Engine · reported Oct 27, 2025

Currently on going, second time around with high oil consumption problems. Dealer is saying warranty is holding up repairs, warranty points finger at dealership, and Volvo refuses to address the massive safety problem with oil consumption cars by refusing to fix. I will never buy another Volvo, and strongly recommend anyone considering a Volvo to think about how theyâre treating current customers with the known oil consumption problem (horribly).

Steering · reported Nov 5, 2024

Power steering cuts out intermittently. When I took the Volvo in for a recall (seatbelt Sept 5, 2024) I mentioned to Volvo that this was happening. I was told not to worry about it unless it was more consistent. After that it cut out for about a week. I took it in to my mechanic for a diagnostic, but it had started working again. I was told by the mechanic to save my money for a diagnostic and wait until the problem manifested itself again and park the car and call him. It was gifted t me by my son-in-law but I am afraid to drive it. But, unless I drive it the problem won't manifest.

On [XXX], I was traveling back from North Carolina to Columbia Sc. While driving, I had my cruise control on ~78 mph and had a 4 foot Christmas tree on the top of my car. Suddenly, my car jolted and the car began to run funny. Almost run like there was sand. An alert also popped up on the dashboard that said something to the extent of âdownshift or reduce speedâ I was low on fuel and luckily the next exit was right there. I also scheduled an appointment with my local Volvo dealership as my car is under an extended warranty. I took my car to the dealership and at first they said it was…

Since 2021 my car has been burning excessive oil. I have recently discovered that a defect in the pistons of certain Volvo engines, including the one that is in my car, may be the cause for the excessive oil consumption. I am having check and add approximately add 1-2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles on a car that has only 70,000 on the odometer. The defects, according to a recent class action lawsuit may lead to potentially dangerous outcomes. I seek your assistance in getting help with this issue. I have provided all of the details of my concerns in the complaint which is attached.

The 2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country started burning oil like crazy and the engine light went off. When I checked the levels, it was down multiple quarts. We have had all work done as detailed in the manual at the dealership. We took the car in and they said the Piston rings were damaged and that they had to replace those. Thankfully this was under warranty. They pushed back the repair for several months because this is such a systemic problem they were having a hard time getting the parts, and setting aside the time to do so many.
