2012 Volvo S60 Electrical system Problems

“Having electrical problems and software problems. In the middle of driving all electronics will go off. Also, car wont always shut down or start properly. Looked over many forums and found the exact complaints. There have been other recalls for electrical and software for the S60, but apparently they dont apply to my VIN, even though I am having the exact same issue.”

“The sensus/navigation system is plagued with bugs. Frequently my bluetooth fails to connect, audio randomly stops working for all satnav/radio functions, sometimes the screen fails to load up at all. All seems to happen completely randomly. Some days radio functions great but some days I can not listen to any audio at all. Some days my phone connects to bluetooth without me even trying to connect, and some days the satnav radio does not connect at all. …”

“Car stalled (2 times ) while driving it. Could not steer or operate any part of the car. Once I almost got rear ended my a truck on a highway. My Volvo dealer's service department could not figure out the problem. (I recently read about the GM ignition problems and that sounds exactly like what was happening with this car).”

“My 2012 Volvo S60 had serious engine noise brought to the shop they thought it might of been the fact that I had low oil, but I had just gotten my oil changed 12/17/14 and it was 5/27/15 now and I had not driven anywhere close to 6 thousand miles to deplete all the oil. The shop told me to really figure out what was going on they would have to take out the engine to take a look at what was making the noise. That evening I got a call from the shop again telling me that there was a serious problem. …”

“My car doesn't notify me that the engine oil is low. Last year, I drove all the way to mississippi without it warning that the oil was lo with barely any oil on the dip stick. We stopped to check it when we got gas and that is how we knew. It has been low several times this year without notifying me. I have to constantly check the oil to ensure there is enough in there. It does not have an oil leak as there is no oil on the concrete. I have checked with the Volvo dealership and was told there was no recall for my car in reference to low oil but there should be. I could have blown my engine”
