I have a Volvo XC60 and recently, the check engine light has been intermittently coming on and then disappearing. I've driven it long distances and haven't noticed any other symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions on what could be causing it?

Intermittent check engine lights can be tricky to diagnose. It could be due to a variety of reasons such as a loose gas cap, faulty spark plugs, or even a failing oxygen sensor. I would suggest starting with the simplest check - ensure your gas cap is tight. If the light still comes on, you might want to get an OBD-II scanner to read the error codes when the light is on. This will give you a more specific idea of what's causing the issue. Please remember, if the light is flashing, it's a more serious issue and you should get your car checked by a mechanic immediately. Let us know how it goes.
