2013 VOLVO XC60 Complaints

WHEN RAINING OUTSIDE WATER DROPS INSIDE ON THE DRIVER FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL . THIS JUST STARTED ON A 7.5 YEAR OLD CAR BUT WITH ONLY 47,850 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS GETTING WET AND IS TOTALLY DISTRACTED AND, IF IGNORED, THE BODY WILL RUST, LOOSENING THE WINDSHIELD.. THE CAR CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN IN THE RAIN WITH THIS LEAK AND IT CANNOT BE LEFT OUTSIDE AT ALL IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF RAIN, UNLESS THE WINDSHIELD IS COVERED WITH PLASTIC. IF I IGNORE THIS THE CAR WILL RUST AROUND THE WINDSHIELD SO AS TO WEAKEN IT'S ROLE AS A PART OF THE SAFETY CONSTRUCTION TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS IN A CRASH.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS WATER RUNS IN FROM SUNROOF AND OR FRONT WINDSHIELD GOT TO WHERE YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IN THE RAIN ANYMORE IT IS SO BAD. STILL HAS THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD IN THE CAR.

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF MY WINDSHIELD DOWN INTO MY CAR. IT IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WATER STARTS TO STREAM DOWN THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TAKE A TOWEL AND WIPE IT DOWN AS I AM DRIVING TO SEE. THE WATER ALSO DRIPS DOWN ONTO THE CONSUL AND ONTO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER LEGS AND FEET. THE INTERIOR GETS WET AND SMELLS SOURED AFTER EACH RAIN. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY ADHESIVE AT THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE READ ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHER CASES AND I AM DISAPPOINTED THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE.

WHEN RAINING, WHILE IN MOTION, THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER WILL LEAK DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THESE LEAKS WILL DRIP ONTO THE HANDS OF THE DRIVER OR THE STEERING WHEEL OR WILL RUN DOWN THE WINDSHIELD, ON THE INSIDE. WHEN DRIPPING TO THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHEEL BECOMES HARDER TO GRIP AS IT IS COVERED IN COLD WATER FROM THE OUTSIDE. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIPS CAN BE DISTRACTING AS COLD WATER DRIPS ON THE DRIVER'S HANDS. WHEN RUNNING DOWN THE INSIDE, THE DRIPS OBSTRUCT SIGHT AS WELL AS DISTRACT THE DRIVER WHILE IN MOTION. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DISTURBING WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IN HEAVY RAIN.

WATER LEAKAGE INSIDE OF FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD DURING LIGHT RAINFALL. CAR WAS STATIONARY. LEAKAGE IS CONTINUOUS EACH TIME IT RAINS. VOLVO XC60 2013 3.2 ENGINE

WINDSHIELD LEAKS SEVERELY WHEN IT GETS WET. THE LEAK IS FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIPS ON TO THE DRIVER, STEERING COLUMN, DASHBOARD AND RUNS DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW. IT LEAKS IN RAINSTORMS, SNOWSTORMS, WHILE SITTING IN A PARKING LOT GETTING RAINED ON AND ESPECIALLY IN CAR WASHES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, HAVING TO TAKE HANDS OFF OF THE WHEEL TO WIPE THE INSIDE OF A WINDSHIELD DURING A STORM AND DRIVING TO BE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY IS A HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLVO XC60. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT INITIALLY CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND SPOKE WITH THREE DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES WHO REFUSED TO INFORM HIM IF THE VIN WAS UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT THEN SPOKE TO AUTOBARN VOLVO CARS OAK PARK (1140 GARFIELD ST, OAK PARK, IL 60304) WHERE HE WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE CONTACT DECLINED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.*DT*DT*JB*JB

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE NOT CRACKS, BREAKS OR ABRASIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT ALL GLASS COMPANIES IN THE AREA ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SAY THAT IT IS AN ORIGINAL/MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF IT IS RAINING WHILE I AM DRIVING THEN THIS WOULD IMPAIR MY VISIBILITY AND CAUSE DISTRACTION. ALSO IF AN AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY THEN IT WOULD COULD CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE CAR. I DIDN'T HAVE A LEAK UNTIL I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. THEY RAN IT THROUGH A CARWASH AND THEN AFTERWARDS I MAGICALLY HAD A LEAK IN AN AREA THAT IS WELL KNOWN FOR FAILING.

FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD SEAL IS UNBONDED AND WATER RUNS DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN, REDUCING VISIBILITY WITH NO WAY OF CLEARING IT WHILE DRIVING. WATER PENETRATION FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALSO PRODUCES CONDENSATION, FURTHER REDUCING VISIBILITY. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING IT BEGAN RAINING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WATER BEGAN RUNNING DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND I COULDN'T SEE CLEARLY ENOUGH TO CONTINUE DRIVING SAFELY, SO HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH.

WHEN ENTERING THREE LOCAL INTERSECTIONS THE CITY SAFETY AUTO BRAKE ENGAGES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT THESE 3 LOCATIONS. THEY ARE LIGHT CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS WITH INGROUND SENSORS. SPEEDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LESS THAN 10 MPH. THE MOST CONCERNING EXAMPLE WAS THE BRAKING STOPPED THE CAR AND THEN WHEN MY SPOUSE ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IT STOPPED HER AGAIN AND SHE WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. ALL THREE APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN UPDATED OR ARE NEW. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR PROBABLY A YEAR AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AT THESE INTERSECTIONS 100% OF THE TIME, BUT THESE ARE THE ONLY INTERSECTIONS WE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE, IN THE 4 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT WHEN IT WAS IN FOR OUR LAST OIL CHANGE AND THE COMPUTER IS NOT INDICATING ANY ERROR CODE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. SO THE SYSTEM THINKS THERE WAS SOMETHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I HAVE NOT FOUND VERY MUCH ONLINE WHEN TRYING TO SEARCH THIS ISSUE. THE DATE I AM LISTING WAS THE MOST RECENT. WE DO HAVE A VIDEO FROM YESTERDAY.
