Is this a kown issue? My driver down only open when I open another door first.

I open my car by remote. When I try to open the driver door it is looked still. When I open the backdoor, I can open the driver door. Strange.

Would go to Volvo but earliest appointment is in 8 weeks...

Mine has a strange behavior too
I open with the keyless feature.
Quite often , I have to put slowly hand on the handle to get it unlocked

If I pull too fast, handle is pulled but door stays locked

If you're using the keyless entry feature, the car senses your fingers on the inside of the pull handle and sometimes it can take a second to unlock. Don't pull until you hear it unlock or you'll be doing the double-pull game. I find it usually happens when I'm in a hurry. :) You can gently touch on the inside surface of the handle to unlock before pulling to open. Make sure your thumb is nowhere near the lock depression on the handle or it can become confused not knowing whether to lock or unlock.
