How many miles do you have? I took delivery on October 15th, 2000. I started noticing these problems at just over 2000 miles. Currently, I have 4500 miles on mine. Car is at the dealer as I write. I have other posts on BB the last two weeks--under "sensitive panic button" and others--run a search to read up on those--and other comments to my post. They have ordered new remotes, which come in tomorrow---However, I suspect based on other posts to this site, this seems to be an electrical/software problem common to this new Star Trek-like "plasma conduit" system evidently new to the 2001 models. The mechanics at my dealer say my car is the first 2001 XC to exhibit this(but they called me today and said they now have a second customer with similar problems as mine that brought in his new 2001 XC). THe problems with my sunroof, gas filler door, ceiling mounted interior light switches--all disappeared after the mechanic "massaged" the front passenger window switch!
I believe the remotes are my problem with the extremely sensitive panic button. But, the other problems you mention--I also had some of them--but they did not occur all the time. The mechanics at my dealer suspect it may be a fault in the software that controls all these gizmos. They are doing the good ole process of elimination approach. First, we will see how the new remotes do. Then, we will delve into the other problems--when they occur again.
