During the rainy season, moisture found its way inside the right passenger real tail light, causing a âbrake malfunctionâ error on the dash and deactivating the passenger rear brake light. After the moisture dries, the light comes back on but is intermittent. The light continues to malfunction during rainfall. This is a huge safety concern as there is no way to reset the system to turn on the brake light, unless the moisture dries.

Automatic tailgate door, which was open for loading, randomly came down and struck me in the head. Door did not retract on contact but continued downward. No one was in vehicle. Neither keyfob or button were touched. I'm on blood thinners, this was a dangerous head injury. Could be extremely dangerous for children. This is second time this happened, but previously the door didnt hit me, I jumped back. This time, I was leaning in to load items. Again, I was just placing items in back. I was alone. Purse was in cart. There was no way any button on car or fob was pushed to close door. It closed on its own. Very dangerous!

When it rains, I receive a warning that the rear position lights are failed. The left tail light stops working and I'm without a signal and brake lamp. This issue resolved its self when it's had time to dry, usually within two to three days.

Rear Position Light Malfunction on my 2018 Volvo V90 CC. The winter finally came yesterday and it rained the whole night. After I started the car in the following morning and drove for around 2 minutes, the warning popped up. I found out the rear position light of the whole left side doesnât work, included the position light on the tailgate. But so far, every light works well except the position light. I tried to restarted the car, the warning didnât pop up and the left position light worked for a while like 1 minute, then the warning came out again and the position light was back to off. So right now itâs so risky to drive at night or on bad weathers because other cars follows me can…

1. When my tailgate is open on multiple (more than 8?9? 10 times out of nowhere it will start to come down without my prompting It has hit me on my shoulder multiple times and I jump out of the way while it continues to shut. Most recently, it came down quick and hit my head. Luckily I got out of the way. Yet it wasn't fast enough because this time the tailgate hit it hard giving me a headache and then bothered my neck later. I have gone to Volvo and they say nothing is wrong with it. They say that is the feature of swinging you foot under the bumper and I know that. I didn't do that though. I never let my grand-kids sit in the back "tailgating after skiing" because of the potential danger…
