The Volvo S60 restarted in the morning. The car ran fine for a day and would not start again. Dealership stated that the antenna ring or key chip might be bad. The antenna ring was changed and the car would not start a week later again. The car was taken to dealer ship and placed on scanner. The car function normally for two weeks and did not start again.
