The front seats rock/wobble beyond an acceptable level and present a safety issue. It's very subtle but once you notice you can't not notice. It happens all the time at very low speed when braking (I.e. Pulling out of my garage and switching from reverse to drive) or even in such simple situations as getting into the car. It's the back of the seat that wobbles, but the bottom. I took my car into my local mechanic and he said that the only fix is to replace the entire seat as it's caused by a poorly-designed pivot that is part of the seat assembly. He said he thinks there might be a fix out for the 2018 model year but that the 2017 has not been addressed, even though they are the same design and even though he has seen a number of other v60s with this issue coming up. It's simply poor desig

The sunroof on this vehicle shattered while I was driving. A loud bang and a shower of glass ensued. There were no vehicles directly ahead of me or aircraft flying overhead when the incident occured. I wasn't insured and was able to pull off the road to inspect. No flying object hit the glass as some suspect. The glass shattered on its own. There have been no issues with the sunroof and opening/closing/tilt functions operated as normal. The vehicle will be inspected and repaired at a dealer.

I am a retired Software Engineer and worked in military defense for a government contractor. - - so, I know a software problem when I see it. My car just started to 'free wheel' (meaning, I have no control over the transmission or gas pedal). I was driving over by our local College and stopped for a light. When the light turned Green, I took my foot off the brake and pressed the accelerator. I went No where. . . (me - what is WRONG)? I pressed the accelerator again - nothing (the engine wouldn't even 'rev'). The car is still in gear, but nothing is happening! ! ! Now, what do I do? (th

I bought this 2017 v60 from crippen Volvo in 2019 with only around 1000miles on it. I am the first owner. The transmission act weirdly on the second day I bought it. It has a powe cut between 1st gear and 2 nd gear, just like drving a manual. (only when it is completely warm) bring it to crippen Volvo, they update the software of TCM, things get better a bit. But still jerky from 1st gear to 2nd gear. Bring it to suburban Volvo, they reset everything of the software. Things get better a bit, but the problem came back several days after that. In march 2020, bring it to suburban Volvo again, technician there opened a case with Volvo usa, Volvo usa told them to replace the whole transmission. Job got down after a month. In late april, problem com back again, the new transmission jerky fr
