Every time I unlock my doors I hear a rattle/thumping in the passenger door, the window will go down, and the exterior turn signal light on the mirror will flicker. To make it stop, you have to manually lift the door lock knob. After which, everything will function normally. In addition, I've had the express window option fail, the mirror has quit working, and the exterior temp. gauge has malfunctioned. I assumed it was a computer software issue, but the dealership told me that was not the case and that I needed to replace several parts. I think they're trying to rip me off. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, was it a software issue?

it sounds like a harness inside the door was caught by the glass , pulled and rubbed to raw wire; recommend remove door panel for inspection. damage should be self evident if some of the wires are to be replaced soldier them in and use heat shrink over the splice and make sure ALL the wires are routed away from anything that moves.

I can't speak for all dealerships, but I work as a Volvo service advisor. I can tell you that they will not sell you parts that you do not need. There are several key components to your window system, all of which may need to be replaced.
They may charge alot for everything (high markup on parts and high labor costs), but you have volvo genuine parts being installed by a tech who knows what they are doing, and any problems that may occur in the future the dealership can help you with.
It sounds to me like you need a master window switch, possibly a track system for the window itself, as well as a door lock assy. That is a lot of work and the parts for this job aren't cheap, so expect to pay a decent amount for the work. That's all the advice I can give. Trust me on this, independent shops will rip you off way before a certified volvo dealership will.

Take it back to the dealer and get them to fix the wiring to the sensor in the seat on the passenger side.
