2015 Volvo V60 owner complaints

Excessive oil consumption. Piston ring failure. Cylinder 1 spark plug failure due to oil buildup.

The car, 2015 Volvo v60, began shutting off its motor when I came to a stop or when I put it in park and a few times when I came to a hard stop. This would require my putting the car in park, if not already, pressing the break pedal and pushing the start button. During these times, the steering wheel would lock up as it should if a driver purposely turned their car off. The symptom would happen intermittently. I left my car for a week with the local Volvo dealer hoping this sporadic problem would be successfully diagnosed. A service department tech drove my car for the week. At the end of the week, I was told my car did not exhibit any of the symptoms, but, if a warning appeared on the dashboard, this would precipitate a diagnosis. Two months later the problem became much worse and

Volvo cars from 2014-2016 has oil consumption due to the bad piston rings design and the manufacturer don’t want to issue a recall for this problem, it’s a serious problem with these models

The engine consumes an excessive amount of oil, requiring the addition of about one quart every few hundred miles. There are no visible external leaks, and the issue appears to be due to internal engine components such as piston rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber. This poses a risk of engine damage and loss of power. The problem has been observed consistently and confirmed by a repair shop. No crash or safety incident has occurred, but the vehicle's reliability and safety are compromised.

This car has an oil consumption problem but Volvo advises it will not repair. Other, similar models have similar oil consumption problems that are the subject of recall. This was also subject of class action lawsuit We have had to spend hundreds out of pocket to repair. Why isn't this model year in the recall? Other years - same engine - before and after this are subject of recall?

Car experiences predetonation/preignition of the spark plugs.

Volvo clearly rates the v60 for towing. However Volvo does not sell their towing hitch and electronics modifications in the united states. This is concerning as their hitches on all other cars interact with the vehicle stability control systems to alter its behavior when towing. Further their european hitch does not end up under the rear bumper energy absorption structure like all of the after market ones available (limiting the effectiveness of the energy absorption ability in a rear impact. Their dealers have no recommendation to maintain a safe vehicle while towing and yet Volvo claims a towing capacity. I've also contacted Volvo via their customer support line and they have no answer for how to safely tow as well as emailing them and getting no response.
