Example complaints

“Excessive oil consumption - burning or consuming at least 5 quarts of oil every 2k-3k miles, between oil changes. Our only notice is when oil is below 5-quart range, when we receive a dash warning noting to stop engine. Car holds 7.25 quarts of synthetic oil. Well know documented throughout the web and known to Volvo mechanics, although more recognized with 2011-2012 S60. Stop engine notice received when starting car. Fortunately able to uber to auto supply and add 5quarts to drive home. …”

NHTSA complaint #11061411, filed 2018-01, 72,000 miles

“The car is burning oil. And like I have read in other complaints of the Volvo 2013 S60 oil has to be added too often. I just had regular service done about 5 weeks ago. On august 23, 2019 my low oil pressure light came on while the car was in motion making a turn. I thought to myself I can't be low on oil . On saturday august 24th before driving, I checked my oil and sure enough there was barely any oil on the dip stick. I called the Volvo dealership that I go to all the time and got an appointment for tuesday august 27th. …”

“Car is burning oil. I have to replace the oil every 2-3 months with no warning as to when it is coming. The check oil pressure light comes on, normally when the car is in motion (specifically, making a turn), when there is already barely any oil in the car leaving me very little time to get it to a shop to replace the oil. A couple of days later (if not that same day), the check engine light will also come on. I went directly to Volvo south shore for them to do an oil change on june 21, 2019 and my oil pressure light flashed on august 16,2019. …”

“Right front tire 235/40/r18/95h deflated when it hit a pot hole on low speed street road. Inner sidewall was damaged and tire need to be replaced. This is the first incident.”

NHTSA complaint #10920373, filed 2016-10, 3,675 miles

“While driving down the freeway, the sunroof of the car spontaneously exploded raining broken glass into the car. There was nothing above the car at the time the sunroof exploded (I.e. An overpass where something could have fallen) nor were there other vehicles near by that could have kicked a rock or other object that could have broken the glass. Further, after pulling off the road to examine the damage, the glass had exploded outward, away from the car rather than inward, as would be expected if something like a rock had hit the glass and broken it.”
