air intake tube fiasco S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be PS on  Mon Dec 3 14:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

After our 2000 model s80 broke down we were informed by our dealer that we must have struck something which broke the air intake tube under the car and subsequently pushed it into the serpentine belt which broke and flung itself into the timing belt which "jumped tracks?" and bent/broke the valves in the cylinder. Frankly I had never heard of such a catastrophe. My concern is that there may be a design flaw in the car causing such a horrendous outcome to a seemingly trivial problem (broken air intake tube) Let alone the fact that we had never hit anything or driven over anything. The car is used rarely and had only 12000 mile on it. I have asked that the Volvo rep see the car and he determined that the bill is our reponsibility ($3500) Does anyone have any suggestions. Is this a lemon law issue? Do I need a lawyer?
