After investigation, I discovered that used vehicle just purchased (2004 volvo v70) had a bad rem module; rendering fuel gauge, rear door locks, fuel door latch, and hatchback lock inoperative. The rear hatchback has no manual method to lock it; making vehicle unsecurable. Investigation online indicates this is a known issue. Dealer wants around $200 to update software to fix problems. This is unacceptable, since at least two critical items (hatchback and fuel door latches) depend on functioning rem to secure them. I believe these items should be covered by the manufacturer regardless of age.

The driver side interior door latch has disconnected four times in the past five years. As a driver, I am literally stuck in the car, and I have to exit thhrough passenger side of the vehicle. This repair(s) does not work, and the door latches are faulty in these cars. As a person that is driving in florida, with three kiddos, I can't be stuck in my car if for some reason the car goes into the water. The spring in the handle of the car does not work, and there should be a recall of the assembly of the door handle. Yes, this is an unsafe condition, as I can't exit my car, especially in the event of an emergency.

The door cannot be opened from the inside of the car. The mechanism to open the car door from the inside compartment is defective. The latch cable end is contained by a plastics housing. The cable end has another plastic part that snaps into the housing. There are clips on both sides of the plastic housing which hold down the cable end. When these clips break the cable end comes out of the housing. When the housing clips break, the inside door handle will not open the door. In the event of a crash and loss of power the occupant would not be able to exit the adjacent door.

I own a 1998 volvo v70 that has problems with the door locks. The car will lock but two doors do not unlock when the master or remote switches are activated. One has to manually lift the unlocking knob first. My concern is that in the event of an accident or the need to leave the car quickly, a young child or someone who is infirm may not be able to exit the car and someone from the outside would not be able to unlock the car door either to help them. For the front door, it is easy enough to lean over from the other side and lift the knob to unlock the door but for the rear door, the knob is placed too far back to reach from the front, hence the concern. From opening the lock, it appears that a small (3 mm) piece of red plastic in the lock mechanism has snapped off. From searching the internet, it seems that this is a common problem for my year and model but that the design fault was fixed on later models. Also, apparently the breakage appears to occur when someone tries to open the locked door while someone is trying to unlock it  a normal occurrence. I have contacted volvo but they tell me this is not a safety issue and simply wear and tear. Thanks for your help.

Electric door locks in door behind driver and front passenger doors have failed. Both will close normally but will not open with key or remote. In dark parking lot, not being able to open door especially with remote means it takes more time to enter car leaving passengers more vulnerable to assault. (note: incident date not accurate but website won't let me proceed without an entry.)
