Front driver door latch malfunctioning. There was a recall on these, but does not include my VIN number.
Yesterday I took my one year old granddaughter to north carolina, which is an hour and a half drive away. We had breakfast with family members and I loaded her into the back seat. When I closed the door it looked as if the door closed, but as I began to drive, the door swung open. I attempted to close the door again, and the latch would not connect to the hook inside of the driver side rear door. I ended up needing to have my son sit in the back seat and hold the door closed the entire ride home (an hour and a half) to make sure that the door would not open again. I am currently driving my "new" car with a ratchet strap going from door to door to hold the door closed so that I can go to work. I found information stating that there was a recall on the Volvo S60 (2017) but when I enter my VIN nothing displays. I just bought the vehicle in February and the dealership is telling me that this will cost me $450 to repair on my max care warranty. Why? when the vehicle had a recall on it in 2020 that obviously was never addressed, prior to me purchasing it.
Multiple doors unexpectedly open. Door latches do not lock.
The driver door will not latch and stay shut. We are in a warm climate and it happened suddenly. There was no warning lights and the car will drive without the door shut. Extremely dangerous. It hasn’t been looked at by a mechanic yet…it will have to be towed.
The vehicle was sold with automatic 911 in the case of an accident. That is no longer functional since it uses 3g. Volvo chose to use 3g even though it was supposed to stop working.
Spontaneous explosion of overhead sunroof while driving. Car was purchased new in September 2017 and only has 10,000 miles of it. The sunroof had no scratch, dents, or chips - definitely no reason to suggest that it may literally explode outward over my head while driving down the interstate. At the time of the incident I was actually on the phone with my mom and the explosion was so loud that she thought I had wrecked my vehicle down an embankment.
