Maintenance/Repairs

My wife will go out to start her 2004 Volvo. The engine cranks but there is no fire. Lights work, battery fine, starter turning, but no fire in the engine. The Volvo dealer has tried twice to fix it. They believe that, for some reason, the car thinks it is being stolen and shuts down. When we try later (and I don’t know how many hours is necessary), it starts right up. Has 116,000 miles, has been and (except for this) continues to be a great car. We don’t want to get rid of it but I don’t want to trust its tempermentality when we need to rely on it. Any suggestions???
