2008 Volvo XC90 V8 has been towed 3X in the past month. The battery has completely and inconsistently drained. They checked relay switches, fuses, alternator, starter, battery connections, etc. 3X in the shop! so fed up. Car is now in shop and I've read that Volvo is in a class action lawsuit for battery drain from sirius radio even if you do not have the subscription. They are charging me $135 to diagnose at Volvo right now. It hasn't been diagnosed as that is the problem yet, but the service manager is inclined to think that's what it is. Clearly they are aware of the problem. Also got stuck completely in drivers side seat belt and then it wouldn't work at all. Having door opening problems on driver side door and I'm just super frustrated. This has affected my business and seeing customers, etc.

Advised by service department that seat belts were replaced because locking mechanism tended to hang-up. However we did not qualify because we didn't request replacement within the warranty period. Vehicle has regularly been maintained by Volvo dealer and they were in the know if the belts were being recalled. We were not told.
