For used car buyers like myself, you get Mercedes comfort at a Honda price, but they're not reliable

2004 Volvo S80 T6 review from North America

"Most unreliable car I have owned in 35 years"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had continual problems with the car stalling, starting when the car was 3 years old and 50,000 miles. Over a 2 year period, the car has been in the shop 6 times costing over $2,500. The Volvo dealer doesn't appear to be capable of identifying the problem and fixing it.

General comments?

Continual stalling is a significant safety problem.

The competence of the dealer service personnel is questionable.
