1999 Volvo S80 Owner Comments

S80 6-cyl

When vehicle is idling all lighting on the vehicle(interior and exterior) slightly dims every couple seconds. An annoyance the dealer(annapolis Volvo) says is an anomaly that is inherent in this model and cannot be fixed. I disagree and am confident that a $38K car can be made without flickering lighting. Dealer refuses to address this further. Calls to Volvo usa went unreturned. All of the 6 other cars I've owned don't have flickering lighting.
