2007 Volvo C-Class problems

“THE TRUNK WILL NO LONGER OPEN ALTHOUGH WHEN I USE THE REMOTE KEY TO UNLOCK IT I DO HEAR IT CLICK. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR OTHER DRIVERS, WHICH IS WHY I'M REPORTING IT HERE.”

“MY 2007 C70 STOPPED READING BOTH OF MY KEY FOBS AT THE SAME TIME. I WAS AT WALMART AND WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR IT SAID KEY ERROR TRY AGAIN. SO I TRIED AND I TRIED. NOTHING. I CALLED MY ROOMMATE WHO CAME WITH MY OTHER KEY ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER. IT WAS ABOUT 1:30 AM BY THIS TIME. THE OTHER KEY DIDN'T WORK EITHER. ALSO KEY ERROR. MY TOP IS OPEN AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE MY CAR EXPOSED OVER NIGHT. I GO BACK 9 HOURS LATER TO TRY AND START THE CAR AGAIN. NOTHING AGAIN. THIS TIME THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE, AND THE TOP IS STILL DOWN . AND NEITHER KEY WORKS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY CAN ALLOW A KEY TO BE ERASED. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SITUATION IN THE PARKING LOT WHERE I NEEDED TO LEAVE AND WASN'T ABLE TO LEAVE. MY LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN AT JEOPARDY.”

“PURCHASED NEW UNIROYAL TIRES FOR MY CAR ALL HAVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN VERY SHORT TIME TIRES SUFFER FROM RAPID DEFLATION FOR NOW REASON. TIRE DEALER HAS BLAMED WHEELS AIR PRESSURE ECT . THREE OF THE 4 WHEELS HAVE BE CHANGED ALL HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY A WHEEL REPAIR SERVICE. THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN A NAIL OR ROAD HAZARD INVOLVED. THESE TIRES SIMPLY DO NOT PREFORM CORRECTLY THEY LOOSE PRESSURE AT ANY SPEED AT ANY TIME.12”
