For the last year or so I have been experiencing a leak on the passenger side coming from the windshield. It is quite noticeable after heavy rain and even going through the carwash. The water has damaged the interior material right behind the sun visor. As a result, I glued it a few times but of course it is not staying because of the continual rain. I also have to keep a Damp Rid underneath the passenger seat because the car smells damp and musky after it has rained and being closed up. On one occasion, my passenger had been put at risk because they got soaked really bad during a rain storm and became ill. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about it and as you can imagine, my passenger was extremely upset.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2013 S60 VOLVO FOR 3.5 YEARS. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I STARTED NOTICING THAT MY CAR WAS BURNING/ CONSUMPTION AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. I GET MY OIL CHANGED ON THE RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE, BUT I ALWAYS HAVE TO ADD OIL BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THAT A RECALL WAS DONE FOR SOME CARS, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PEOPLE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THESE CARS AND TO HAVE A MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU REVIEW AND EXPAND THIS RECALL INCLUDING MY CAR AND THE HUNDREDS OF CARS WITH THE SAME DEFECTS.

I RECENTLY HAD A RECALL ON A VOLVO FOR DOOR LATCHES. WHEN LOOKING AT OTHER RECALLS, I FOUND THAT THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE, INDICATING LOW OIL PRESSURE, WAS A RECALL ON A PRIOR YEAR, SAME MAKE AND MODEL. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD A POSSIBLE RECALL OF THE WRONG DATE OF MANUFACTURE. I WAS ASSURED BY VOLVO THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED; HOWEVER, IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WAS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, SAYS IT WAS MADE IN THE SAME CITY, AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TITLE ALONG WITH GETTING AN ORIGINAL DATE OF SELL FOR THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT FROM A BUY HERE, PAY HERE PLACE, AND IT HAD AN YELLOW X ON THE INSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I THINK IT WAS AFFECTED BY THE PRIOR RECALL AND THAT I CAN NOT GET ALL THE NEEDED RECALLS BECAUSE THE PRIOR MISPRINT OF THE YEAR WAS NEVER CORRECTED BEFORE IT WAS SOLD TO THE DEALER.

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH FREQUENT SURGES AND JOLTS AT LOW GEARS. THIS ALSO OCCURS AT HIGHER TEMPERATURES (AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE ON HOT DAYS) AND DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON HOT DAYS. TRANSMISSION ENGAGES SLOWLY AFTER A FULL STOP AND OFTEN WITH A JERK, ESPECIALLY FELT WHEN STOPPED AT AN INCLINE. ALL OF THESE JERKS AND JOLTS OCCUR AROUND GEARS 1 OR 2 AND DURING STOPPING OR STARTING FROM STOP.

THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. TRYING TO STAY AHEAD OF IT, I WAS CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 5K WITH FULL SYNTHETIC. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE "REDUCE SPEED OR SHIFT UP", AND A BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ULTIMATELY DUE TO THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION I HAD A BENT VALUE AND NO COMPRESSION OUT OF THE 4TH CYLINDER. VOLVO DID NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIRS OR ACKNOWLEDGE ANY MANUFACTURING ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT REGULARLY SERVICED BY A CERTIFIED VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 3 MONTHS EARLIER.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DID NOTICE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY (CAR DOES NOT BEEP WHEN LOCKING AS USUAL). IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO LOCK PROPERLY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR NEEDS TO BE CLOSED MUCH HARDER THAN USUAL, TECHNICALLY SLAMMED SHUT. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DOOR, I NEED TO EITHER USE THE MANUAL KEY OR ENTER THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR, PROPPING OPEN THE DOOR THAT WAY. THIS IS CAUSING A SAFETY/SECURITY CONCERN, AS I NEED THE VEHICLE TO BE LOCKED AT ALL TIMES.

CAR IS BURNING OIL. NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED VIA MECHANIC OR LOSS ON THE GROUND. HAVE TO PUT MULTIPLE QUARTS OF OIL PER MONTH. THE "CHECK OIL PRESSURE" ILLUMINATES TYPICALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN WHICH IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE, JUST GOOGLE IT. THEY ARE WELL AWARE THAT THESE CARS WERE INCORRECTLY RATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF OIL INITIALLY. VOLVO HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM.

THE CAR IS BURNING OIL. AND LIKE I HAVE READ IN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE VOLVO 2013 S60 OIL HAS TO BE ADDED TOO OFTEN. I JUST HAD REGULAR SERVICE DONE ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO. ON AUGUST 23, 2019 MY "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION MAKING A TURN. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "I CAN'T BE LOW ON OIL". ON SATURDAY AUGUST 24TH BEFORE DRIVING, I CHECKED MY OIL AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS BARELY ANY OIL ON THE DIP STICK. I CALLED THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP THAT I GO TO ALL THE TIME AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY AUGUST 27TH. I TOLD MY SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAD TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE OIL AND THAT THEY HAVE RAN EVERY TEST POSSIBLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I LIKED VOLVO CARS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL AND THIS IS MY SECOND ONE. BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM!

CAR IS BURNING OIL. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE OIL EVERY 2-3 MONTHS WITH NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT IS COMING. THE "CHECK OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT COMES ON, NORMALLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION (SPECIFICALLY, MAKING A TURN), WHEN THERE IS ALREADY BARELY ANY OIL IN THE CAR LEAVING ME VERY LITTLE TIME TO GET IT TO A SHOP TO REPLACE THE OIL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER (IF NOT THAT SAME DAY), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO VOLVO SOUTH SHORE FOR THEM TO DO AN OIL CHANGE ON JUNE 21, 2019 AND MY "OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT FLASHED ON AUGUST 16,2019. BY AUGUST 23, MY "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST SHOP. THEY RAN THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORT AND TOLD ME THE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE THERE WASNT A DROP OF OIL IN THE CAR. ANYTIME I TAKE IT INTO VOLVO TO GET CHECKED, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON BUT ITS NOT LIKE I CAN BRING IT TO THEM WHEN IT DOES BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE TO THEM/WAIT A FEW DAYS FOR AN APPOINTMENT! BY THAT TIME, I CAN FEEL THE CAR GIVING OUT AND ITS NOT LIKE I CAN TAKE IT ANOTHER 20 MILES TO SEE THEM! THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED IS ASTOUNDING. ITS NOT SAFE AND IT SHOULD NOT BE THE INDIVIDUAL'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE AN ENGINE THIS SOON!

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A MOM & POP MECHANIC THAT I USE. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR IS BURNING OIL. IT NEEDED 3 QUARTS. THEY RESEARCHED ON-LINE AND FOUND A 'TECHNICAL JOURNAL' RELEASED BY VOLVO USA TO IT'S SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ENTITLED 'HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION'. 16 DIFFERENT VOLVOS (MODELS AND YEARS) ARE LISTED IN THIS JOURNAL. MY CAR IS ONE OF THEM. VOLVO KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE CARS. LOCAL AND CORPORATE VOLVO DENIED ME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS BECAUSE THE CAR IS 'TOO OLD, WITH TOO MANY MILES'. BUT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM IS ALSO WITH NEWER MODELS. SO THE FACT THAT MY CAR IS OLDER SHOULDN'T MATTER. MY CAR HAS THE ENGINE THAT HAS THE DEFECT. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO REBUILD THE ENGINE WITH ONLY 116,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY, IF THEY KNOW OF 16 CARS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE, IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND WITHOUT BEING FIXED, IT CAN'T BE DRIVEN. BOTH LOCAL AND USA CONTACTS TREATED MY REQUEST AS AN ISOLATED EVENT, NOT A PART OF A BIGGER PROBLEM - ABOUT WHICH THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE. AGAIN, THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT!

DRIVING HOME GOING 40 MPH THIS WEEK THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ALERTED TO STOP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. THIS FLASHED ON AND OFF TWICE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GLITCH AS I HAD ANOTHER 1000 MILES TILL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS DRY. I ADDED A QUART AND DROVE TO GET MY OIL CHANGED. RESULT WAS WHEN THEY DRAINED IT THERE WERE 2 QUARTS THAT DRAINED OUT. THIS INCLUDES THE QUART I HAD PUT IN. MY PRIOR OIL CHANGES I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOWN A QUART AFTER 5000 MILES. THIS IS SHOCKING! SEEING THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS I'M CONCERNED. LUCKILY I'M NOT HEARING KNOCKS AND MY CAR SEEMS FINE. I CALLED A VOLVO MECHANIC AND HE SAID TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY MONTH. MY CONCERN IS THERE WAS NO EARLY WARNING THAT MY OIL WAS LOW. IF THE TIRE LOOSES AIR THERE ARE NON STOP WARNINGS.

THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER FAN DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS NOT A BLOWN FUSE, YET A POSSIBLE BLOWN RESISTOR AND/OR FAILED BLOWER MOTOR. THIS VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 72K MILES; I CANNOT GET HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING DUE TO THIS ISSUE; WINDOWS ARE FOGGED OFTEN, WHICH REPRESENTS A HAZARDOUS/SAFETY ISSUE. REPLACEMENT OF THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR AND/OR RESISTOR REQUIRES THE REMOVAL OF THE DASHBOARD AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON ANY 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, MUCH LESS A VOLVO. THE REPAIR IS EITHER VERY COSTLY, AT LEAST $700 TO $1100 OR TIME CONSUMING IF I DO IT MYSELF. THAT IS SEVERAL CAR PAYMENTS WORTH FOR A PART THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. I HAVE OWNED TWO OLDER VOLVOS (1972, 1986) AND THIS PART NEVER FAILED--AND IF IT DID, THE ACCESS WAS MUCH EASIER (BEHIND THE GLOVEBOX).

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, THE SUNROOF OF THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED RAINING BROKEN GLASS INTO THE CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING ABOVE THE CAR AT THE TIME THE SUNROOF EXPLODED (I.E. AN OVERPASS WHERE SOMETHING COULD HAVE FALLEN) NOR WERE THERE OTHER VEHICLES NEAR BY THAT COULD HAVE KICKED A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN THE GLASS. FURTHER, AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD TO EXAMINE THE DAMAGE, THE GLASS HAD EXPLODED OUTWARD, AWAY FROM THE CAR RATHER THAN INWARD, AS WOULD BE EXPECTED IF SOMETHING LIKE A ROCK HAD HIT THE GLASS AND BROKEN IT.

WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, MY S60 JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ON MY WAY TO WORK. WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DEVELOPMENT, THE ENTIRE ENGINE, POWER STEERING - EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO COAST INTO A TURNING LANE TO PUT ON MY FLASHERS. I HAD NOT GONE MORE THAN 3 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE. AFTER VOLVO HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR BELT HAD JUMPED OFF, HITTING THE ALTERNATOR, FRAYING THE BELT. THIS THEN RESULTED IN THE BELT WRAPPING AROUND ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE IMPACTING THE DRIVE BELT. THIS RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE BELT, ALTERNATOR, 1/3 OF MY ENGINE AND MY CYLINDER BLOCK. VOLVO IS BLAMING THIS ON A FAULTY BELT TENSIONER, YET THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FOR PART OF THE REPAIR WHICH IS A TOTAL COST OF $6,000. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART - EITHER IT WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY OR IT WAS NOT PROPERLY BUILT AS A BELT DOES NOT JUST "JUMP". I WAS LUCKY THAT I HAD NOT YET GOTTEN ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE IF NOT WORSE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND VOLVO DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO ADMIT COMPLETE FAILURE HERE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

ON THE FOURTH RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP I ASKED IF ANYONE DROVE THE VEHICLE. THE ANSWER WAS NO. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SPECIALIST ASKED IF HE COULD DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME FOR THE NIGHT. I SAID YES, BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THE NEXT DAY, THE SERVICE SPECIALIST SAID THAT HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. AGAIN, NOTHING THEY SAID COULD BE DONE BECAUSE NO ERROR CODE APPEARED. THE TRANS JUMPS TOO MUCH, TO BE NORMAL.
