How new is new? If the car is new as in still under warranty, then take it back to your dealer.

What exactly do you mean, or is it just me that's confused?

I think he means the blade of the key has lost it's spring.

Well not new new lol, and she means the spring seems to have gone in both my keys meaning they flop and don't spring and stay open.

Found a web site that shows the internal mechanism of the key,
and discusses how to repair your problem :

Unless you are quite proficient in such matters it looks like the best bet
will be to go and talk nicely to your Volvo dealer about ordering new key(s) !
