problem #1

Nov 032003

V70 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles
I own a 2002 Volvo V70. On four occasions the power locks have malfunctioned. At times, we are unable to unlock the doors without the use of a remote control. At other times, it is impossible to lock the doors utilizing the power lock controls. The locks last broke on 11/03/2003. We have also had other electrical problems with the vehicle, including a power window motor failure and problems with a brake position sensor. Given the number of electrical problems, we are fearful that this car may be a fire hazard.
