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.

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 not a rare occurrence. Volvo should issue a recall to repair the doors to prevent them from opening unexpectedly. Reference NHTSA id numbers 10680779 and 10616590

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.
