Without wishing anyone ill and being somewhat involved in the trade all I can say is "What did you expect from your Ford?"
I spend all day repairing broken down cars and to be honest, Volvo/Ford are one of the better marques. Considering the volumes sold the breakdown rate is very low. However, the quality of Volvo will not return until they return to being an independant Swedish brand or become Japanese owned. Don't assume that BMW ownership will help- they've got their own problems.
Please don't quote contradictory JD Power survey results to me as all they do is to expose the brand of car the type of person who enjoys filing out online surveys buys.
I'm out there all day, most days, doing the job- be thankful you don't own a Renault!!!
P.S. There's a reason I don't drive a new car- it's because old cars are more reliable!
