This car has bricked itself in my garage twice in as many months. It is a Plug in hybrid and is plugged into power the entire time it breaks. This problem was preceded by my alarm randomly going off for 1 second and then stopping. This alarm problem just sounded off again a few minutes ago (less than a week from getting my car back from a week long stay at the dealership) I go camping and hiking and this car is totally unacceptable in how unreliable it is. The number of T8 volvos with similar issues... you can't pay 70k for a car you can't rely on. It's a year old. Unacceptable.
