XC90 problems

Well my mum has an XC90 which i understand is one of the very first in the country as i understand as it is a 52 reg so is now out of warrentee! We have had numerus problems with the car! The latest problem seems really expensive to fix, as they dont know whats wrong with it. The Parking brake has stopped working coincidently the day after a recall with the wheel bearings. Volvo has just rung up to say that it looks like they will have to strip out the inside of the car to get too the problem.

This is not the 1st problem we have had with brakes,a few hours after a service just before christmas the parking brake stayed on and warped the disks and the car had to be recovered, as it was only just out of warrentee then they fixed it without charging us even tho they still say it was just a coincidence!

So this is the end of XC90 ownership, Mum is thinking of getting a nw Tourage (sp)

Has anyone else had problems like this or is this the 1st major problem there has been?
