My wife has a 12 plate V40 T4, purchased in june 18. First lock to go was o/s rear, door locked but would not open (Dec 18). Next was drivers door (Dec 19). Now n/s rear, this however has decided to correct itself for the time being. The first 2 lock mechanisms were replaced by local specialist. Volvo know about the problem & extended the warranty to 4yrs, after that you are on your own. I believe same problem affects S & V60s maybe others. This has put us off newer model volvo,s. Its an expensive fix as potentially all 5 locks can fail. Should have been a recall.
