I am from Australia. Volvo November 2000 XC. 60,000 miles ( 100,000 KM ). We had a check engine light and ETS light appear over 14 months ago. The car had to be towed 400 miles to the dealership. The car was repaired, new module, Volvo "kindly" let me pay half because it was only just out of warranty. 8 weeks. The car broke down in peak hour traffic in front of the dealership when I picked it up. They towed it and two days later I picked it up again. Exactly the same result. 12 months later the car has had a check engine light on permantly. Slow acceleration, 7 trips to the dealer, always the light returns within 30 miles. This time I was travelling on business for 4 weeks, they have had the car and fixed it... except that when I picked it up and test drove it the car broke down with the Volvo dealer manager in it.

The car is back at Volvo, registration cancelled, they are " flying an engineer from interstate " . I have cancelled my order for an XC90. Twice now. I will not buy Volvo and my lawyer is sorting out the mess.
