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.
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 occurrence.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.
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 nota rare occurrence. Volvo should issue a recall to repair the doors to prevent them from opening unexpectedly. Reference nhtsa id numbers 10680779 and 10616590
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.
Xenon headlights on volvo xc90 are unsafe in that they fail to illuminate the road ahead adequately and result in a black curtain extending halfway down the windshield.
Super hot air blows from the driver side vents even with the air conditioner turned on low. Also the drivers side heated seat doesn't work.

I have air and water leaks.the car has been to the mattusch volvo dealer in kaiserslautern, germany, four times for these leaks; mattusch has had the car for over 3 months (cumulative) trying to correct the leaks to no avail.in fact the repairs have made the leaks worse.it started with small water leaks in the rear windows.after the "repairs" the leaks got worse and worse and air noise was very bad.now the trunk leaks water due to the "repairs".i have had a volvo country rep look at the car and he agrees the air noise is bad.volvo hq tried to tell me it's a cabriolet so i should expect air leaks.this is a hard top convertible, not a rag top!
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 [xxx]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 [xxx] 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.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Water leaks through the rear left and right windows.i have taken the car in three times since feb 8, 2008 to get this repaired.the solutions have ranged from injecting sealant to replacing the seals.however, the leak persists.following the most recent repair (replacing the seals on july 8), the right rear side window rattles and the leak is worst than ever.this has been a very frustrating and time-consuming endeavor.

Without notice, the driver's door comes unlocks itself and unlatched which results in the door opening while driving. I have researched this and it appears to be a fairly common problem. Https://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-c70-14/c70-door-unlocks-opens-itself-while-driving-83545/
The trunk will no longer open although when i use the remote key to unlock it i do hear it click. I have read that this has been a problem for other drivers, which is why i'm reporting it here.
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
