3 Air Conditioner problem

Failure Date: 12/01/1997

There have been numerous electrical failures with the car on a routine basis. There have also been oil leaks, gasoline leaks, air conditioner failure and seat belt failures. The car has been repaired almost on a monthly basis since the beginning of ownership. This past week, it has been repaired three times for electrical problems related to the seat belts and air bags. The Volvo dealerships have made the necessary repairs and warranties have paid most of the costs, the amount of time this car has spent being serviced is totally unacceptable. Even the Volvo dealer here in florida (plantation Volvo) suggested we research the florida lemon law. The law does not apply to us because the car was purchased in massachusetts. We would appreciate any assistance in getting Volvo's attention that this particular car has major flaws, especially electrical.
