Consumer Description
OUR VOLVO HAD THE EXACT SAME IGNITION ISSUES AS HAVE BEEN CALLED OUT IN THE RECENT GM IGNITION RECALL. OUR CAR WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, LUCKILY WITH ANY ACCIDENTS. WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO VOLVO NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SERVICE, BUT THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, OTHER THAN TO SUGGEST THAT PERHAPS OUR KEY RING WAS TOO HEAVY. WE NEVER RESOLVED THE ISSUE. AS I READ ABOUT THE GM ISSUES IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WITH OUR CAR. JUST THOUGHT SOMEBODY MIGHT WANT TO KNOW. *TR
