Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2007 Volvo S80

Driver door lock and latch mechanism seems to glitch out, leaving door impossible toclose . it tends to reactivate after driving for a few minutes with the door open warning light on. weather doesnt seem to effect it like frozen locks. this issue has happened on randomly even on 50 degree days. it seems to be a common issue on the volvo forums.

The passenger side head light while i was driving home from work bulb went out had message stating bulb failure replaced bulbs and within 2 days. lights were out again and the wiring connected to head lights were frayed as if they had shorted out or had melted and the back side signal on passenger side stopped working the car was being driven at that time

The car was purchased on march 1, 2012. shortly after the purchase of the car the wiper blades malfunctioned. they did not work properly and we had to pull off to side of the road on the highway with our children in the car. they would not shut off even after we pulled the key out of the ignition. it was a huge visibility hazard. we called the dealership where it was purchased and they would not help us, even though it was still within our 30 day warranty period. every time we operated the vehicle the wipers would turn on even when we took the key out of the ignition. we called the two volvo dealerships in the state of minnesota and were told we would have to pay for repairs. we took it back to the mercedes dealership where it was purchased and they told us to take it back to volvo for the recall (09v139000)repairs and called on our behalf to arrange an appointment. the volvo dealership told us the recall had already been performed but the computer was still showing the windshield wiper errors that should have been rectified by the software. finally, the volvo dealership re-installed the updated software. it has been several days since the recall software was installed and the wipers continue to malfunction and has now begun to scrape our windshield and drain the battery. we are concerned for our safety. the car cannot be driven. the remedy for the recall does not rectify the safety hazard. operating this vehicle will dramatically increase the risk of an accident and yet we need our automobile for transportation every day. *tr
