This car I bought on February 1, 2003 has been an amazing pain in the hind parts. It's now February 18th and I have been able to 'joy' ride in this car a total of 3 times. The balance has been in the shop, or waiting to go into the shop. Idle problems, surging, emissions errors, extra lights blinking on the dash, etc. Now the final straw. My wife wanted to drive this one while we went out for dinner. About 3 miles down the road we heard a clunk. We looked at each other and she said, what fell off? Got to the restaraunt and lo and behold the left front parking/turn lamp had jumped out of its place and was hanging by the wire. Enough!! After owning a 240 for 15 years (still have it) I thought an S80 would be a dream car. Not so, it's a nightmare car. Now the good news, the dealer has agreed to take the car back and give me all my money back. Can't wait until Thursday, February 20th when the car hauler comes and I see this car leaving my neighborhood. Unbelievable this one. It drives absolutely wonderfully on the open road, but has so many other problems. Well, I ramble. Sorry Volvo made this one and I got tangled up in it. Back to the 240 Brickboard page for me. See you on the 'other' pages.
