We leased our Volvo Xc90-t almost exactly 1 year ago to date from south county Volvo. Less than 3 months later, the car wouldn't start. They said that my wife must have left a light on; the battery was recharged and we took the car back. 2 months later, the car again would not start; again it was towed-back to the dealership. This time, they said the battery was bad. The third time they said there was bad switch which controls the lights and that was changed. On the fourth occasion, which incidentally occurred excatly one year later on July 7th, 2005, they (again) said we must have left a light on. . . No one can be that dumb, not even me!. I am fast losing my confidence in Volvo!.
