Immediately (1 day) after delivery, I had to take my new V70 T5 in for repair because the keyless entry system and one of the power door locks were not operating - and it was in the shop for 9 days.
I got it back a few days ago, and now have learned that (1) the wrong armrest was installed in the backseat - it lacks the cupholders that my kids were looking forward to (a representative at Volvo's national customer service hotline confirmed that my car has the wrong armrest); (2) one of the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside (even if the child safety feature is turned off): (3) the front passenger door won't stay open on even a slight hill (it slams back shut the minute one lets go of it, instead of catching and staying open)and (4) the radio in my $1000 optional "premium sound system" emits a high-pitched feedback-type noise on many AM radio stations, including the major all-news radion station in my area (I've never had this problem in any other car, so I don't think it's a reception problem.)
Are other people having similar problems? Do you think these things are to be expected from a new car? I'm getting worried that there may be a lot more things wrong, perhaps in the engine, that I'm not sophisticated enough to know about.
Any thoughts appreciated.
