Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “I purchased a new Volvo XC60 Ultra on 4/17/2026. During the drive home from the dealership, I noticed the right rear passenger window haziness impairing my visibility when checking for blind spots. Initially, I thought the window needs to be cleaned, however all cleaning attempts did not improve the glass transparency; the haziness persisted. I notified the Volvo dealership the next day and I was asked to bring the car back for detailing. …”

It has had a defect in its infotainment and center display system from the moment of delivery. The system failed while the dealer’s technician was demonstrating it to me on delivery day, and the vehicle went back into the shop before I could take it home. The defect has never been corrected.
