This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2000 Volvo S70. The contact stated that in conditions over 100 degrees, the key fob will not unlock the doors to the vehicle. He would have to manually open the doors. When the failure occurs while the contact is sitting in the front seat, he cannot open the rear doors because the rear power door locks also fail. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and they stated that it was an engineering failure that could not be solved. The current and failure mileages were 72,000. Updated 09/18/07
