Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2000 volvo s80--the automatice stabilizing system and abs braking system failure lights come on intermittently. our mechanic (volvo expert, but not employed by a dealership) says this is a common fault in the s-80s when they reach 50,000 miles. the dealership is claiming it is a $1000 repair--because the car has 60,000 miles and is out of warranty. this appears to be a substantial software control design problem that should not be occurring and is quite dangerous unless it is repaired properly.*ak
