Adaptive Equipment problem #1

Tire pressure monitoring system failed. On two separate occasions (4/14/14 and 8/25/14) low pressure light came on. When checking tire pressure, the stems disintegrated. Tires went flat. Replaced flat tire with spare and drove to local tire shop. The tire service mechanic told us the replacement part is the exact same part that corroded initially. Called Volvo with no satisfactory response. Said it was not on any recall list. Informed them of my concerns for a potentially catastrophic situation. After researching the problem, found there are other complaints about this tpms senor. Why no recall?.

Equipment problem #2

Driver side door latch does not lock. It seems secure but one latch does not move. Warning light comes on. I’m concerned about driving it.
