Automatic Transmission problem #1

2010 Volvo S80 total systems failure on the highway. Volvo dealer replaced the computer. The computer had turned off the fuel pump, causing all systems to fail. This could have been a major accident. Two other friends with the same model Volvo report similar failures.

Power Train problem #2

My wife and I have been dealing with orange low level oil light coming on between oil changes, in my 2010 Volvo S80, for a couple of years now. On occasion, the red light has appeared as well if I don't add oil for my wife. There is obviously an oil consumption issue that neither my dealer nor corporate have been helpful with resolving. I have had the "oil consumption test", but frankly I am tired of the run around because I live too far to keep having to prove that there is a problem and being told by the service person that it is within spec. This is a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. The tip on my exhaust clearly gives an indication of the burning of oil. What can I do to get them to fix this. I have even found a technical journal ref no. 24643 (oil consumption) that speaks on my exact problem.
