2017 Volvo V60CC: complaints, problems and recalls

The piston rings failed on the 5 cylinder engine. The car is not available for inspection as I got rid of it since it cost 16k to repair. My saftey and many others were put at risk as it would cause the engine to heat up excessively and possibly cause a friction weld of the pistons to the crank. This could imobilize the car during driving and cause a crash. I had the car inspected by a automotive tech and the piston rings were found to be at fault. I also had volvo themselves check snd they came to the same conclusion. They said this was normal…

WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, GOING DOWN A STEEP (APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREE DECLINE) THE NO OIL PRESSURE ALARM WAS TRIGGERED AND SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS TO PULL OVER AND STOP ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE CLOSEST VOLVO DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE PISTON RINGS HAD FAILED/WERE FAILING LEADING TO RAPID, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. VOLVO HAS BEEN AWARE OF FAULTY PISTON AND OIL CONTROL RINGS IN THEIR ENGINES MADE FROM 2012-2016 AND HAVE DEVELOPED A REMEDIATION PROCEDURE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE DESIGN FLAW IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH CO…

I have an ongoing but intermittent problem with door and hatch releases on my 2022 Volvo wagon. The car has been looked at several times and the dealer can't find the problem. My hatch popped open while driving on RT 395 at 55. My doors either won't open from the outside or alternatively from the inside using the remote. Both remote keys have been tested with the same results. Driver's door and front passenger door are the most frequent problems. As soon as I click on upload my documents the link disappears. I have video of attempts to op…

Front left axle shaft failed at 18,000 miles, producing noticeable noise and vibration when accelerating and turning to the right. The car has never been in an accident, nor has there ever been an incident (e.g., striking a curb) or other abuse that could have caused this failure. Fortunately I brought it into my local Volvo repair shop before further damage to the transmission and other connected parts. Test drive by the repair shop confirmed the vibration at various speeds and maneuvers. Cost to replace the axle was $1,056.75. I contact…

In the past two years, my car has had 3 wheel sensors fail. When a wheel sensor fails while driving, things can get dangerous. When this happens, the following systems immediately fail in a chain reaction of events: ABS system, ESC Control, tire pressure monitoring, and loss of power. It’s dangerous when it happens on the road because the brakes are not working and the accelerator won’t accelerate. I have to pull off the road immediately to get out of the way of traffic. This is the 3rd time it’s happened and I’ve only driven the car 9k miles s…

CONCERN: Volvo cars’ sunroofs are negligently designed, allowing sunroof drain obstructions to flood the vehicle’s internal electronics. This results in catastrophic and simultaneous system failures, including brake loss, airbag failure, and disabled traction control, posing an extreme and imminent safety risk. SUMMARY OF EVENTS: While driving at speed, I received a “BRAKE FAILURE / PLEASE STOP SAFELY” warning, followed by “ABS / ESC” and “SRS Airbag” failure messages. This led to a sudden and dangerous loss of braking power and airbag system f…

All of the sounds in the vehicle just stops. This has happened twice while driving the vehicle. No saftey warning sounds, no idiot light sounds, no turn signal sound and no radio. The vehicle still runs; however all the the safely ADAS systems remain silent. There are no warning sounds for any of Volvo's advanced safety systems. This is a series safety issue since there are no sounds; someone would have to constantly watch the dashboard instead of watching the road while one is driving.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which I struck a bull moose on Route 2 eastbound in Leominster, MA. I was traveling at approximately 65Mph at the time of the strike. The primary area of impact was the driver's side. The moose struck the front radiator, rolled into the windshield, broke the glass and dented the A pillar, and crumpled the roof a bit as it rolled back and off of the vehicle. The steering wheel was badly damaged and actually stopped the body of the moose from further entering the vehicle and potentially killing me. Th…
