key less entry problems

cejsmith · Jan 11th, 2016, 07:45

The driver door keyless entry has stopped working , I had this happen before and it went it and had the complete set replaced. I'm sure Volvo will fix it, but what worries me is the car is nearly out of warranty and I can see it happening again.

What are peoples thoughts???

Try a new battery - or is it both keys ? Are the other three doors OK ?

It works fine on the other doors , last time it was the boot and passager door.

My point is do you think this will happen again?

Seems to me that the first repair did not address the root cause of the fault.
I would write to the dealer and explain the problem has re-occurred and request a warranty repair, noting this appears to be a repetition of the first warranty fix. Also state you expect this repair to be '100%' or you will expect them to honour future 'out of warranty' claims on this specific fault. Be polite but clear.

I've a 2011 V60, Keyless Entry stopped working on drivers door but worked on all other doors. Took the car into Volvo to get ABS Sensor fixed, mentioned about the front door keyless entry not working, now right side passenger for keyless entry has stopped working? I can't be arsed to argue the toss with the dealer......

Is the problem with the aerials in the door?

Its been a while, but I recall there are various sensors in the car to pickup the keyless element. It's possible that the sensor covering the affected door has died.
