Early catastrophic engine failure. We bought this car new in 2004. Last year, at approx 35,000 miles, we had to replace the head gasket ($5000). Today I was told by our Volvo service center that the engine was blown and we needed a new one. ($12,500)
this car has always been gently driven, has extremely low mileage yet has demonstrated that it's engine is a lemon.
