My car is a hard top convertible. When I drive with the top down for a prolonged period of time my driver side door unlocks and a warning light that the door is open comes up on the dashboard. The door doesn't swing open but has loosened and you can feel it rattle. This only happens with the top down, never when the top is up. I have to generally slow down/pull over and then open and slam my door shut. It can be very scary when driving at high speeds. It seems to be happening more and more frequently these days.

After driving and I had park my car doors would not open. I hit the unlock button but I could not open doors. I rolled down the window and tried to open from the outside but doors would not open. I continue to hit the unlock button but wouldn't open. I climb out the window and tried to open from the outside still would not open. So I climb back inside through the window and drove car home. When I got home and I hit the unlock button I was able to get out. This has happen a few times. I took it to the dealership and explain the problem but they said there was nothing wrong G with the car. This is an nconvenience because I never know when it will happen. The last time it happen was December 18 2020. I decided to look up this issue to see if other car owners have had this problem and decided to write a complaint

When driving at highway speeds with the top down, the "door open" warning and interior lights come on and the door opens slightly ajar. Can be either driver or passenger side. Locked or unlocked. Doors are securely closed beforehand. Having researched this extensively, I know it is also an issue for other Volvo owners. I have tried to lube the door latches as some have suggested, but this does not work. Volvo and their dealers have stated they have "never heard" of this happening before, much to my frustration. This is a serious safety issue. A car door should not pop open while driving at any speed let alone on a highway.
