“Despite multiple repair attempts by Volvo Cars Sugar Land — including software reloads, module reprogramming, and the completion of Recall R10333 — the vehicle continues to experience failures that directly compromise my safety and the safety of my wife.

NHTSA complaint #11724948, filed 2026-03“Two Issues: 1. Check Engine Light comes on for no reason. This has happened six times (I have video recordings and maintenance reports from the dealership.)

Getting out of the car and locking/unlocking it with the remote does not initally clear the problem. …”
