My drivers side door latch will no longer open from the inside or the outside. I have to climb across to the passenger side and go out the opposite door. I am reporting this because this vehicle is part of the volvo "P3" platform which includes the S60, and they had a huge recall to replace all the door latch mechanisms for this exact reason.

ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON IN MY VOLVO. I WENT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THE SCAN READ "FAULTY RADIATOR ANTI-TAMPER DEVICE." I THEN RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT VOLVO HAD A RECALL (TJ27910) THE 2013 S80 WAS EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MY CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY NOT ON THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. VOLVO WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL AND STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR RE-SCANNED AND THE SOFTWARE ISSUE WOULD BE RESET AT MY COST. ACCORDING TO VOLVO EVEN THOUGH MY CAR HAS THE ISSUE AS THE SAME MODELS WITH THE RECALL SINCE MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH UP I AM LIABLE FOR THE COST. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, AND THE VOLVO CUSTOMER SERVICE…

THE CHROME FOIL DECORATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL TRIM IS DELAMINATING, CAUSING A SHARP EDGE WHERE THE FOIL HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE PLASTIC SUBSTRATE. THIS IS HAPPENING AT THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL, WHERE THE HANDS COME IN CONTACT WITH IT. IN THE COURSE OF DRIVING THE CAR AND TURNING THE WHEEL, THE SHARP EDGE HAS CUT MY HANDS AND THOSE OF MY WIFE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND OUR VEHICLE IS STILL NOT REPAIRED. *TR
