AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE AN SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR THE HEADLIGHTS ARE FAULTY, I TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX THEM NOTHING WORKS. I USED AN INLINE FUSE WITH THE HEADLIGHT WIRING BECAUSE THE BULBS THE CONTINUE TO BLOWOUT. THE VOLVO FORUM SUGGESTED THE INLINE FUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT IT DID NOT. ONE HEADLIGHT REMAINS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE COMES ON AND OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO AND IT ALSO DISPLAYS DIPPED BULB FAILURE OR BEAM FAILURE.

ENGINE
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BETWEEN OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR (2/1/2016) I HAVE USED FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL (CASTROL). OIL LEVEL SLOWLY DROPS BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. PRIOR TO THE LAST SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE (1/10/2020) I CHECKED THE OIL IT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUSLY LOW. THERE ARE NOT ( AS CERTIFIED BY ASE AUTO TECH AND CONFIRMED) NO EXTERNAL OIL LEAKS OR EVIDENCE OF OIL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS CAR NOW HAS 84.000 MILES ON IT AND I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL DAMAGE ITSELF EVEN ON THE SHORT COMMUTE MY WIFE HAS TO WORK. I CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE OIL LEVEL NOW ALMOST DAILY. I FEEL THIS IS (DAILY OIL CHECK) ABSURD AS CLEARLY, PER THE OWNERS MANUAL, DOES NOT NOR SHOULD NOT REQUIRE CHECKING AND REFILLING OIL THIS OFTEN. THE CAR HAS SHOWN THIS PATTERN OF LUBRICANT CONSUMPTION SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. THE TAILPIPES HAVE ALWAYS HAD A HEAVY DEPOSIT OF CARBON SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT "VOLVOS RUN DIRTY' AND THAT IT WAS NOT OF ANY CONCERN. NOW THAT I SEE A TECHNICAL JOURNEL AND TSB CLEARLY INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH MY SPECIFIC CAR, THIS EXPLAINS WHY. I UNDERSTAND THE FACT IN 2012 VOLVO ASSEMBLY SWITCHED MOTOR TYPES (62 TO 63?) DURING MIDRUN. INDICATIVE OF A PROBLEM OR ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY AUTO WAS INVOLVED. IT IS THE AUTO MAKER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE A SAFE AUTOMOBILE WITH A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE (OR PM) REQUIRED. THE CONDITION MY WIFE AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING IS CLEARLY NOT NORMAL FOR ANY AUTO MAKER AND EVIDENTLY HAS EXISTED SINCE IT LEFT THE ASSEMBLY LINE. I ASK ONLY FOR THE AUTOMAKER TO STAND BEHIND THEIR OWN TSB FLAW, PERFORM THE WORK NEEDED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE ALL PART/PARTS NEEDED TO RESOLVE THEIR TSB FOR MY AUTO. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME IN REVIEW.

ENGINE
THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. TRYING TO STAY AHEAD OF IT, I WAS CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 5K WITH FULL SYNTHETIC. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE "REDUCE SPEED OR SHIFT UP", AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ULTIMATELY DUE TO THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION I HAD A BENT VALUE AND NO COMPRESSION OUT OF THE 4TH CYLINDER. VOLVO DID NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIRS OR ACKNOWLEDGE ANY MANUFACTURING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT REGULARLY SERVICED BY A CERTIFIED VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 MONTHS EARLIER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DID NOTICE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY (CAR DOES NOT BEEP WHEN LOCKING AS USUAL). IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO LOCK PROPERLY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR NEEDS TO BE CLOSED MUCH HARDER THAN USUAL, TECHNICALLY SLAMMED SHUT. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DOOR, I NEED TO EITHER USE THE MANUAL KEY OR ENTER THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR, PROPPING OPEN THE DOOR THAT WAY. THIS IS CAUSING A SAFETY/SECURITY CONCERN, AS I NEED THE VEHICLE TO BE LOCKED AT ALL TIMES.
