While driving, the car jerks violently - the same thing happens when the car is idling (no jerk, only an "click" sound). It happens anytime but seems worse in the summer but I think it's hot-heat related. The other issues are related: -the interior lights usually come on -the instrument panel goes completely blank/lights go off/no available emergency lights -the windshield wipers make one wipe sometimes -the "rear passenger door open" warning comes on -the "brake failure stop safely" warning comes on and sometimes "check engine" light comes on. Not all of these symptoms occur each time. There are more severe and less severe incidents.
2004 S60 Volvo alarm system service required. I've owned more than 8 different cars older than this car, and they never had any issue with the alarm. It seems to be very common to replace the alarm module in this Volvo model because of the acid leak from the battery that causes a short in the circuit. And yes it will happen again after the replacement. What a ripoff.
