Wheels · reported Nov 5, 2026

The absence of a conventional, continuously visible engine-temperature gauge. The lack of readily accessible individual tire-pressure readings in PSI for each tire. These are practical pieces of information that I believe drivers should be able to access conveniently. Relying primarily on warning notifications rather than providing readily accessible operating information is not what I expected from a premium vehicle. Again, these characteristics were not adequately explained to me before I entered into the lease agreement. 3. DRIVER'S DOOR â RADIO AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATES WHEN REOPENED…

Electrical System · reported Nov 4, 2026

I am reporting multiple compounding engineering and manufacturing defects on my 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid that create severe highway driving hazards. 1. POWER TRAIN / ACCELERATION DEFICIENCY: The vehicle exhibits highly unpredictable and dangerously insufficient acceleration during critical highway overtaking maneuvers. When attempting to pass heavy trucks or merge into fast-moving traffic, the powertrain fails to deliver the responsive power required for safe passing speed, creating an immediate rear-end collision risk from oncoming traffic. 2. CHASSIS / SUSPENSION INSTABILITY: The…

Electrical System · reported Oct 15, 2026

I purchased the above vehicle new on October 31, 2025. It has had a defect in its infotainment and center display system from the moment of delivery. The system failed while the dealerâs technician was demonstrating it to me on delivery day, and the vehicle went back into the shop before I could take it home. The defect has never been corrected. The system reboots itself regularly. Audio fails completely, including turn signal sounds. Settings change on their own when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. I raised these failures in person with both the service and sales departments at my…

Steering · reported Aug 26, 2026

I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the driver-assistance, lane-assist/steering intervention, and automatic braking systems in my 2026 Volvo XC60. I purchased the vehicle new on May 20, 2026, and it currently has approximately 10,000 miles. I have experienced repeated unexpected steering intervention while driving. On multiple occasions, the vehicleâs lane-assistance system has pulled or attempted to steer the vehicle toward oncoming traffic, requiring me to actively correct the steering. At other times, the steering intervention creates a sensation similar to hydroplaning…

Unknown or Other · reported May 25, 2026

The vehicle has experienced intermittent loss of power while driving at highway speeds on multiple occasions. The issue occurred twice on Monday and multiple times again on Tuesday. During these events, the vehicle felt as though it may stall or lose propulsion while traveling in traffic. The vehicle has also intermittently exhibited engine rattling and drivability concerns. In addition, the center display screen has blacked out intermittently, and the audio system has periodically failed to function. Because the loss-of-power issue is intermittent and occurs at highway speeds, I no longer…
