I got an error message with a exclamation mark in a red triangle and it said power system service urgent and shows a red battery symbol to. Problem is that it only shows up sometimes like one day it will show up turn off show up and turn off again other days wont turn on at all. I went to volvo service but they found nothing wrong because the light was not on that day. Please Help

If they would have done a scan I am sure there might be a fault code for the voltage regulator? You could be having an intermittant fault with the charging system? Next time the light comes on have the charging system checked right away.
