HIGH VOLUME15 safety complaints filed with NHTSA
The contact's son owns a 2017 Volvo S60. The contact’s son stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s side door unexpectedly opened. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the driver’s side door latch had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger’s side door unexpectedly opened. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the passenger’s side door latch also had failed and needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle could be associated with a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The mechanic referred the contact to the dealer for further assistance. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The VIN was not available.
Front driver door latch malfunctioning. There was a recall on these, but does not include my vin number.
Yesterday I took my one year old granddaughter to North Carolina, which is an hour and a half drive away. We had breakfast with family members and I loaded her into the back seat. When I closed the door it looked as if the door closed, but as I began to drive, the door swung open. I attempted to close the door again, and the latch would not connect to the hook inside of the driver side rear door. I ended up needing to have my son sit in the back seat and hold the door closed the entire ride home (an hour and a half) to make sure that the door would not open again. I am currently driving my "new" car with a ratchet strap going from door to door to hold the door closed so that I can go to work. I found information stating that there was a recall on the Volvo S60 (2017) but when I enter my VIN nothing displays. I just bought the vehicle in February and the dealership is telling me that this will cost me $450 to repair on my MAX CARE warranty. Why? When the vehicle had a recall on it in 2020 that obviously was never addressed, prior to me purchasing it.
Multiple doors unexpectedly open. Door latches do not lock.
4 new Bridgestone WEATHERPEAK BL 235/45R18 tires were purchased for "mom’s" low mileage vehicle. 8 months / 3,850 miles later, while my daughter was driving it in the center lane of the highway, the front left tire suddenly exploded! Fortunately, there were no injuries but had there been another vehicle at her side, this might have been a different story. The vehicle was towed back to the tire dealer to have the tire replaced. Combined with Bridgestone’s known past tire issues, we are now afraid to drive on the highway on these tires!!
The vehicle was sold with automatic 911 in the case of an accident. That is no longer functional since it uses 3G. Volvo chose to use 3G even though it was supposed to stop working.
The driver door will not latch and stay shut. We are in a warm climate and it happened suddenly. There was no warning lights and the car will drive without the door shut. Extremely dangerous. It hasn’t been looked at by a mechanic yet…it will have to be towed.
The driver door won't lock. The latch on the door is not locking causing the driver door to remain open presenting a safety issue. If the door swings opened because it is not closed properly a accident could occur. Other vehicles in that are the same make, model, and year is under recall. The problem first occurred on Saturday, May 7, 2022. I was driving the vehicle and there was no warning that the door latch had a problem. The door came opened while driving. The vehicle was towed to Southwest Volvo Sevice department and it is determined that the door latch needs to be repaired.
The contact owns a 2017 Volvo S60. The contact stated while entering her vehicle, the sunroof glass detached from the sunroof frame and the glass shattered. The contact was cut from the shattered glass but did not seek medical attention. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,427.
Ran into a pole due to a-pillar blind spot, right side of vehicle. No warnings prior to incident.
MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON. BRING IT TO A BODY SHOP AND NOTHING CHANGED. CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE IT.
THE CAR HAS INTERMITTENT NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE HUB BEARING. THE DEALER AND VOLVO CORP REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE AND EVEN PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT. IF HUB WILL SEIZE IT CAN CAUSE A BIG ACCIDENT IF IT WILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY . ALL THE DEALER AND VOLVO RAP DID WAS DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE BLOCK DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE AND REFUSING TO DIAGNOSE MORE AND REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. VOLCO CORP CLOSE THE CASE ON THIS ISSUE AND REFUSING TO OPEN ANOTHER ONE. MEANWHILE THE CAR NOT VERY SAFE TO DRIVE. SAME ISSUE WAS WITH LEFT SIDE AND IT TOOK VOLVO MONTH TO FINALLY REPLACE IT EVEN THEY HERD THE NOISE BUT DIDNT WANNA BELIEVE IT WAS THE HUB. DEALER IS KUNDERT VOLVO OF HASBROUCK
BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY SWITCHING THE GEAR TO PARK POSITION AFTER TURNING INTO LOCAL ROAD. BRAKE LEVER WAS GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE CAR CAME TO STOP AND ALSO WHILE TRYING TO RESUME DRIVING. CAR WAS STOPPED AND CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE.
SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION OF OVERHEAD SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES OF IT. THE SUNROOF HAD NO SCRATCH, DENTS, OR CHIPS - DEFINITELY NO REASON TO SUGGEST THAT IT MAY LITERALLY EXPLODE OUTWARD OVER MY HEAD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE PHONE WITH MY MOM AND THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD THAT SHE THOUGHT I HAD WRECKED MY VEHICLE DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
