Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We sometimes have difficulty when opening and closing the driver's door. Also, on several occasions when driving a warning light came on indicating the doors were ajar. We were on a highway when it happened. It seems to be related to an issue with the door latch. We were told by the dealer that there was a door latch recall on other Volvo vehicles, but not the C70.”
NHTSA complaint #11341209, filed 2020-07, 52,000 miles“I have a 2012 C70, and the door open warning and interior lights come on and the door slumps slightly ajar (even the window drops like when you open the door). This happens driving at highway speeds. Can be either driver or passenger side. Doors are securely closed beforehand. I have also mastered the stop, lean and slam. It is so annoying and scary!”
NHTSA complaint #11100573, filed 2018-06, 82,600 miles“When driving on the highway, the driver window opened slightly and the car displayed a warning light of door open. I had to pull to the shoulder to close and lock the door. On my return trip, I closed and locked the door but after an hour of highway driving, the same thing occurred. I am taking this to the dealer today but wonder if this should be included in the recall of faulty door latches on the s60 and xc60 models.”
NHTSA complaint #11326933, filed 2020-06, 56,900 miles“While driving normally on evenly paved roads my passenger door opens and a error message is displayed on my console. I have taken to the dealer who charged me $60. To check it on the computer but to no avail. The problem was not detected by the computer and the problem continues to exist.”
NHTSA complaint #10744260, filed 2015-07, 45,000 miles“I was driving on the highway tonight going about 50 MPH (with the top up) when the passenger side door became ajar. The interior lights came on, the window slightly opened like it does when you normally open the door, and a warning came on saying the door was open. It did not fully open, but was completely unlatched, I had to reach over and hold it shut while driving until I found a safe place to pull over. This has happened multiple other times, too, though this was by far the scariest and could have caused a wreck. …”
