Consumer Description

THE DOOR CHECK ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR HAS FAILED. THE DOOR HINGES SEEM TO BE OK, BUT THE DOOR CHECK/DOOR STOP HAS A BROKEN WELD THAT MAKES THE DOOR HARD TO OPEN - WITH A VERY CRACKLING NOISE. DEALER WANTS $280 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST - YET I HAVE SEEN POSTINGS SIMILAR TO THIS ON OTHER VOLVO WEB POSTER BOARDS. A WELD HAS BROKEN? WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR THE SAFETY OF A VOLVO CAR? MR
