Driver's door would lock up when opening or closing door. Dealer contacted. *akthe main door hinge is failing and hangs up when opening or closing the driver front door. The auto service dealer has advised that this seems to be a manufacturing defect. There are complaints of other vehicles with the same problem but Volvo will not offer to replace it despite safety concerns.
