Driving home last night battery warning light and charging fault error message.

Limped home, though pulling in to the drive just about every other light came on and the power steering stopped. Note to self, without power steering it's the car is almost un-drivable. Volvo assist were very helpful and arranged for the car to be dropped off at a dealership this morning and just waiting for them to get round to looking at it.

Had the car just three months today, with this and the hassle over getting the sensus update applied, I'm left wondering if this will be my first and last volvo :-(

Potentially just a loose connection. Alternator putting out correct charge, battery not receiving it. Happened to me.

Have faith, I owned the 'most unreliable XC the world has ever known' yet next one was nigh on perfect.

Good luck with it.
