Example complaints

Other or unknown: “I lease a 2017 Volvo S90 with auto-brake and start/stop technology. Recently I was in my driveway and put the vehicle in drive. I rolled forward a few feet and realized I needed to exit the vehicle for something. I became distracted due to an item on my drivers seat and since the vehicles engine was not running due to start-stop technology I did not realize that the car was still in drive and that the ignition was in the on position. I exited the vehicle and closed the drivers door. When I did so , the start-stop technology engaged and the car drove off without me. …”

NHTSA complaint #10985775, filed 2017-05, 5,000 miles

Fuel system: “I could smell gasoline coming from the vents for several days. I opened the hood and found gasoline leaking from one of the hoses near the engine. I had the car towed to the volvo dealership and they found a leaking low pressure fuel sensor and replaced it.”

NHTSA complaint #11462877, filed 2022-04

Body and structure: “The door latches freeze at low temperatures (e.g. -10F) and I can not access the vehicle. This can be very dangerous in emergency situations (sick child that needs to go to the hospital, a dangerous person in a dark parking lot, extreme cold in a remote location etc.). Volvo does not have a fix and cannot recommend preventative maintenance for this.”
