Car is 16 months old and a plug in hybrid. After replacement of the 12 volt battery, the on board charger, and the wiring harness due to complete system failure, I picked up the car from service. Within an hour of having the car back, the dashboard suddenly went blank while I was driving. There was no warning or notice. This presented a safety issue as I was using GPS and relying on directions at the time. I pulled over and turned off the car and tried to “reset” the dashboard and was unabl

The rear tailgate has a feature that allows a driver to open it by waving their foot underneath the bumper in case their hands are full. The system will also unsafely cause the door to close if a person places their foot too close when loading cargo. This has twice lowered the door on my head. The most recent time causing bleeding when the latch struck my scalp. This feature should only be used to open the gate, not close it.

When arriving at the high school parking lot to pick our grandson up from band practice, we experienced Sudden Unintended Acceleration of our vehicle as we attempted to pull into a parking spot. This resulted in a collision with another vehicle that had backed into the parking space in front of us. That driver was inside her vehicle and claimed injuries. As you can imagine we were pulling into the space at a very slow rate of speed when all of a sudden the car lunged forward at a high rate of sp

Issue: Sudden, unexpected acceleration when in reverse. Details At about 10:15 am PDT on Saturday September 20th, 2025. My 2025 Volvo XC 60 car was in Pure mode with Creep mode toggled off. I put the car into reverse with the intent to back up 6-8ft. I lightly depressed the accelerator and the car lurched/accelerated backwards at a high rate of speed. I stopped the car by braking, and it is possible the Volvo automatic braking also engaged. I parked the car. When I came back to the car, in

20250825VISIBILITY/WIPER

My 2025 Volvo XC60 Plug-in hybrid Ultimate package was built with laminated rear passenger windows. The car is less than one-year old and both rear passenger windows are very cloudy (see attached), obstructing the vision of the driver in situations such as when changing lanes or parking. This could easily contribute to an accident on the highway or endanger children or pets in driveway conditions. The occurrence of this defect can be found in multiple social media posts and appears to be limi

20250825VISIBILITY/WIPER

The 360 camera system stopped working on my 2025 Volvo XC60 PHEV today without warning. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the camera view window showed up on the screen with a top down of the vehicle, but the surroundings were black and each camera symbol showed up as orange with a cross out through it. Rebooting the system twice did not solve the issue. The software version is 3.7.0 which is the most up to date release.

On several occasions while loading items into the rear storage area, the rear hatch suddenly closed on me without warning, striking me on the head and pinning me under it for several seconds until I was able to force the hatch open. After the first couple of incidents, I thought that maybe I had inadvertently placed my foot under the rear bumper and triggered the swiping sensor causing the hatch to close. After being aware of the very sensitive sensor, I made sure my feet are not anywhere nea
