2000 Volvo, S80 very bad car, complaints never fixed by dealer hardly runs--this car is a lemon-pages required to list all problems auto transmission broke at 51,1000 miles, one month after dealer said all was okay. This model a real lemon--the worst running car I ever owned. Other problems; front bumper fell off when car had 1200 miles. Defective battery cable linkage caused intermintent stalling, motor does not run smooth and surges at low speeds. Poor winshield wipers that dealer can seem to fix. Interior controls break often, light bulbs are constantly going out--every light replaced at least once. Automatic transmission replaced "under warrenty" at 51,200--but must have been replaced with a rebuilt or used transmission--as it is very much louder and 'wines' when shifting--very loud. Car not worth the $36,250 that I would have paid new--luckly I am just leasing and it is finished this September. Also strange things in the electrical system, doors that won't open or lock by themselves. Abs brake light constantly going on. Car is a lemon with many design flaws, and dealer is powerless or refuses to fix, despite the fact that I took it in for service regularily to the same dealer. This is the second Volvo from same dealer, other was a 240dl (1988), a wonderful car. I will never buy or lease another Volvo--please warn others.
