Flatbeds called?

Battery punked out (Called Volvo-On-Call, they never showed up, finally jumped car to get it to dealer; replaced under the original waranty), the electrical portion of the ignition switch gave out, (dead in water, extended warranty), a truck tire chunk took out my radiator and intercooler (dead on side of road, not a reliability issue but a design issue) and a brake caliper froze 100 miles from home (warranty a distant memory).

The drivetrain (including the turbocharger) has been pretty good.

By "reliability" I mean that I think the windows should open and close, the sunroof shouldn't leak and the AC should work on a hot day. I think if Volvo designed the body, seats and drivetrain and got Toyota to design the electrical components and AC, they'd have the perfect car!

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." -- Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
