I'm hearing of this issue more.
A family members car does the same. Booked in for diagnostics at a Volvo dealer. Told no codes so nothing can be done.
This to me is a programming issue. The car is telling itself to shutdown in certain circumstances so there won't be any DTC's because the vehicle knew it was going to happen.
To give an example on this:
Park in a shopping centre car park, feather the throttle as if you are pulling out of a space with limited view. The car will stall.
Do the same with the start/stop turned off and it will not stall.
Dealer/Volvo answer: put your foot down more.
My reply: What a stupid answer. In a place with limited view in close proximity to other vehicles and pedestrians the last thing people should be doing is accelerating hard.
Hopefully Volvo will have a fix when more cases are seen and reported.
