2010 Volvo XC60 owner complaints

It has been very cold here in germany. Our temperatures have dropped below zero. I went outside on the 20th to clean off the snow from my car. I walked upon my drivers side window shattered into a million pieces. My car was towed to the dealer only to find it's not under warranty. I love my Volvo, I have only had it for two months and now we have to come out of the pocket for something that happened weather related. *tr

1. Can barely see out of inside rearview mirror in the daytime. Particularly hazardous if cars following do not have their headlights on. Volvo says they cannot lighten/correct the auto dimming mirror. 2. Blis system is not reliable for cars in blind spot and should be ignored. However, it cannot be turned off. Response from Volvo: hi , thank you for contacting Volvo cars of north america. The auto-dim rearview mirror is unable to be lightened for daytime use. There is no permanent shut-off for the blis function in your vehicle. Of course, it can be shut off during use, but must be done manually each time the vehicle is started. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond. Drive safely, Volvo cars of north america*t

Front windshield is not sealed properly. Leaks water at top of windshield and onto the steering wheel. This is not a problem with the sunroof.

Rear window in 2010 Volvo xc60 exploded after small impact into thousands of very sharp shards (not the "pebbles" as is supposed to happen). Shards were sent throughout the cabin including to the passenger seats, windscreen, speedo, etc. This does not seem the appropriate way for tempered glass to behave. *tr

Although the car was a new car, within three weeks of purchase, the air-conditioner did not work. When we brought it into the dealership, the service manager said that a pebble hit the condenser, and I was told that I would be charged $950.00 for the repair. I got a manager and the owner of the dealership involved, and they finally agreed not to charge me. Inasmuch as I am on the toll road every day, and I am not driving on a gravel road, I think this has to be a design flaw because there apparently is not protection for the condenser. What would happen if this car was to be driven on a gravel road? In forty years of driving, I have never heard of anything like this happening. I also believe that Volvo should recall these cars and develop some sort of protection for the condenser, as

Driving at slow speed with no cars in front or behind me. Suddenly the car engaged the city safety and it came to an abrupt halt. *tr

While I was driving the car around a corner after stopping, I had a frontal collision with another car. My crash avoidance system did not activate. I would like the black box of my vehicle to be checked. Volvo north america was not helpful when I called them.

Battery drain from satellite in vehicle. Also, when engine is off, the radio comes on unless manually turned off. However, even with everything off, battery still drains. I have been left in now two areas without a running car. I replaced the battery in approximately august, 2016 after having it towed to a Volvo dealer in southern california and also replaced the battery a Volvo repair shop in august, 2018 in southern oregon. I am worried that with the continuous draining of the battery caused by something entitled rdar that I will lose all power to my vehicle while traveling on the freeway and in areas away from any assistance for repair (I.e., 2 lane roads to the oregon coast, freeway travel on I-5, etc.). After some research, I find that there is a pending lawsuit for this issue,

There is a class action lawsuit against Volvo for both these problems and I was affected by both this month. 1. Windshield for Volvo xc60 is known for a failure of bonding along the top edge. When I brought it in the service guys were able to just push the windshield upwards and out with their bare hands to show me that there is a huge gap along the top edge. This happened to my car in the past 1 month and ended in a $420 repair that involved popping the whole thing off and resealing it. This is very dangerous because the water drips onto the steering wheel and electronics, which is distracting for the driver, but also obviously a huge threat to the car's electronic system. 2. In the same month, the car just failed completely, flashing all sorts of dashboard lights and demanding to

Tl*the contact owns a 2010 Volvo xc60. Upon starting the vehicle he attempted to operate the air conditioning unit but only warm air would blow from the vents.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Volvo xc60. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the speedometer displayed 80 MPH and the shift lever would shift gears from drive into neutral and then into park independently. The contact mentioned that the electrical system was not working properly. The failure recurred several times. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

The steering sticks/locks and pops when turning to the right making if very hard to impossible to steer, but works fine when turning to the left. The problem is worse when the car first starts and improves as it is driven. The steering gear has been replaced twice now (at 34k and 92k miles). The Volvo dealer reported no problems with the steering pump and could not explain the reasons for the repeated failure, simply reporting the steering gear needed to be replaced again. The problem did go away after replacing it again. The issue was also reported to Volvo of america, as this could be a serious and life threatening failure, by impeding adequate steering.

2010 Volvo xc-60. Consumer states while driving the fuel tank began to briskly leak gasoline *tgw the dealer informed the consume the fuel line which connected to the fuel pump was defective. The repairs were completed under warranty. *jb

The headlight assembly is held in place only by 3 plastic tabs. With time those tabs become brittle and break, and the headlights come off completely loose from the car, held only by the wiring.

Tire pressure sensor gauges are corroded and have failed on three wheels in the last three years.

Airbag fault lamp illuminated. Trouble code U0433 stored in body module (CEM). The problem described is with the closing velocity module, a component of the collision mitigation system. There is a TSB available from Volvo for this code, reference number US25146.1.1. It states a software update must be performed to resolve the error. My complaint is that the airbag system is affected and shows an airbag fault lamp, which prevents passing vehicle inspection in my state. The collision avoidance system can be turned off by the driver. As such, there is no cause for disabling or otherwise negatively affecting the airbag system in the event of a fault. A remedy is not provided free of charge from Volvo, and it should be so as this issue prevents legal operation of the car despite the affected sy
