1999 Volvo S70

Poor design decisions...
Someone decided to design this car so that if it recognizes a key that it thinks does not belong to the car start it, it turns off right away. I had several years of bringing it to different mechanics trying to figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. Finally a guy in Tillsonburg simply cleaned the ignition lines or something and I have been able to start it since then!
Other problems: The dashboard squeaks, the driver side window insulation came off so now you can hear the wind and some water leaks in. The back power windows got stuck and wouldn't go up so instead of paying hundreds of dollars to fix, I asked them to just fix them so they don't open. After I'd had the car about a year, the timing belt fell off, ruined the engine and I had to pay 3500 for a completely new engine. When the genius replaced the engine, the air conditioning stopped working. I've paid to try and get to the bottom of it to no avail. Maybe just this car is a particular lemon, but I just think it's bad design.
