2 Automatic Stability Control (asc) problem of the 2003 Volvo S80

Failure Date: 09/09/2003

2000 Volvo S80--the automatice stabilizing system and abs braking system failure lights come on intermittently. Our mechanic (Volvo expert, but not employed by a dealership) says this is a common fault in the s-80s when they reach 50,000 miles. The dealership is claiming it is a $1000 repair--because the car has 60,000 miles and is out of warranty. This appears to be a substantial software control design problem that should not be occurring and is quite dangerous unless it is repaired properly.
