Don't know about the problem #1, but I definitely had a massive headache
with my V70. Rear doors and the hatch, fuel gauge and some rear lights
occasionally became disabled. After driving a few kms, all systems just
recovered by itself. May I add, that it was most annoyning when you came
back to your car after driving a few kms and the rear doors just didn't
unlock. With a screaming kid it's not very pleasant 
I was finally able to take the car, 2001 yearmodel btw, to the garage
here in Berlin. And believe it or not, it was just a software that
needed to be upgraded. The fix did cost a whopping 14 cents and there
has never been a problem since. Talk about the minor fault...
