2015 Volvo XC60 owner complaints

If you are thinking about buying a Volvo, please consider otherwise. I am currently driving a 2015 xc60 t6 and have had issues with the city safety feature on the car. Please read the attached letter sent to Volvo directly after getting no resolution through the local dealership. The 'offer' we received from Volvo added $50 to my per month payment and put me into another 5-year loan, as if we were just another customer coming in to trade in a car. The experience, or lack thereof, with both the local dealership and Volvo directly is incredibly disconcerting. As a result, we will never purchase another Volvo. *tr

I was driving and my vehicle completely shut down leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. I was not able to turn on the hazard lights. It appeared as if someone completed unplugged my car from the power outlet. Completely black screen on all electronics and if the door opened no lights came on. I have the vehicle at the dealer and they indicated that their might be a corrupt file and a software update is required. I just want to make sure this does not happen to anyone else. This happened while I was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. Also, the car was not able to go in neutral.

Passenger side blis works intermittently, drivers side works flawlessly. Returned to dealer multiple times, unable to effect repair. Have appealed to Volvo, waiting communication. Dealer states I should not expect the passenger side blis to work the same as the drivers side. I should be more aware, and not expect the passenger side blis to work consistently, that would be unreasonable.

Passenger side blind spot sensor works intermittently. Often will not detect vehicles the size of a truck.

Multiple near-miss collisions + improperly functioning horn: the horn on my 2015.5 Volvo xc60 has failed to work effectively on about 5 or more occasions when it was necessary to warn another vehicle of a potential collision (e.g., other car changing lanes without looking, other car backing out of a driveway without looking). This issues is clearly a failure in design and not a defect specific to our vehicle, since the horn does in fact work. However, it only works if the driver to presses the large center of the steering wheel exceptionally hard to activate it. There is far too much resistance when pushing the center of the steering wheel to effectively activate the horn (which I have experienced on multiple occasions where I needed the horn to sound for safety reasons, and it did not

Issue will definitely will fail to prevent many potential crashes: the horn on our 2015 Volvo xc60 has failed to work for me on 3 or more occasions when it was necessary to warn another vehicle of a potential collision (e.g., other car changing lanes without looking, other car backing out of a driveway without looking). The horn only works if the driver to presses the large center of the steering wheel exceptionally hard to activate it. There is far too much resistance when pushing the center of the steering wheel to effectively activate the horn. I have even witnessed my husband (who has more arm strength than me) unable to sound the horn when a car was cutting into us from another lane and he was applying a reasonable amount of force.

Excessive Oil Consumption! Safety issue with the speed at which the oil is depleted! I just bought this car two weeks ago and I already have had to add a quart of "synthetic" oil TWICE!, in one Weeks time! This is a safety issue. I have driven less than 500 miles each time the car alerted me to needing a quart of oil. This car was serviced by Volvo of Greenville, SC for all of it's maintenance and based on the service records, I felt safe buying this vehicle because Volvo had always serviced it! I was robbed! This engine is a Lemon and I need it replaced!!!

Between 1000 -1500 miles Oil Level low Refill 1quart/ 1 liter request come on, had no Ideal this Volvo xc60 consume that much oil, I buy Castrol Edge High mileage SAE 5W-30 for engines over 75k at $12.98 including tax add, buying once to twice amount add up ..

Volvo mechanics claim the engine seized due to alternator pulley failure, however, at the time of the event, the engine showed no oil on the dipstick despite having added multiple quarts of oil over the last three months. Volvo has issued an extended warranty letter to customers due to excessive oil consumption, but Volvo failed to provide this letter for this vehicle. I’ve checked Volvo databases for engines matching this extended warranty and confirmed the engine is in fact covered under this extended warranty. Due to Volvo’s failure to communicate this problem, my daughter continued to drive this vehicle until it completely lost power in high speed traffic on I-95 nearly causing an accident and stranding her on the side of the interstate for several hours. Upon arriving at the cite of

02/15/2025 I received a letter for oil consumption recall that was dated on 02/03/2023. Appointment was made same day I received the letter on 02/15/2023 and appointment couldnt be set sooner then 02/23/2023 which is the date the Oil consumption was done at Volvo of Bellevue. They changed the oil and sealed it and had me drive it 1000 miles, they said I didn't have an oil consumption problem and I disagreed because I told them I have to put in oil all the time. They said it has exceeded the 8yr or 100K miles of the extended warranty of the vehicle which ever comes first. I argued it had less then 100K miles when I got the letter on 02/15/2023 and the appointment couldnt be set til 02/23/2025 and Volvo of Bellevue said not to worry about it and they would take care of the recall. But after

On 9/8/2021, Niello Volvo Sacramento service replaced my fuel pressure sensor and fuel line. On 9/15/2021, my engine caught fire and the car was deemed a total loss by insurance company. I drove from my home in Plumas Lake 95961 to Marysville approximately 10 miles away at 9:50 AM, at approximately 10:00-10:05 as I was nearing the end of my trip, a trouble light came on that said “engine performance decreased” and the picture of a turtle appeared on my dash screen, shortly after that another light appeared that said “battery not charging”, I parked my car in the Save Mart parking lot and exited and noticed some smoke coming out of the hood, it was light at first but increased quickly so I called 911 immediately. As I was on the phone with 911, flames began shooting out from under the hood,

Pulling up to a traffic light at about two miles per hour, the engine cut out (as it normally does for start/stop). However, when engine cut, all power systems turned off. The screens went black and no buttons were responsive - the ignition button did not restart the car and the hazard lights would not activate. Power locks did not work. Three minutes later, the car screens turned back on and the engine restarted. I do not recall pushing the start button before it did this, so perhaps the button message was "queued" and waiting when power returned. The battery seems to have adequate voltage under load and the terminals are fastened tightly, so I do not believe this to be a battery-related issue.

Driving in a parking lot ran head on into light pole with concrete bottom at less than 10mph. All airbags deployed and right wrist severely burned. Almost no damage to the bumper insurance claim proposed at 9400 to get fixed. ## VIN passed ## xc60 t5 2015 ##

Since buying our xc60 Feb 2022, anytime we have our grandchildren we buckle their high back car seats in the rear seat of our volvo. Every time we install the car seats, the seat belts will not lock after being buckled. The implications of a seat belt failing to lock a car seat down could he catastrophic. It doesn't matter how many times we expand the belt and release it, tap the brake, buckle or unbuckle the belts will not lock. This poses a life threatening danger to children who are supposed to be safely secured in their seats. Coincidentally, the driver belt randomly locks sometimes even choking me if I lean forward quickly to get a better view. This happens without any sudden braking or change of speed. I have not visited a service center regarding the issue yet, I plan to address the

The tinting on the rear window is so dark, it makes it almost impossible to see anything when driving. I have to rely on the side mirrors only to see if there is anything behind me. It becomes extremely critical when trying to back up using the rear view mirror. You can't see any details and I have scraped objects behind the car.
