I OWN A 2002 VOLVO V70. ON FOUR OCCASIONS THE POWER LOCKS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. AT TIMES, WE ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS WITHOUT THE USE OF A REMOTE CONTROL. AT OTHER TIMES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK THE DOORS UTILIZING THE POWER LOCK CONTROLS. THE LOCKS LAST BROKE ON 11/03/2003. WE HAVE ALSO HAD OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING A POWER WINDOW MOTOR FAILURE AND PROBLEMS WITH A BRAKE POSITION SENSOR. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, WE ARE FEARFUL THAT THIS CAR MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD. *LA
