Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“The rear passenger door on this 4 year old car will not open from inside, nor outside. This is a huge safety issue, as any emergency egress from that point will not be possible. I can imagine the outcome if we were in an accident and needed to try to exit via that door. I chatted with Volvo and they simply recommended opening a case with their 800 number. I've seen forums with many other people having this same problem with Volvos for many years.”
NHTSA complaint #11555887, filed 2023-11“After I parked my car, the driver’s seat back tilted forward towards the steering wheel and could not be repositioned either manually or electronically. I could barely squeeze in and certainly could not drive the car with the seat in that position. The car needed to be towed to the dealer and Volvo replaced all related components, which were under warranty. If this had occurred while I was driving, the situation would have been extremely dangerous. There were no prior warnings of the seat back failure.”
