Bought this used car from a dealer a few days ago. I was driving and the car stalled close to a stoplight. Put the car in park and tried to restart the car. The car gave the error message IMMOBILIZER try again. Tried it many times and it would not start. After about 1hour, I tried it again and the car started and I was able to drive the remaining mile home. What would have caused this problem? I’m afraid to drive the car for fear of it stalling in the road and the same problem happening again.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Hot weather
How long has your 2008 Volvo XC70 had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Volvo XC70. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Usually these cars have issues when the car battery is at the end of its life I would confirm that your battery is functioning properly. This car likes to see a supply voltage over 13 volts. Other causes could be your remote, your charging system or the wireless system that communicates with your key fob. I would have a mechanic run diagnostics to see if the car has any trouble codes on the body modules as well as to check for proper voltage.
