2005 XC90 reliability problems?

[cmn]

My 2005 XC90 just broke down for the third time. The last 2 have been
identical electrical issues. Just wondering if anyone else has had any
problems, or do I just have a lemon?

Has been a great veh for us so far. Got it early 2005. V8, winter package,
bi-xenon.

Have had it in shop for minor things, a driver's side door rattle, and the
oil cooler recall.

Will have it in at the 15K mile service (in April 06) to have rear wheel
bearings replaced. That's the big deal so far. They are growling, started
a couple months ago. I understand it's a common problem on some units.
Possibly also fronts, but most cases is rear from what I've read about on
the Internet.

Aside from that a good solid car. Like driving a cast iron bathtub full of
heavy cream.
