2010 Volvo XC60 Brakes Problems

“There is a class action lawsuit against Volvo for both these problems and I was affected by both this month. 1. Windshield for Volvo XC60 is known for a failure of bonding along the top edge. When I brought it in the service guys were able to just push the windshield upwards and out with their bare hands to show me that there is a huge gap along the top edge. This happened to my car in the past 1 month and ended in a $420 repair that involved popping the whole thing off and resealing it. …”

“After starting up from a stop, city safety activated with an emergency brake activation, we were almost rear ended by the car behind us.

It should wrap around the pedal like a rubber band, but there is so little extra rubber on the back that it appeared that the rubber cover could literally pop off, and that's just what it did. Go inspect yours. This was on a 2010 XC60 t6 awd with standard rubber pedals. …”

“While slowing down and just about to make a turn into a private residence off of a highway, multiple indicator lights illuminated and audio warning dinging occurred for approximately 3 seconds. As I had already been slowly applying the brakes and starting to slightly turn the wheel towards the driveway when those warnings briefly came up, the moment the lights and sounds stopped, vehicle then maintained speed (while still on the brakes) and locked steering position it was at simultaneously. Having no control at that point, it continued until crashing into a wooden fence. …”
