2015 Volvo S60 owner complaints

Stationary vehicle equipped with keyless ignition and auto engine "start/stop" feature. Vehicle was stopped in driveway. Engine stopped, driver stepped out of car, engine restarted and moved forward, damaging home and barely missed pinning driver against wall. Experienced driver, momentarily distracted, assumed engine was off, and having previously disabled start/stop feature, believed that vehicle was in park as part of normal shutdown - owing to already quiet engine. Call to dealer service revealed "several people" complained of auto start/stop feature but said there was no way to reset default for this feature - the solution was to remember to disable each time driver entered car (Volvo has a disable button on console which defaults to the auto start/stop and requires driver to manual

Sunroof exploded & shattered as I was driving for no apparent reason!!!!

Loud sporadic noise coming from gas hole.*dt consumer stated vehicle cannot accept gas.*jb

While driving on the highway, the rear passenger door unlatched automatically and opened. The vehicle was in the shop for a recall on this part, however it appears that the labor was not done correctly or at all.

City Safety Is randomly Malfunctioning. Vehicle will aggressively apply brakes when there are no objects in front of the vehicle. This has happened in town and on a long driveway.

The low pressure fuel sensor on these vehicles is known by manufacturer to fail. This failure can cause hard start conditions, taking over 5 seconds at times to start the vehicle. The main danger of this comes from the fact this is a vehicle equipped with auto stop/start technology. I have experienced near misses due to coming to a stop at a stop sign and then taking over 5 seconds on occasion for the vehicle to restart the engine. On vehicles with worn fuel pumps this issue could manifest as loss of power under heavy engine load, such as climbing a hill or accelerating from a stop. The failure mode is open circuit, meaning at some point prior to failure there is also a chance of high resistance which on a fuel system component could lead to excessive heat and fire.

The contact owns a 2015 Volvo S60. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that the vehicle had consumed 3 quarts of oil after driving 2,100 miles. Additionally, the contact stated that the low oil pressure warning light only illuminated after the vehicle had consumed over 3 quarts of oil. The dealer was notified of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that an unknown related extended warranty would not be extended to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 90,900.

The engines in these car are built with improper piston rings and the looses compression in the cylinders. This happens at 40k-140k. Volvo admitted to this issue but will not do anything about it.

Requesting reimbursement from Volvo Cars USA for a known defect in the engine’s piston rings. This defect has resulted in excessive oil consumption and necessitated costly repairs. Volvo reached a legal settlement in May 2023 regarding this defect—which affects the piston rings, pistons, and/or piston heads in certain 2013–2016 models. I never received a recall notice or any communication from the company informing me of the issue and the extension of warranty for my car. Had I received a letter before the expiration of the 8-year extended warranty, I would have had the opportunity to have the oil consumption test performed and the piston ring repair completed, all at no cost to me per Volvo quality notice P10207.

The contact owns a 2015 Volvo S60. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed a warning light and message stating to pull over. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and called the manufacturer about the error message. The manufacturer informed the contact to add engine oil to the vehicle. The contact added engine oil to the vehicle to drive to her destination. The following day the contact took the vehicle to the local dealer for an oil change however, the failure recurred several times. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and performed an oil consumption test and diagnosed the failure as an oil filter housing leak. Th

I have been getting a low oil level sign in my car after 5 months of doing an oil change. This is not the first time this has happened. It is suspected this may be a oil consumption issue and not an oil leak as there is no visible sign of oil leak. The oil consumption problem has been confirmed by an independent mechanic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 Volvo s60. While the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, it stalled without warning. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to Subaru of melbourne (located at 4340 w new haven ave, west melbourne, fl 32904, (321) 768-8020) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 49,999.

While driving, all power (all power) is lost, without warning. Driving normally in traffic, the car simply shuts down. Engine stops, no lights (interior or exterior), no dashboard data, safety systems disabled, no turn signals, no power steering, safety flashers do not function, etc. Essentially like the car was tuned off. Try to restart - nothing. After 'resting' for 5 minutes, starts and runs normally. Has reoccurred 3 times. Visits to the dealership have resulted in new battery, and alternator. No definitive diagnosis, just 'hope' that the problem has been fixed. But neither of those repairs have fixed the problem, it reoccured again (3rd time). The car is extremely dangerous to drive in this condition, to me and my family but also to other drivers on the road. It has been towe

The instrument panel goes completely blank for approximately 5 seconds while driving which renders speed, safety warnings, etc. Unavailable during that time. There is no pattern of occurrence. It happens while driving at city or highway speeds. It has always occurred while the vehicle is in a straight line of motion. This starts out on an infrequent basis (once or twice a week) until it manifests into an event of several times a day. I took the vehicle to the dealer the first time on 01/13/2017 with 12,097 miles on the odometer. It was hooked to the diagnostic computer, and when they saw that no codes were stored, it was "fixed" with a driver information module software upgrade. When the problem started again, I took the vehicle in on 07/20/2017 with 16,066 miles on it. Once again

My s60 2015.5 abruptly cut off when at a standstill "stationary" in traffic and on the highway traffic the warning system sound came on, as if close to an object, then the screen flashed on then off one time. Within minutes of a complete stop, the car cuts off completely. The screen displayed "turn on engine." my car had to be placed in park before the engine would start. This had occurred at least three times in 2019. I was wondering if anyone had this experience. The issue was unable to be dupicated and no fault code.

By default, the auto stop/start function is engaged every time you start the 2015.5 vovo s60. The car has about 1,800 miles and was picked up at the end of august, 2015, leased as new. My wife was stopped at a traffic light, on a relatively flat road. The car turned off the engine using the auto-stop/start. When she took her foot off the brake and put it on the accelerator, the car turned off completely. The dash turned off. She had to put on her hazard warning lights, put the car into park and press the stop/start button to start the car. She then was able to put it back into drive and continue. This is not how this is supposed to function. This represents a very serious problem that could result in someone getting rear-ended or not being able to accelerate from a stop in an emergency

I bought the car as a CPO on 9/25/19 32,860 mi. On 8/19/20 at 50,052 the engine failed. The oscillating dampener rubber separated causing serpentine belt to break, which in turn got caught in timing belt which caused that to break which then caused bent valves and valves to break. The failure was sudden. Had I been on the interstate I’d be severely injured or dead. I was told that I needed a new engine but they could not find one. I was told they would completely re-build my engine. In the end they replaced the cylinder head and starter under warranty. I was never told they didn’t re-build the engine and also used “ good parts” from the old engine. In the following months I had the car in the Volvo shop (Hendricks Volvo Charleston, SC). At 50,277 miles the check engine light showed a probl

2015.5 Volvo s60 t5 drive-e, less than 13k miles. Both the left and right front fender surfaces, just behind the front headlights, are extremely hot to touch after normal driving. Bending down to look under the car, I had put my hand above the front wheel and noticed the fender area was extremely hot to the touch. The car had been driven normally and was in my garage at the time; the car was not in the hot sun. The ambient temp was approx. 78f. Using a hand held non-contact thermometer, the front fender surface temperature behind the front headlights was measured - it approached 140f at both fender surfaces. Since these front fenders are readily accessible by small children, these surfaces can be potentially dangerous for some time after the engine has been shut off. As noted in ast

We purchased this car new from the dealer and its great. However, as I hand wash all of our cars, I couldn't help but notice that the right front wheel always has an unusual discoloration, a mix of some kind of fluid with the brake dust. The other 3 wheels exhibit only the usual brake dust; but on the right front this mix of fluid and dust doesn't just wash off. Rotate wheels, the new wheel on the right front exhibits the same discoloration. The dealer insists it is only brake dust. Now, 2 years on, most of whatever fluid was secreting to the right front wheel seems to be gone but, after retrieving the car from its 20k service, I couldn't help but notice a rumble coming from the right front. Sounds like a wheel bearing to me (in my day, I've replaced em). The dealer says its the tires; con
