Immobilizer Problems

Has anyone been having big time problems with this technology.  My 03
V70 wouldn't start on the 10th floor of a parking garage.  After
leaving it overnight (with the expectation we would have to roll it
down 10 stories since the flat bed tow truck wouldn't make it in the
garage) the car started the next morning.  We took it to a local shop
who said it probably wasn't correctly in gear.  That afternoon, again
it wouldn't start.  A mobile tech from Volvo came out and he got an
immobilizer error message. When he replaced the steering column ring,
we got another electronics error message and couldn't get the car
started.  Again we left it overnight with the prospect of towing the
car to the dealer the next day.  Of course with the tow truck there the
car started the next morning and we drove it to the dealer.  Of course
the car has started every time the dealer has tried it so we're now
faced with the prospect of having a car that will fail us but we don't
know when.

Since you state that the car starts up you still should get the car to
the dealer to see what codes are set & to have the corrective repairs
performed

  "*-344-*Never Forgotten"
Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
long as I live,
nor should any American.
