Example complaints
Body and structure: “When it rains, I receive a warning that the rear position lights are failed. The left tail light stops working and I'm without a signal and brake lamp. This issue resolved its self when it's had time to dry, usually within two to three days.”
NHTSA complaint #11651761, filed 2025-03Electrical system: “During the rainy season, moisture found its way inside the right passenger real tail light, causing a “brake malfunction” error on the dash and deactivating the passenger rear brake light. After the moisture dries, the light comes back on but is intermittent. The light continues to malfunction during rainfall. This is a huge safety concern as there is no way to reset the system to turn on the brake light, unless the moisture dries.”
NHTSA complaint #11669331, filed 2025-06Exterior lighting: “Rear Position Light Malfunction on my 2018 Volvo V90 CC. The winter finally came yesterday and it rained the whole night. After I started the car in the following morning and drove for around 2 minutes, the warning popped up. I found out the rear position light of the whole left side doesn’t work, included the position light on the tailgate. But so far, every light works well except the position light. I tried to restarted the car, the warning didn’t pop up and the left position light worked for a while like 1 minute, then the warning came out again and the position light was back to off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11628012, filed 2024-11Other or unknown: “Sensus navigation map gets overplayed with a blank window effectively covering the map, the system freezes so no navigation or sensus related information is available to the driver. The recovery process seems to be, stop car, open/close doors, wait 5-20 minutes, open/close doors, restart car and hopefully move on. The car has been to dealer 8+ times for various attempts to repair. Volvo north america has been involved in at least the last 3 attempts. Volvo na, completely non-responsive. Problem used to be infrequent, now it is much more regular. …”
