“Passenger side blis works intermittently, drivers side works flawlessly. Returned to dealer multiple times, unable to effect repair. Have appealed to Volvo, waiting communication. Dealer states I should not expect the passenger side blis to work the same as the drivers side. I should be more aware, and not expect the passenger side blis to work consistently, that would be unreasonable.”

“I was driving and my vehicle completely shut down leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. I was not able to turn on the hazard lights. It appeared as if someone completed unplugged my car from the power outlet. Completely black screen on all electronics and if the door opened no lights came on. I have the vehicle at the dealer and they indicated that their might be a corrupt file and a software update is required. I just want to make sure this does not happen to anyone else. This happened while I was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. …”

“If you are thinking about buying a Volvo, please consider otherwise. I am currently driving a 2015 XC60 t6 and have had issues with the city safety feature on the car. Please read the attached letter sent to Volvo directly after getting no resolution through the local dealership. The 'offer' we received from Volvo added $50 to my per month payment and put me into another 5-year loan, as if we were just another customer coming in to trade in a car. The experience, or lack thereof, with both the local dealership and Volvo directly is incredibly disconcerting. …”

“Issue will definitely will fail to prevent many potential crashes: the horn on our 2015 Volvo XC60 has failed to work for me on 3 or more occasions when it was necessary to warn another vehicle of a potential collision (e.g., other car changing lanes without looking, other car backing out of a driveway without looking). The horn only works if the driver to presses the large center of the steering wheel exceptionally hard to activate it. There is far too much resistance when pushing the center of the steering wheel to effectively activate the horn. …”

“Multiple near-miss collisions + improperly functioning horn: the horn on my 2015.5 Volvo XC60 has failed to work effectively on about 5 or more occasions when it was necessary to warn another vehicle of a potential collision (e.g., other car changing lanes without looking, other car backing out of a driveway without looking). This issues is clearly a failure in design and not a defect specific to our vehicle, since the horn does in fact work. However, it only works if the driver to presses the large center of the steering wheel exceptionally hard to activate it. …”
