2010 VOLVO XC60 Complaints

"OIL LOW" MESSAGE APPEARED ON LCD DISPLAY INSIDE SPEEDOMETER DIAL. TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED FOR OIL TO DRAIN (10 MINUTES), AND CHECKED DIPSTICK. BONE DRY. HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL (ADDED WHAT WAS ON STICKER IN WINDSHIELD) TO REACH THE ACCEPTABLE MIDPOINT ON THE DIPSTICK. CAR SHOULD NOT BE USING HALF OF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE BETWEEN SERVICES. PROBLEM HAS NOT POPPED UP BEFORE THIS. AS A CAR MAY BE 1 QUART LOW AT TIME OF SERVICING, BEING HALF EMPTY IS UNACCEPTABLE. CAR HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE BUILT-TO-ORDER NEW IN 2010. VOLVO XC60 T6 AWD. *JS

PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY, PRESSED ON BRAKE PEDAL. FOOT WAS ON EDGE OF BRAKE PEDAL, AND RUBBER COVER POPPED OFF. AFTER INSPECTING, IT APPEARS THAT THE "LIPS" ON THE BACK END OF THE RUBBER PEDAL COVER THAT HOLD IT TO THE METAL PEDAL ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO GRASP THE PEDAL SECURELY. IT SHOULD WRAP AROUND THE PEDAL LIKE A RUBBER BAND, BUT THERE IS SO LITTLE EXTRA RUBBER ON THE BACK THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE RUBBER COVER COULD LITERALLY POP OFF, AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT DID. GO INSPECT YOURS. THIS WAS ON A 2010 XC60 T6 AWD WITH STANDARD RUBBER PEDALS. UNDERNEATH THIS RUBBER COVER (THE TRACTION ON THE PEDAL), IS A PIECE OF UNTEXTURED METAL WHICH HAS ZERO TRACTION. DRIVING, THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SLIGHTLY WET AND THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP IF YOUR FOOT SLIPS DUE TO NO RUBBER ON THE PEDAL ANY MORE. *JS

AFTER STARTING UP FROM A STOP, CITY SAFETY ACTIVATED WITH AN EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTIVATION, WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND US. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE ACTIVATION OF THE BRAKES, VEHICLE IN FRONT WAS ACCELERATING AWAY FROM US, PLENTY OF SPACE BETWEEN US, AND SPACE WAS INCREASING. THIS OCCURRED ON 3 MORE OCCASIONS BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE DEALER. MY WIFE HAS NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE, AS SHE NO LONGER FEELS SAFE, WORRIED ABOUT SELF, AND THE BABY DUE TO HARD STOP OR IF REAR ENDED. *TR

2010 VOLVO XC-60. CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING THE FUEL TANK BEGAN TO BRISKLY LEAK GASOLINE *TGW THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUME THE FUEL LINE WHICH CONNECTED TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS A NEW CAR, WITHIN THREE WEEKS OF PURCHASE, THE AIR-CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT A PEBBLE HIT THE CONDENSER, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $950.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I GOT A MANAGER AND THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP INVOLVED, AND THEY FINALLY AGREED NOT TO CHARGE ME. INASMUCH AS I AM ON THE TOLL ROAD EVERY DAY, AND I AM NOT DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD, I THINK THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THERE APPARENTLY IS NOT PROTECTION FOR THE CONDENSER. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THIS CAR WAS TO BE DRIVEN ON A GRAVEL ROAD? IN FORTY YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT VOLVO SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND DEVELOP SOME SORT OF PROTECTION FOR THE CONDENSER, AS THIS IS A TREMENDOUS LIABILITY.

I OWN A 2010 VOLVO XC-60, PURCHASED IN SEPT. 2009. TODAY, FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 6 MONTHS THIS VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. ALL THREE TIMES THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 1/2 AND THE ODOMETER MESSAGE SAID "140 MILES TO AN EMPTY TANK. SINCE BOTH MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IT IS DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER HOW MUCH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE LAST FILL-UP. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN AT HIGH SPEED ON A HIGHWAY, AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, OR AT NIGHT IN AN ISOLATED OR UNSAFE LOCATION. THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP AGAIN HAS THE CAR IN FOR REPAIRS, TWICE THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT VOLVO KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO FIX IT. *TR

2010 VOLVO XC60 SURGED ON THREE OCCASIONS WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE TACHOMETER READING WAS 2500 RPM. THE LIGHT HAPPENED TO TURN GREEN BEFORE THE VEHICLE WENT ANY FURTHER. THE SECOND TIME, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE THIRD TIME, WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SURGED AND THE TACHOMETER READING WAS 4500 RPM. THE CONSUMER PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE TACHOMETER INCREASED TO 5500 RPM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS A LEASE, THE DEALER GAVE THE CONSUMER ANOTHER VEHICLE, SAME MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE ALSO SURGED WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND SHOT FORWARD INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. *JB
