Volvo Cars is a Swedish multinational manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Torslanda, Gothenburg. The company manufactures SUVs, station wagons, and sedans. The company's main marketing arguments are safety and its Swedish heritage and design.

If you're looking for proof that station wagons aren't dead, just take one look at the handsome, long-roofed 2020 Volvo V60: Practicality has never been sexier. In true Volvo fashion, both a standard wagon and a Cross Country variant are offered, the latter of which takes on the Audi A4 Allroad with its more rugged appearance, extra ground clearance, and standard all-wheel drive. In both guises, the V60 wagons offer the upscale appearance of the V90 and V90 Cross Country but in size small. A turbocharged four-cylinder is the standard powertrain but a performance-oriented plug-in-hybrid model tops the range and offers up to 22 miles of electric-only driving in addition to brisk acceleration.

Random airbag exploding -- O.k. Volvo v70 rainy evening. I go to my car to run an errand, get in, start it and BOOM! Thought I had been shot. I turned the car off jumped out half deaf and realized what had happen. What the hell.

I own a 2012 Volvo XC90. I purchased this new. I chose a Volvo because of their reputation. Turns out that they are riding on a reputation that is no longer is accurate. I drive quite a bit. Mostly long distance freeway. At 150k miles the car needs new catalytic converters. Volvo quoted 7k for the repair. Now the transmission is slipping. Blue book on this car is only about 7k. Better off taking it to the wrecking yard. Volvo customer service was no help. Car has been well taken care of. Still looks new but has absolutely no value. I'll never buy a Volvo again.

Car died. Battery was already replaced at just over 50,000 mile. Have 81000+ now. Could not get car to start and then it would not shut down lights on and ac going. Dealership cannot give a date when they can diagnose. No loaner cars avail. All of this technology on cars just presents an opportunity to have errors and problems. No more Volvos.

I had service performed on my 2005 XC90 V8, replacement of a serpentine belt and a pulley, at Chase Parkway Volvo. Later, the service manager states that I need to replace an additional pulley and tensioner as well as tie rods in my front wheels. I wondered what my tie rods had to do with the serpentine belt repair and why was I not informed about the additional pulley and tensioner. At the same time, I was informed on the belt and pulley which was the reason the vehicle was in for service. Well, I did not let that dealership do the additional work. So when my SUV was finished, I noticed that the check engine light was on. I immediately turned off the vehicle and entered the service shop informing the tech that did the repairs and did the very long test drive that this light was on.The tech quickly stated that, "Well, it was not on when I drove it" and then walked out to the car and found what I told him was in fact true. Okay, so the SUV was brought back into the shop and connected to the computer. Within seconds, it showed codes. The tech claimed he did not know what the codes meant. The service manager then came over telling the tech he had to stop working on my SUV and go deliver a new car. Next, the service manager told me that if I wanted him to check the SUV any further, I would have to pay for it. I told the manager that the light was NOT on when the SUV came in for service. The tech turned off the warning light, told me that the light may come back on but it's okay to drive. I asked for a copy of the sheet with the codes and left.Just after a short drive home, the check engine light comes on again, so I made an appointment with another dealership in Milford, CT. I told the service advisor I wanted to have a tensioner and pulley installed as advised by Chase Parkway Volvo. Well, once the tech from CT's Own Volvo looked at the sheet I gave them showing the codes, he knew just where to look and found what he needed then. This tech found that the MAF (Mass Air Filter Sensor) wiring harness was PINCHED and he also found that my oil dip stick was missing. After further inspecting the XC90, he determined that I did not need to replace the pulley or the tensioner nor did I need tie rod, as claimed by Chase Parkway Volvo. CT's Own Volvo tech made a repair to the wiring harness and made a temp fix to the dip stick shaft because the dip stick needed to be ordered.I drove back to Chase Parkway Volvo and requested they return my oil dipstick. Of course, they claimed they had no need to remove it and did not know where it was, never saying anything about where I had the XC90 serviced Chase Parkway BLAMED the "Other Place" for removing the dipstick. I talked to a female who claimed she was a "Part Owner". Her first offer after denying that they had anything to do with its disappearance is paying half then after coming back from the parts dept, she asked if I would pay $12 for a new dipstick. A few days later, I went to pick up the part and the parts manager told me NO CHARGE. Okay fine, that's how it should be.Now, I had called Volvo of America and filed a complaint that Chase Parkway tried to have me pay for parts that I did not need and that the oil dipstick was missing, the MAF wiring harness was pinched and the issue regarding the check engine light. Okay, a few days later after filing the complaint, I was contacted by customer service of Volvo of America and informed that the regional manager for that area would be informed of the issue and that I would not be informed as to what the outcome was. They wanted to keep it "In House". Now, there are two invoices from two different Volvo dealerships saying two different things, one showing an additional charge for repair in the amount of $1,300 and one that states that those parts are not needed. I filed with the BBB and that was a waste of GOOD time. Of course, Chase Parkway denied and made excuses for everything, but they could not and would not explain how my SUV was damaged and came up missing the oil dipstick. They claimed they spent over 30 minutes looking for reasons the codes appeared and did not charge me. They stated I refuse to let them make the repairs meaning install the additional parts pulley tensioner and tie rods. They denied doing any inspection and that the MAF was nowhere near the repairs they made. They refused to explain how and why they found I need tie rods since they did not do an inspection. The tie rods are in the wheels a good distance from the engine. Now the MAF is located as you face the SUV on the right side and it is under the air filter enclosed in a box that requires "Special Tool" to remove.To date, Volvo of America has made NO EFFORT to examine the XC90 to find out if in fact Chase Parkway tried to charge for repairs that were NOT NEEDED, or if CT's Own Volvo did not do the inspection to Volvo's standard. What Volvo of America did was to COVER UP for a BAD dealership. I will not buy another Volvo EVER and I have been buying them for over 30 year. This XC90 was my 8th Volvo. I can't drive the XC90 further than 25 miles from home in fear that the transmission will stall again while in traffic. This is a major safety issue that Volvo HAS NOT addressed. I suggest that if you buy Volvo, DO NOT buy at CHASE PARKWAY VOLVO, Watertown, CT. Should you do, then make sure you keep an eye on what work you have done and all parts they charge or claim you need.

In 2008, I purchased a white 2008 Volvo S40 brand new car from the dealership with 100 miles. On May 24th, 2014 (a month and a half ago), my Volvo was parked on a hill with the hand brake engaged. On that day my vehicle had 59,100 miles on it. That day, my car rolled down a hill and struck a 2014 Ford F-150. Being that I am cheap and only had liability insurance, my insurance company only covered the vehicle that my Volvo struck. My flawless car was now damaged and bruised with tons of work to be done.A police officer knocked on my door roughly 20 minutes after the accident and told me what had happened. The police officer noted that when he had arrived to the scene of the accident, he noticed the hand brake was fully engaged and that my car was completely locked. Being that this was not an act of negligence, I knew that there was something up the hand brake. When I found out that my insurance wouldn't cover the costs of the damages done to my vehicle, I called Volvo to start investigating. Once I called them, they said they would have an inspector/engineer come out to "check" the car.After two weeks and no follow up, I called again to schedule an appointment. This time they asked me to drive my damaged vehicle to the nearest dealership to have the engineer inspect it there. I had to crawl through my passenger door because of the one side pinching my driving door to where it couldn't open properly, then drive it there. When arriving the inspector/engineer hopped in and went on a test drive to test the hand brake. He first set it on an incline to test the hand brake. As he engaged the handbrake, he disengaged the brake and both of us were witnesses to the vehicle moving down the hill. This resulted in having a defective hand brake. The hand brake needed adjustment according to the engineer. He said Volvo is not responsible because in the warranty and services manual, in tiny writing on only one small page, it says to check/adjust the handbrake every 15,000 miles.Therefore, Volvo North America would not take any responsibility and I am left with a pos damaged Volvo. Is Volvo to blame or is my local mechanic shop? They don't tell their customers about these small issues and checks and on top of it all, my car only has 59,000 miles and I bought it BRAND NEW. WHY would it need adjustment after only 59,000 miles. Service History Details: I had all my services done on time until 30,000 miles at the Volvo dealership. After 30,000 miles it was more convenient for me to take it to a local Kwik Kar Lube Mechanic shop to have my regular maintenance. From 30k-60k I've had all maintenance done on time there at the shop.

Wheel fell off New XC60 at 580 miles. Driving on the freeway at rush hour, probably doing 30 MPH the front driver's side wheel departed the car. I drove safely off the highway and the wheel didn’t hit any other vehicles. Volvo USA claimed no responsibility, the dealer sent me away with no support. Repairs cost just over $6400. Volvo USA’s FSR said if the wheel wasn’t properly torqued it would have failed with 10 miles. Volvo San Diego stated that they DID NOT check wheel lug torque during Pre Delivery Inspection.Volvo San Diego’s service manager John ** told me that the FSR checked all the lug nuts remaining on the car and they were all “torqued perfectly” - this is improbable since at the scene of the failure I thought I might put the spare on and drive to the dealer - I removed one lug nut on each of the passenger side wheels - when I actually saw the damage on the drivers side I realized what a stupid idea it was and put them back on the car - but the chances I put those two nuts back on at 105 ft lbs with the tiny lug wrench in the car “perfectly” are extremely remote.Mr ** also said they could only get one of the 5 lug nuts on the hub that failed to torque properly, but this damage was due only damage at the time the wheel left the car. I would ask how did they determine this give they didn’t check before delivering the car. I asked Volvo USA to provide the calibration records for the equipment used to install the wheels at the factory in China for the time of assembly. They didn’t even respond to this request - except to acknowledge it was received. I believe Volvo did not properly investigate this incident, they failed to properly back their product and their dealer let me down as a customer by totally ignoring this failure and to my knowledge they still don’t do a basic safety inspection of checking torque on lug nuts before allowing customers to drive away.

This review is describing the experience with 2021 Volvo S60 T6 AWD Inscription, having last for VIN digits **. The car was ordered in June of 2020 and delivered to the dealer from factory on 10/23/2020. It was equipped with all available options, including Polestar software, with out-of-door price of $57,450. The car was received from the dealer (Volvo Cars Mission Viejo) on 10/29/20, approximately 90 miles away from my residence – no San Diego dealer was actually willing to order the car using preconfigured specifications from Volvo website.The car failed at mile 28 away from the dealership – the odometer was at 34 miles. The first indication was that “signals are at fault”, immobilizing the left turn signaling. When the dealer was contacted the same afternoon, we were told that the car needs to be towed in (from 90 miles away), since one should not drive without operational signals. We never heard from them again. That was just the beginning of the S60 experience.During the next few days, we tried to contact Volvo directly, who advised us “that it is now dealership problem”. Not receiving any response from Volvo Cars Mission Viejo, we tried to schedule local (San Diego) service. We were put thru gauntlet, being berated by “why did you not buy the car from us” and “it serves you well since you did not buy the car here”.Finally, the car was taken to San Diego Volvo, by scheduling the appointment and the car loaner. The “customer adviser” did not show up at scheduled time; we were told to “wait until someone shows up”, since “he owns the appointment”. Hours later, he did show up and informed us that there is “no car loaner” – in spite of guarantee that one would wait for us. Having no choice, we left the car with the dealership overnight.The next morning, I was informed that the car is “repaired” – the claim was that the entire left-side electronic module (responsible for 360 camera and signaling) was faulty and was replaced. Attempting to collect the car the next day, we were presented with the same fault (no signal, no 360 degree camera) and were sent back on our way (sans car), forced to leave the car over the weekend. The next week, we were summoned again to collect the car. This time around, the car functioned for 3 (three) full days, resuming the same fault. It then escalated: it refused to start, at random intervals.We are now stuck with a brand-new vehicle (less than 500 miles on the odometer) and no recourse other than to hire an attorney. As far as buying this car – please pass. While it looks good on paper (which is why we bought it), it is the most unreliable vehicle I have ever had – including the garage queen Audi Q5. When it does drive, it is inferior to A4 and much, much worse than any Lexus sedan we owned (LS and GS). Any comparison with BMW 3 series (presumed competition) is just laughable – its handling is boat-like for anyone accustomed to BMW precision and stiff chassis. However, much, much worse than the vehicle is actual Volvo customer “support” – it turns out that there is no such thing in existence.

I bought a 1998 Volvo Cross Country v70 AWD turbo charged station wagon. Within a day of purchase, the car overheated. The lot said to bring it in. The car sat there all day and I picked it up untouched. I had the cracked radiator replaced, only to find it started running badly. I put it in the shop, they still have it; $2,400.00 later, the third gear was shattered. Turbo is completely missing from the car, as well as rear drive line, so it is neither all wheel drive or turbo charged. The fuel injection system needs to be replaced, it won't pass smog and the lot (Robert **) has not paid DMV fees that I paid to him. There are no plates for the car. I have begun an investigation for fees and plate with DMV. Also, the front two tires were bald at purchase and I had to replace them. I found out the car has a salvaged title. I bought the car out of desperation for $3,900.00 and after repairs, it will cost almost $10,000.00. What can I do legally with this terrible as is purchase?

March 2016 our Volvo truck was taken due to breakdown. Diagnosis was that the fuel pump needed replacement. It took about 4 weeks at Gateway Trucks & Refrigeration in Collinsville, IL. May 17 truck shows errors. Took it to M&K Trucks in Des Plaines, IL. It turned out it was an engine overhaul. Truck was again down for 4 weeks. A week after we picked up truck we got an error on the screen, and M&K diagnosed to the problem as having metal shavings in the fuel line. They asked for paperwork from Gateway and after a week we got our truck back, and they said that the issue was covered under warranty. July 1st same error returns. Took the truck back to M&K and the same diagnosed metal shavings in the fuel line. 3 days later we are told that Gateway only warranties labor for 90 days, although according to M&K this was a workmanship problem, and Volvo can't cover. It is Gateway's responsibility. M&K has tried to get Gateway to review case showing that the truck has only work a few weeks and that only 20K miles has been run since their repair. I opened a case with Volvo directly, Case #**, and a week later I called to get update, and was told case was closed, and I should deal directly with both Volvo dealers. 7/15 I asked for case to be reopened and escalated. 7/19 Volvo informs me that they have escalated case to a FSM and that is as high as it goes, but this person has not updated the case yet. M&K on the other hand is trying to mediate through a Cummins rep with Gateway.In the meantime we have not been able to work with our truck for over 2 weeks due to negligent work and lack of work ethic from Volvo-approved dealership which means over $12K in lost revenue. As a word of caution, Volvo informed me that both dealers are independently owned and operated, and that if I ever break down again and want Volvo to be responsible for the work I should call their toll-free number and get an owned Volvo dealer. So disappointed that the end customer gets a runaround. I am sure it is because we are are not a big company so nobody cares about the impact their negligent work has on our lives.

I love my 2016 XC90 Volvo. We built it and in three months picked it up at the dealership. Maybe I am old school but I just don't understand all the hype on the key Fob. It stinks. Most women like me keep their keys in their purse. I placed my purse on the floor in the back seat of my vehicle and then strapped my two year old in his car seat; like I always do. It has been a routine I followed with all three of my children. After I closed the back door I opened my driver door only to find it locked. I went to the back door and that was locked. It was 90 degrees outside and my car was not shaded. My son was inside baking as I screamed and swore. I called my husband to come and give me his spare key.To make a long story short, somebody called the police and he was able to unlock my car quickly. My child was fine. There is no warning or sensor in the vehicle that detects the car key inside. I learned the car will ding if you leave your Fob in your coffee cup holder. No place else! If you drop them on the floor, in the back, anywhere you will get no warning. I still do not know how the doors all got locked. Nothing like technology trying to think for you and doing a lousy job. All these safety features end up hurting all of us in the long run. I learned that I had the child lock feature on in the car and that may have been the reason for the car doors locking.I still don't know and lost confidence in this Fob technology. I am very nervous every time I leave my car and rarely do I have pockets to put the Fob in. I will no longer put the Fob in my purse so I end up carrying it with me trying to unstrap my child from his car seat with one hand while holding this darn Fob in the other. Please Volvo, go back to the key in the ignition. Lighten up with the locking mechanisms making it safer; really. I am a prime example of why cars should not be locking unless you press a key from inside. That is how it use to be. All these sensors for safety nearly hurt my child.
