“The remote keyless drive system does not work as described by Volvo and mine has, very much, become a safety issue as well as many other Volvo owners. Nothing on my key fob works unless you are within 12 inches of the car.imam 100% disabled with multiple sclerosis and my wife has terminal brain cancer. When we drive to appointments etc, due to my short term memory issues, I can't remember exactly where I parked my car. Also, the panic button doesn'nt work for the above reasons. …”
NHTSA complaint #11191980, filed 2019-03, 84,000 miles“The 12v accessory plugs (aka the cigarette lighter) keeps randomly blowing fuses. I have tried different 12v to usb plugs and other accessory plugs but doesn't help. Tends to blow on startup. Dealership said they have had many complaints about this and thought was resolved in 2015 my. Apparently not as even putting higher amperage fuse does not help. If something outside of the electrical circuit is causing this to blow, it could be a safety issue. This started a few years ago but after replacing 10 fuses, enough is enough.”
