I took my Volvo C70 into niello Volvo cars sacramento on March 24, 2022. My invoice is attached (xxx) recall 247 performed - tire pressure recall) cassandra at Volvo ordered a new sticker at that appointment. Can you send me the new sticker as niello Volvo sacramento CA never followed up. Label is 11v508000. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
My 2007 C70 stopped reading both of my key fobs at the same time. I was at walmart and when I tried to start the car it said key error try again. So I tried and I tried. Nothing. I called my roommate who came with my other key about 1 hour later. It was about 1:30 am by this time. The other key didn't work either. Also key error. My top is open and I have no choice but to leave my car exposed over night. I go back 9 hours later to try and start the car again. Nothing again. This time the key gets stuck in the ignition. I had to have the car towed to my house, and the top is still down . And neither key works. This is ridiculous that they can allow a key to be erased. It is very unsafe. I could have been in a situation in the parking lot where I needed to leave and wasn't able to leave. My life could have been at jeopardy.
While driving at highway speeds, passenger door suddenly comes unlatched. Doors are automatically locked when driving. The information system reports a door open, the interior lights flicker on and off with the door vibrating by the wind at 70 mph. Also, the window starts going up and down about a half inch like it would normally function when the door is opened for clearance. This has happened on a road trip, and was in a place where it was difficult to find a safe place to exit the highway, the door, after closing, appears to shut properly, and the lock seems to function. Then, when there is a bump or dip in the road, the door becomes unlatched again. This is very scary to have the door come unlatched for no reason at all. There was not a passenger on this trip, so it was not accidentally opened. There was a small dog with me, and she was terrified by the noise, and the window movement. I was terrified that my dog would go out the open door. There are other complaints of this happening to other owners, so it is not a rare occurrence. Volvo should issue a recall to repair the doors to prevent them from opening unexpectedly. Reference NHTSA id numbers 10680779 and 10616590.
Purchased new uniroyal tires for my car all have needed to be replaced in very short time tires suffer from rapid deflation for now reason. Tire dealer has blamed wheels air pressure ect . Three of the 4 wheels have be changed all have been inspected by a wheel repair service. There have never been a nail or road hazard involved. These tires simply do not preform correctly they loose pressure at any speed at any time. 12.
While driving either the passenger door or the driver door suddenly becomes unlatched even when locked and the information message system comes on saying passenger (or driver) door is open and cabin lights come on. I am required to pull over and resecure doors. This issue has escalated to a nearly daily occurance. This problem should be fixed by a recall as doors are not supposed to automatically come open on a 7 year old car that has never been in an accident. I have made an appt with the herb gordon Volvo dealer in silver spring MD for an assessment.
The doors open while driving. Even if they are locked. The information system gives a message drivers door open or passenger door open and the interior lights come on while driving. This happened to me recently 4 times while driving from kent, ohio to naples, florida. The doors were firmly closed and locked and hours later came open by them self. I went to the Volvo dealer in bonita springs and spoke to brian gatzki the assistant service manager. He told me the problem was in a door actuator and they were aware of this problem and he claimed this is a wear and tear item costing around a $1000 to repair. I asked what wear and tear could cause the doors to electronically open while driving. He had no reply. I also explained that this is a very unsafe condition and if there isn't a recall, there should be. I called Volvo also on 12-11-14 and spoke to lisa who also gave me the run around. I feel this condition is a common problem with theses cars and is an accident waiting to happen, can cause injury or death and should be repaired by Volvo at no cost to all affected owners. Owners who have paid for this repair should be refunded. This is a safety problem caused by Volvo and should be repaired by Volvo.
Dash warning light indicating open drivers door came on. Pulled to shoulder to check. Applied brakes and door came open. Previously light came on, opened and closed door and light went out. When drivers door came open, the retractable top was open completely.
