Driving on a houston hwy 1960 west i experienced a complete brake failure and could only stop the car by repeated brake pumping as a steady pressure on the pedal had the pedal go to the floor. There was a just brake store very close so i took it there as i was still over 40 miles from a dealer or home. They checked the brake fluid and it was empty and in trying to add fluid we saw it running out the back wheel onto the ground. The right rear wheel, passenger side had a brake calliper leaking that drained the system. With only 34,000 miles on the vehicle this appears to be a faulty part. The part replacement has fixed the problem. I am wondering if this is an ongoing problem and are the rest of these parts on my car and all other similar cars a potential serious accident hazard?
This car is a convertible, and when the top is down/open, and i am driving at speeds exceeding 25mph, both the driver and passenger door can spontaneously open.the doors do not fly open, but the "door open" warning light comes on, the interior lights come on, and the window drops slightly as it does when you open the door.then, i am forced to pull over to re-close the doors.this happens whether or not the doors are locked, and i am confident they are fully secured before this happens. This happens more often on the passenger side than the driver side, but it has happened on both sides.this was reported to volvo on 6/17/2016, and they indicated that there are no outstanding recalls for this issue.there are many examples of similar problems on the volvo forums, which suggests a systematic safety issue.e.g.:http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-c70-14/c70-door-unlocks-opens-itself-while-driving-83545/http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-xc90-9/door-opens-while-driving-twice-66826/
While driving on the interstate, the passenger side door popped open. The convertible top was down when this happened. We were driving about 65mph when this happened. Car has never been in any accidents.
This car is a convertible.when the top is down and i hit a bump, the driver door pops open, door ajar message appears, and dome lights come on.like the previous driver complaint,i am forced to pull over to re-close the door. I reported this to the dealer back in 2012.we looked to see if there were any active recalls.none then and none currently.since then, the door pops open 50% of the time when the top is down.the car has never had structural damage to it.the local auto body shop recommended i post to this site.i agree with the previous post: "there are many examples of similar problems on the volvo forums" suggesting a systemic issue.http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-c70-14/c70-door-unlocks-opens-itself-while-driving-83545/http://volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-xc90-9/door-opens-while-driving-twice-66826/
