Narrative description: #1: in early 2005, an intermittent problem began occurring with the ignition and starting of the vehicle. #2: upon further investigation through local volvo dealerships, the problem was identified as the immoblizer (antenna ring) which reads the computer chip within the key to determine if the correct key is being used to start the vehicle. Initially, the problem was intermittent but has become increasingly worse with an inability to start the vehicle.
