Description of the problem	I bought a 2001 volvo s40 from tom blevins owner of popples garage. The odometer quit working as soon as i bought it. The key would get stuck in the ignition and would have to be left in the ignition. The drivers side window got stuck in the down position because of a faulty controller. The hood hydraulic arm that holds the hood up when it's raised does not work and has to be propped up with a wood block. Headlights and turn signals do not work. There are more problems to discuss but i am out of space.
