Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“There is a leak on my front windshielhe, drivers side.. When it rains water seeps in.. The leak impacts my safety while driving. Eg: yesterday ice cold water was dripping onto my lap while I was driving (distracting), as well as obstructing my vision while it ran down the inside of the glass ). It seems many Volvo owners are experiencing the same problems especially XC60's. Apparently the seal did not adhere correctly therefore, eventually all xc's will experience if not recalled by Volvo. …”

“Recently noticed when going through drive through car wash, that water is intruding at top of windshield over the steering wheel interior. Took to deal today and said it was the windshield seal and outside of warranty so will cost $437 to repair. I consider this a manufacturers defect and have seen on a Volvo forum that it is a known issue. How is a defect in windshield compromise not a safety issue? Volvo needs to do better as my 6 year old car should not be leaking.”

“Numerous trips to the local Volvo dealer to find the issue with my Volvo. Last episode 10.07.2016 driving on city streets. Approx. Speed 25-30 MPH. Slowing down and making a complete stop. Accelerating to move on but car is not responding. Rpm stays at 600 even though gas pedal is pressed down. This can last 3 to 6 seconds. Finally car starts moving. I wanted to park on a fairly steep street in san francisco on 10.06.2016. On the first attempt I was too far away from the side of the street. Put car into reverse and attempted to back up. …”
