Are you still under warranty? If not, I'd chaulk this up as typical (substandard) Swedish/Volvo electrical engineering and take the switch apart first and try a little rehab work before spending any money.

Though I haven't had to do this (yet) in my S70 and the switch design is a little different, I've had to do it in every other Volvo I've ever owned: in the past, I've cleaned the contacts with emery cloth, alcohol, or some other solvent and then sprayed them with a little Tri-Flow before reassembly. (Tri-Flow is a synthetic lubricant that repels moisture and dirt, but allows electrical contact. Great stuff.) Never had to re-do any of these repairs.
