“I drove my car to the garage and want to turn off the car. The car suddenly start to accelerate and went through my garage door. All side airbags are popped up, but not front airbag. *as around a year ago, when my drove her car slowly due to heavy traffic, the car stopped and needed to turn on the car. I am not the expert but think the electric control system may have problem of my car.”

“My car stopped in the middle of the road with my child in the car; come to find out their is a starter recall associated with this year make and model, but not associated with my VIN. After numerous other break downs this was confirmed by a mechanic that it is an issue. Volvo stated they could not find the issue unless my vehicle was throwing a code. Which it never did when and would not according to the mechanic due to this issue. Please assist me in getting this issue fixed under the previous recall please.”

“The rearview camera on the new Volvo xc 60 2016 is not reliable - it tends to become extremely hazy with even a slight rainfall and perhaps the positioning of the camera / the material used for the lenses are not ideal. We have had 4 cars from other manufacturers over the past 2-3 years and none of their visual quality degraded to the extent we are seeing it on the Volvo xc 60. I have attached a couple of pictures showing what the images look like after a brief rainfall.”

NHTSA complaint #10943900, filed 2017-01

“Volvo xc60 sunroof drains clog and leak. Sunroof maintenance is not mentioned in owner's manual, and dealer does not clear drains during regular service unless specifically asked to. Leak causes damage to electronic systems including airbag system. While any sunroof has the potential to leak, this leak is caused by a design failure - their design makes it easier for debris to ingress into the tracks and clog them. Cost to fix issue and replace sunroof is over $5000. …”
