“Recall notice on 11/2019 to replace all doors due to a safety issue (recall #: r89978: door latches). Recently on 12/1/2019, 12/23/2019 and 1/5/2020 I noticed that my rear right door slightly opened while city driving in suburban neighborhood (lots of stops) and the door signal did not indicate. They did not fully open but the latch seems to have an issue. Have been reaching out to service and Volvo does not have the parts needed.”

I then hit the car in front of me. I had only a few seconds to react. Another car then re-ended me. My airbag nor seatbelt pretentioners deployed. I had difficulty turning the car off. The car was totaled. Within a few weeks of the incident, I reported the matter to Volvo. They sent an investigator out. Volvo claims that sensors were not activated since the damage was above them, and there was not any problem. …”
