“On Wednesday, July 16, 2025 I was sitting at a stop light, using the Auto Hold system. A few minutes later, my car took off and accelerated on its own and hit the rear of a truck. I hit the truck so hard as he was sitting at the light as well, it pushed his vehicle into the vehicle in front of him. I was unable to stop my Volvo, it was like it took full control over.”
NHTSA complaint #11674216, filed 2025-07“Sometimes when I start the car, the infotainment has no sound and I have to reboot it. This affects maps, blinkers, safety, anything using audio. When I reboot I lose access to all audio and video in the car. This happens a couple times a month. Sometimes I don’t notice it until I’m already under way.”
NHTSA complaint #11767657, filed 2026-09“I am writing to provide an update on an existing recall, 25V282, for the rear-view camera image failing to display during the start of each reversing event. This issue was meant to be resolved via a software update, which my car received and installed. However, this did not solve the issue. I still receive the Camera Temporarily Unavailable message regularly when shifting my car into reverse, and I am unable to see the rearview camera image.”
NHTSA complaint #11693063, filed 2025-10“While driving, and slowly coming to a complete stop and if I drive over a pothole, the car will launched forward and I have to press the brakes fast in order not to jot out into traffic or run into the back of another vehicle. This is very dangerous”
NHTSA complaint #11691056, filed 2025-10“We were notified by email of a computer update to our 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge (it stated it would automatically download the update then ask us to initiate the installation). The next day I was charging the car. The car is programmed for 1 pedal driving. After disconnecting the charger, I got into the car, put my foot on the brake, and placed the car in reverse. When I released the brake, the car just took off in reverse. It should not have moved until I pushed on the accelerator. …”
