The V50 T5 began to shake and tremble when started and placed in reverse. Driver thought the car had a flat tire. Inspected vehicle and shut car down. Turned engine back on and put in reverse. Limited power when pressing on the gas pedal. No turbo power. Pedal placed to floor and little to no speed. Vehicle trembled and had limited acceleration while being driven. Third time of turning vehicle on, the vehicle moved about 100-200 feet and stalled. Vehicle towed to fairfax Volvo at 11050 fairfax blvd. Fairfax Volvo found "several misfire fault codes. Cleared codes. Upgrade ECM with new software." As written on service invoice. The same vehicle had the same trembling and shaking while backing out on 01/04/2007.
