don't let this go - I had this problem with my 2001 and waited quite a few miles before insisting on it being checked. Have had to replace bushings on front and rear.

I went to start my s60 and the key turns but not all the way so the car won't turn over. Any suggestions?

Did you ever figure out what was wrong and was the problem ever fixed. I am having a very similar problem with my S60. It has been at the dealer for a month and virtually everything has been replaced on the vehicle and it still isn't fixed. I'm not sure what to do next.

Yes Yes Yes
It appears they finally got it to start. Hoy Fox Volvo El Paso tells me Volvo told them to change the injectors. I think it worked. Starts 1st try every morning so far been 1 week.
Took her for a test drive El Paso to Dallas and back. spent the night started fine and still got 29.8 MPG for the entire trip.

Hello-
 
New to this forum but this sounds like exactly what is going on with my 2006 S60 T5. My wife will drive it to work in the morning and then like clockwork at lunch it will sputter and not start and the second time it will start up.
 
I have been into our Volvo dealership going on 8 times (UGH!!!) and they have replaced the computer, putting in a new fuel siphon this time and replaced the antenna rings. I am going to call them right now to see if they have looked at the injectors (good call).
 
Here is a video of our issue.

This was the 3rd or 4th visit. the service adviser told me Volvo told them to change the injectors. They had the car for 1 week. It happen the first time when it had 1000 miles and they change the ignition switch, that seemed to work for about 8 months.
Good luck.

I have a 2003 s60 for two weeks. Twice, It could not start. Plenty of power to accessories unitl I turned the key to start, Then all accessories/lights turned off. No starter sound. First, time, I had it towed to the shop. When they took it off the wrecker, the car started. Yesterday, after about 20 minute of Off/On key switching, the car started. Is this similar to your problem? And, have you been able to get your problem identified or repaired. The Web reports many similar problems lasting from minutes to weeks.
