The Volvo S80, manufactured between 1998 and 2016, is a flagship executive sedan brand introduced that gave the intended brand a sense of refinement in the Swedish style of luxury, high-technology safety systems, and all-purpose performance that spanned through two families. The original P2-based first generation changed the design direction of the Volvo S80 towards allegedly flowing lines, vertical taillights, and electronic multiplexed CAN-bus-based architecture, which coordinated more than 40 computer modules. Its safety features were the industry's prime with SIPS (side impact protection system), WHIPS (whiplash protection system), and dual-threshold airbags, curtain airbags, as well as a three-stage collapsible steering column. The second generation of the Volvo S80 was developed based on the EUCD/P3 platform and featured a transverse 4.4L V8 engine as the middle one that developed into a 315 PS power output with AWD, as well as other engines such as the 3.2L inline-six, 2.5 turbo, and D5 diesel. Some of the technological advances were adaptive cruise control and active Bi-Xenon headlights, along with the Volvo personal car communicator (keyless entry, heartbeat sensor). Safety always took over the centre stage with the Volvo S80 receiving IIHS top safety pick in the years 2007 and 2008. Subsequent designs had added sensus infotainment, city safety, and Drive-E 4-cylinder engines with 8-speed automatics, providing better efficiency without taking away any luxury. The Volvo S80 was the top example of the company's engineering in its manufacture run, as it combined flagship convenience with safety innovation and the up-to-date technology.

There are problems that are prevalent on malfunctioning systems of the Volvo S80. One of the usual areas of complaint is the S80 transmission system. Its improper shifting is characterized by delayed gear engagement and hard downshifting. This might result in such symptoms as a failing S80 transmission control module or outdated software. Change the transmission fluid regularly to prevent further inconveniences and issues. Also, the suspension of the Volvo S80 may have issues, especially with the front upper strut mount support. Such mounts might become worn out and this causes loud noises when traversing uneven terrain. Lastly, there is the impact of the S80 electronic throttle module (ETM) on the electrical system that has a notable failure rate. Due to such concerns Volvo offers a 10-year or 200,000-mile warranty on the ETM. By addressing such issues at the right time, it will help improve the performance and reliability of the Volvo S80 so that there is smooth maneuverability along the road. All these systems need to be periodically diagnosed and be in a condition of operation; their malfunctions can cause serious issues.
