Warning light on dashboard indicated right front headlamp out. Repair shop removed and replaced original component with new component. Internal inspection of light assembly revealed missing insulation(photos attached) on wiring harness causing a short circuit which also ruined the headlight igniter and control module. Shop stated that this issue is NOT uncommon with Volvo lighting systems. The current concern is the same condition is present in the left(driver) headlight and could cause a short and fire within the headlight assembly. Correspondence with Volvo resulted in no resolution of the issue and lack of concern for the reliability of installed components or possible safety concern for their product.

Driver door lock and latch mechanism seems to glitch out, leaving door impossible toclose. It tends to reactivate after driving for a few minutes with the door open warning light on. Weather doesnt seem to effect it like frozen locks. This issue has happened on randomly even on 50 degree days. It seems to be a common issue on the Volvo forums.

The passenger side head light while I was driving home from work bulb went out had message stating bulb failure replaced bulbs and within 2 days. Lights were out again and the wiring connected to head lights were frayed as if they had shorted out or had melted and the back side signal on passenger side stopped working the car was being driven at that time
