1) PROBLEM WITH RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK, NOT UNLOCKING. MUST MANUALLY UNLOCK FROM INSIDE OF CAR. 2) DRIVER SIDE DOOR NOT CLOSING. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE DOOR IT BOUNCES BACK. THE ONLY WAY TO CLOSE THE DOOR IS TO FORCE IT WITH BODY WEIGHT. *JB

#768487 | October 22, 2002

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
