Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL PANEL FAILS (GAS GAUGE SAYS EMPTY), PASSENGER AND REAR DOOR LOCKS, FUEL DOOR, AND TRUNK OPENING ALSO FAILS. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS UNLESS PULLING THE DOOR LOCK UP MANUALLY FROM INSIDE THE CAR SO THEREFORE CAN'T GET TO CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT WITHOUT CRAWLING THROUGH THE FRONT SEAT AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING THEIR DOOR. HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR BECAUSE GAS GAUGE FAILS AND CANNOT GET FUEL DOOR TO OPEN CONSITENTLY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO REFUEL. CAR ALARM WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND COULD NOT OPEN THE CAR DOORS TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THEREFORE BATTERY DRAINED. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. A CHILD COULD GET TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE OR SOMEONE COULD GET INTO THE CAR FOR FEAR OF LOCKING DOORS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THEM UNLOCKED. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET -REAR ELECTRICAL MODULE FAILURE AND VOLVO NEEDS TO ADDRESS AS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
