Example complaints

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

“My wife and I picked up our new Volvo XC60 t8 a week ago and we tried the park assist pilot function for the first time last night in our apartment's garage. We turned on the park assist pilot for perpendicular park as we looked for a parking spot. After the central monitor indicated a spot has been found, I put the gear in reverse as advised and placed my foot on the brakes as the car begins to do its job. …”

NHTSA complaint #11076417, filed 2018-03, 307 miles

“On the evening of november 20, 2018 my family and I were in a car accident. My daughter was driving my husband's new XC60 that he had recently purchased. As the five of us sat stopped at a traffic light, 2 cars collided and one hit us hard enough from the front corner that the impact forced my daughter back into the seat and then propelled her forward slamming her chest into the steering wheel despite her wearing her seatbelt. No air bags deployed. The damage to the car was so extensive it took over 2 months to repair. Yet no air bags deployed.”
