car insurance package has a few, very important coverage clauses regarding liability, collision and comprehensive coverage.
The liability coverage is necessary for a basic car insurance policy. This refers to the situation when you are at fault for the accident. The coverage will pay for the damages that you have inflicted on the other party involved in the accident, wages or medical bills. It may be unpleasant, but you need to consider all possibilities, even causing serious accidents, with multiple damages and grave bodily injuries to the others. In this case, it is unlikely that the company will cover all expenses and you may be left out in the open. That is why it is highly recommended to consider additional coverage, which may entail a higher premium but, this way, you will be secured. You can never be too careful when other people’s lives are affected at your fault. Collision coverage will finance the repairs to your own vehicle and it is the most expensive of all policies. Comprehensive coverage will compensate the damages to your vehicle in case of an unlucky accident. This is where other factors come into play. The expenses and the premium will differ according to the age of the vehicle, the age of the driver, the people that usually drive the car (one or more). The younger the driver, the higher is the premium. On the other hand, if the car is older, the premium will be lower. The comprehensive coverage is deductible which means that the insurance company will finance you according to the actual worth of the car at the time of the accident.
You will find the best car insurance by researching the internet which is full of information on insurance quotes from professionals that you can contact by phone or schedule a meeting with. Online, you can fill out forms with the details of your car insurance profile. Your needs will be analyzed and, within 24 hours, you will receive an answer with compared prices and offers of various insurance companies that fit your requests.
Another way to get closer to the best car insurance is by reading the online forums where buyers and car owners will post their complaints about certain companies and you will know what to avoid. There are fewer who will post about their satisfactory insurance policy but all these testimonials supply valid information, as they come from practical experience. Furthermore, you can ask the repair shops that deal with the insurance companies because they know best the complaints and the claims settled by them. You should take into account these ratings when looking for the best car insurance.
Be careful about the tricks some sites employ: some of them are affiliated with insurance companies or are created by the companies themselves; therefore they are unable to provide you with impartial advice.
Also, if you have other types of insurances (health, dental, home insurances) at a certain company, check if they offer car insurance as well. They can provide discounts for existing clients.
