Electrical glitches? V70-XC70

Hello all,

I noticed some weird stuff happening to my 2002 V70 2.4T, and since I still have about a year of full warranty left I'd like to know if these are 'serious' issues or not.

1- My left blinker behaves strangely. It sometimes flickers faster for a second, like experiencing a bulb failure, and then it goes away again. It happens more frequently while driving in the rain. Feels like something electronic is not working correctly.
2- I noticed that - after I lock the car using the remote key - the left rear door is sometimes not locked. This happens about 2 times out of 10, and it is solved by unlocking and locking the car again.
3- The airco is working great, but after about an hour of driving it is getting warmer in the car. I first thought it just was me getting adapted to the lower temperature, but setting the temperature even lower doesn't do anything. I then notice a lot of noise coming from near the windshield, but only just a little of cold air from the vents. However, if I turn the airco off it suddenly blows cold air, and when I turn it back on several minutes later it works correctly again. Is this normal? Is it possible for an airco to freeze a mechanism or a valve somewhere so that it shuts itself down?
4- I noticed that the vents were blowing air when I was standing still, without the ignition key in and about half an hour after driving. Is this normal? I left one door open, has this anything to do with it?

Anything else I should watch out for?

I know these are a lot of questions, but I hope I can help one of you out sometimes as well. Thanks for your respons.
