Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I approached a red light I began to slow down and my car started to shake and then it turned off I was unable to turn on my hazards to warn other drivers or pull over to the side, after a couple seconds the lights came back on and I put the car in p and started it again. It happened again later on the same day.”
NHTSA complaint #11383627, filed 2020-12, 136,000 miles“Vehicle had a no start, no crank condition while parked. Was towed to dealership. Dealer determined no start, no crank condition was caused by outdated software. I do not think Volvo should design a car to not start if software is outdated. Had I needed to use the car to drive to hospital or some other emergency this would have been an issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11093399, filed 2018-05, 62,450 miles“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”
NHTSA complaint #11367102, filed 2020-10, 135,000 miles“I was driving down the interstate, suddenly I heard a loud boom. I could hear something sliding down my roof and off the back of the car. I didn't know what was going on, then I heard a wind noise above. I realized that my sunroof was broken and glass was cascading down and flying off of my car. It just spontaneously exploded. I pulled over to look at the sunroof and to see if there was a rock that hit it or something else. There was nothing there except for a shattered sunroof with a huge hole. The glass was pointing upward as if it had exploded from the inside.”
NHTSA complaint #10809037, filed 2015-12, 39,824 miles“Car never warned of low pressure or oil low. Car started to shimmy and blow white smoke. It can no longer be driven. Piston heads blew due to lack of lubrication.will cost approx 7 to 8 thousand to fix.”
