If it's not turning over at all, nothing happens when the key is turned, no click, try having it jumped. If it starts and dies, then pull the altenator out, bring it to autozone or the like, where they'll test it for free. If it fails, and your battery is more than couple years old, go ahead and replace that, too. If it does nothing when jumped and the altenator is ok, put a socket on the crankshaft with a breaker bar and try to turn the engine, if it doesn;t turn, the engine seized. Otherwise, more testing is needed that would be too much to describe here.

1995 jeep wrangler just stops running without warning.

A bad crank sensor will shut the jeep off suddenly, while driving down the road, then restart later and it repeats over and over until you replace it.

1990 Jetta stopped suddenly without warning while driving.

Other possibilities are a blown ignition module, bad coil wire, or broken cam sensor (it's attached to the distributor). There are detailed tests for these in the Bentley, but your mechanic ought to be able to troubleshoot.

This is presuming it's really a no-spark failure. Ground or power faults can disable the computer, the fuel pump circuit can be open, etc.

Sounds like the alternator is going out the slow way.
Youre kinda lucky because almoat all alternators go out without warning.
Most Autozone shops or places like it will run a test for free.
Good luck,Gary

Have the dealer look for soft codes and to check the connections to the starter and the battery and to check the alternator for proper charging. Volvo alternators have a circuit inside of them that when it goes bad it will cause the car to stop running without warning.
