2022 VOLVO C40BEV Complaints

On June 22, 2024 at 5.25pm I went to my driveway to open my car door to leave for dinner. When I opened the door black smoke came gushing out on my face. The whole car was filled with black soot and the passenger seat was burning and my Nikon DSLR camera was melted and battery compartment opened and maybe leaking. Temperature inside the car was 104 and outside was 87 when I opened the car. The car passenger seat was melted including the foam and wires. I had my dogs rubber ball, my hair band on the seat as well as my pink water bottle on the seat and some odour genie tub and plastic cleaning supplies none of which were burnt but just covered with smoke. My concern is that the seat material and the carpet on the floor was all burnt and charred with smoke damage however, all the plastic water bottles, my hair and and my dogs ball did not get burnt down with the electrical Fire. This is very dangerous to have just in case there is accusation and the fire catches the seats on fire so rapidly just by a camera battery leak or PVC Melt down. My primary concern is the vegan man-made material used in the entire vehicle from ceiling to floor is susceptible to catch on fire just with 100 degrees temperature from some acid leak or from the cigarette lighter charger which one of them burnt down whilst the other is in tact

First time - While stopped at a traffic light and foot off both the accelerator and brake (the car holds itself once stopped) the car started to accelerate until I stopped it with the brake pedal. Second time, a few days later - while coasting to a stop and foot off both the accelerator and brake the car started to accelerate until I slowed it with the brake pedal. Both incidents happened within a few days of each other just under 15,000 miles. Called Volvo corporate, they said to bring in to dealer. Dealer could not replicate and there were no codes to diagnose issue. All car software was up to date.
