Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As far back as 2011, there were complaints that volvos equipped with the city safety system would suddenly stop or slow down for no reason. This same situation happened to me in september 2018. As I was making a left turn to cross an intersection, my Volvo S60 suddenly came to a halt. There was nothing in front of me. I was not sure what had happened as I heard a grinding noise. I pulled the car over and as I was about to get out of the car, I noticed a warning on the dash that the city safety had gone off. For some unknown reason, my Volvo had decided to just stop. …”
