Returned to Volvo. Also had steering wheel that shakes at higway speeds, alarm that went off while driving, & wouldn't start, remote door opener doesn't always work, service engine light flickered on & off -- said it was an emissions problem.

Car dies without warning at high speeds and low speeds, apparently Volvo knows that there is a bad computer chip in many of the cars but does not admit to it because it costs $800 to replace the chip. I found this out from another Volvo driver!.
