2015 Volvo S60 Electrical system Problems

“While driving, computer screens all went black and engine shut down. If it had happened 1 mile prior, would have been going 50-55 on a curvy two lane road and would have resulted in serious injury or death. Towed to dealer awaiting results.”

“The instrument panel goes completely blank for approximately 5 seconds while driving which renders speed, safety warnings, etc. Unavailable during that time. There is no pattern of occurrence. It happens while driving at city or highway speeds. It has always occurred while the vehicle is in a straight line of motion. This starts out on an infrequent basis (once or twice a week) until it manifests into an event of several times a day. I took the vehicle to the dealer the first time on 01/13/2017 with 12,097 miles on the odometer. …”

“While driving, all power (all power) is lost, without warning. Driving normally in traffic, the car simply shuts down. Engine stops, no lights (interior or exterior), no dashboard data, safety systems disabled, no turn signals, no power steering, safety flashers do not function, etc. Essentially like the car was tuned off. Try to restart - nothing. After 'resting' for 5 minutes, starts and runs normally. Has reoccurred 3 times. Visits to the dealership have resulted in new battery, and alternator. No definitive diagnosis, just 'hope' that the problem has been fixed. …”

“By default, the auto stop/start function is engaged every time you start the 2015.5 vovo S60. The car has about 1,800 miles and was picked up at the end of august, 2015, leased as new. My wife was stopped at a traffic light, on a relatively flat road. The car turned off the engine using the auto-stop/start. When she took her foot off the brake and put it on the accelerator, the car turned off completely. The dash turned off. She had to put on her hazard warning lights, put the car into park and press the stop/start button to start the car. …”

“Excessive Oil Consumption resulting in piston damage/failure! This vehicle has burned oil since I bought it used at about 80,000 miles. I checked the carfax prior to purchasing it and it had been maintained routinely. I have to add a liter of oil every couple of weeks. This is with regular in town driving. I have reported the issue numerous times to the Volvo dealer when I bring it in for regular maintenance and repairs. I have been told by the Volvo service advisor to just add oil. It was a known issue. Sometimes I have warning lights telling me it has low oil. …”
