Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My customer was headed northbound on hwy 63, had just passed over I-70 when the customer heard a poof and smoke started bellowing from the hood and the tailpipe. They pulled over on the side of the road immediately, but by then smoke was coming out of the vents as well. They got out of the car, and called 911 because of smoke started to thicken. About one minute later, flames started coming out from underneath the right (pass) side of the car and within 25-30 seconds, flames were coming from up under the hood as well. The fire department got there and put out the fire. …”
NHTSA complaint #11324184, filed 2020-05, 176,133 miles“Drivers door would not latch. Luckily this happened while the car was stationary and not while it was in motion. The door had to be tied shut to drive it to the local dealer for repair. Dealer found the latch was worn and needed replaced. The car is in excellent condition and has 80,000 highway miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #10870090, filed 2016-05, 76,357 miles“The headlight assembly is held in place only by 3 plastic tabs. With time those tabs become brittle and break, and the headlights come off completely loose from the car, held only by the wiring.”
NHTSA complaint #10918426, filed 2016-10, 65,000 miles“Sunroof drains tubes are too short and attach to a sound trap in the a pillar of vehicle. Sound trap allows the rain water to drain to outside of vehicle. With the design on the short tubes, they often detach from the sound trap causing excessive water to enter the interior of vehicle thereby flooding the floor boards... During heavy rain and parked in lot, 3 inches of water collected at brake pedal area and rain dripping from sunroof control area.... Mold spores may develop under carpet presenting heath concerns...faulty drainage tubes are a documented problem by customers... …”
NHTSA complaint #11000126, filed 2017-06, 90,000 miles“After it rains, i've noticed water collecting in both the passenger and driver side footbeds. It started off nominally and I was easily able to use a cloth. I thought it might have been human error, that I left the window cracked open a bit. The most recent incident (this past weekend 5/4/24) there was a significant puddle on the driver's side. After further research, I discovered the culprit is likely an unbonded windshield, and that this is a KNOWN issue for Volvos, but especially for (2010) xc60s. …”
