VEHICLE 2008 VOLVO C70 HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE. Doors randomly unlatch/open while the vehicle is in motion. This occurs on both the drivers side and passengers side doors during vehicle operation in drive. It has occurred numerous times while driving on straight flat non bump roads and in roundabouts, while cornering. It is a serious safety issue. It occurs when the top is up and when the top is down.

The "passenger side door open" indicator suddenly showed on the dash while driving approximately 50MPH. As I slowed down, I asked my wife that was in the passenger seat to make sure her door was properly shut. The door opened right up without unlatching, she then promptly shut it and made sure it was secure. About 45 minutes later the same thing happened again. After investigating, I found this is a common issue with certain Volvo models. recalled for some models, not recalled for my model.

Passenger door keeps opening whether top up or down, mainly on highway driving. Very unsafe!

Right front door unlatches when I go around a corner while driving intermittently. It has not opened all the way yet but I am certain it was fully closed and latched before the car was in motion. I have heard of other people experiencing the same thing.

The passenger door has, on at least ten occasions, partially opened while the car was moving. It opened in the first phase like it is when not fully closed. My mechanic says the latch is bad and will at some point open all the way. Volvo does. Or seem anxious to address the problem. When the Volvo dealership repair was told of the problem on at least two, occasions, they said there was no problem.

The "door open" warning and interior lights come on and the door slumps slightly ajar (even the window drops like when you open the door). This happens only with the top down, driving at highway speeds. Can be either driver or passenger side. Locked or unlocked. Doors are securely closed beforehand

Doors unlock & randomly pop open during highway driving. Only "safety latch" keeps them from actually swinging out free and clear. Very alarming and disconcerting.

On multiple occasions over several months, the passenger side door would pop open while driving at highway speeds or even at slower speeds when taking a turn. Was randomly occurring and not necessarily related to driving over any bumps. Dealer kept for several weeks stating door latch was in spec and that manufacturer would not reimburse dealer if not defective part. First dealer attempted to put in metal splints wedged into the front door panel frame. Problem still occurred. Finally dealer replaced door latch and problem has not reoccurred in 8 months since. Have seen similar reports online from other car owners.
