Example complaints

Electrical system: “Let me Preface this with, my Make, Model, and year for these problems have been recalled back in 2021, however I was not the owner then and my VIN was not listed as an affected vehicle i guess, nonetheless the problem is exactly the same as experienced by those that were listed on the recalls in the past.

NHTSA complaint #11702134, filed 2025-11

Brakes: “Vehicle was in the hold position, as I was completing a transaction at my pnc bank drive up. Upon leaving my foot torched the accelerator lightly.suddenly the car started to accelerate at a very high speed. I braked but could not stop. You could hear the engine revving. I choose to hit a large tree rather than enter a main road.the car wast totaled.”

NHTSA complaint #11298948, filed 2020-01, 2,000 miles

Other or unknown: “In a stationary position, tailgate does not fully latch when button pressed to close it. Have to manually push tailgate down for it to fully latch. Dealership was unable to fix the problem. Problem has been present since purchase.”

NHTSA complaint #11292373, filed 2019-12, 26,000 miles

Steering: “Since purchasing in may 2019, my brake pads were replaced once and my rotors now three times. I have less than 20,000mi on my Volvo. The reason is because of pulsations when I apply the brakes and it can be felt in the steering wheel, at times. My dealer has been stellar in addressing my concerns each time I have had to have it serviced. I have seen on various blogs and consumer sites that this is a rather common occurrence. I believe the rotors either are not equipped for this vehicle or the quality of the rotors are subpar. …”
