The child safety lock is not engaged. The door latches on the rear right passenger door in my car has failed. It fails to unlock when from the inside. In an emergency situation. Passengers won't be able to exit the vehicle quickly. The Problem can be reproduced and there are current door latch recalls in other models but it needs to extend out these models too. It has not been inspected by police but. again there is a recall for similar models. The recall should extend out to these models. No warning signs.
Driver side door latch does not clamp to secure the door.
While driving on the highway, the rear passenger door unlatched automatically and opened. The vehicle was in the shop for a recall on this part, however it appears that the labor was not done correctly or at all.

WITHIN MINUTES OF A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THE SCREEN DISPLAYED "TURN ON ENGINE." MY CAR HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. THIS HAD OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN 2019. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. THE ISSUE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPICATED AND NO FAULT CODE.

STATIONARY VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH KEYLESS IGNITION AND AUTO ENGINE "START/STOP" FEATURE. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN DRIVEWAY. ENGINE STOPPED, DRIVER STEPPED OUT OF CAR, ENGINE RESTARTED AND MOVED FORWARD, DAMAGING HOME AND BARELY MISSED PINNING DRIVER AGAINST WALL. EXPERIENCED DRIVER, MOMENTARILY DISTRACTED, ASSUMED ENGINE WAS OFF, AND HAVING PREVIOUSLY DISABLED START/STOP FEATURE, BELIEVED THAT VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AS PART OF NORMAL SHUTDOWN - OWING TO ALREADY QUIET ENGINE. CALL TO DEALER SERVICE REVEALED "SEVERAL PEOPLE" COMPLAINED OF AUTO START/STOP FEATURE BUT SAID THERE WAS NO WAY TO RESET DEFAULT FOR THIS FEATURE - THE SOLUTION WAS TO REMEMBER TO DISABLE EACH TIME DRIVER ENTERED CAR (VOLVO HAS A DISABLE BUTTON ON CONSOLE WHICH DEFAULTS TO THE AUTO START/STOP AND REQUIRES DRIVER TO MANUALLY DISABLE EACH TIME CAR IS STARTED).
