The car has a factory fault with the Windshield Wiper or Turn Signal contact switch, which is causing the inability to use the left/right signal and the wipers. The entire part is factory faulty, rendering the vehicle unable to operate safely. This affects visibility during wet conditions because the wipers cannot be activated due to the malfunctioning switch, which can lead to serious accidents. Additionally, malfunctioning left/right turning signals can also cause serious accidents, as it is a crucial function. Yes, the vehicle is available upon request. I contacted Volvo, but they declined to fix the issue. They have published a technical bulletin regarding the problem but are not recalling the vehicles. Many other Volvo models have the same factory defect, as can be found on the internet. The technical bulletin confirms their fault. I have attached the file. No, the vehicle has not been inspected. Yes, the vehicle shows...
I UPDATED THE MAPS IN THE CAR'S NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON 8/3/2016. AT THAT TIME, VOLVO'S SERVER IN SWEDEN WERE DOWN. THEY HAD BEEN DOWN FOR DAYS. NEXT MORNING, WHEN I STARTED DRIVING TO WORK, I NOTICED THAT THE SENSUS SYSTEM STARTED REBOOTING EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES. AS I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE SENSUS SYSTEM REBOOTED, IF MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ON, IT WOULD GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK ON. IF THE SENSUS SYSTEM WAS REBOOTING AND I TRIED TO TURN ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, IT WOULD NOT COME ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SENSUS SYSTEM IS JUST A CENTRAL CONSOLE AND IT'S REBOOT SHOULD NOT IMPACT CAR'S BASIC FUNCTIONS. BY THE TIME I LEFT WORK IN THE EVENING, THE SERVER IN SWEDEN WAS BACK ONLINE AND THE SENSUS CONSOLE STOPPED REBOOTING AND ISSUE NEVER HAPPENED.
