On 9/8/2021, Niello Volvo Sacramento service replaced my fuel pressure sensor and fuel line. On 9/15/2021, my engine caught fire and the car was deemed a total loss by insurance company. I drove from my home in Plumas Lake 95961 to Marysville approximately 10 miles away at 9:50 AM, at approximately 10:00-10:05 as I was nearing the end of my trip, a trouble light came on that said “engine performance decreased” and the picture of a turtle appeared on my dash screen, shortly after that another light appeared that said “battery not charging”, I parked my car in the Save Mart parking lot and exited and noticed some smoke coming out of the hood, it was light at first but increased quickly so I called 911 immediately. As I was on the phone with 911, flames began shooting out from under the hood, so I grabbed my fire extinguisher out of the back of my car and tried to put the fire out, but extinguisher was too small, a man from the grocery store brought out a bigger extinguisher, but fire continued to grow, by now the fire dept. arrived, opened the hood and after about 10 minutes extinguished the fire with a hose. I contacted Niello Volvo but they seemed disinterested in getting involved and after a second call to them, the service manager [XXX] hung up on me. I could have been killed! If my elderly husband or mother had been in the car with me, it would have been difficult to get them out! I want to know what caused the fire! Faulty electrical system, faulty fuel sensor/fuel line which had just been installed 7 days prior? Faulty engine? There are still many 2015 Volvo XC60’s on the road and I fear for anyone driving one if there is a problem in need of recall.

PULLING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT ABOUT TWO MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE CUT OUT (AS IT NORMALLY DOES FOR START/STOP). HOWEVER, WHEN ENGINE CUT, ALL POWER SYSTEMS TURNED OFF. THE SCREENS WENT BLACK AND NO BUTTONS WERE RESPONSIVE - THE IGNITION BUTTON DID NOT RESTART THE CAR AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. POWER LOCKS DID NOT WORK. THREE MINUTES LATER, THE CAR SCREENS TURNED BACK ON AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. I DO NOT RECALL PUSHING THE START BUTTON BEFORE IT DID THIS, SO PERHAPS THE BUTTON MESSAGE WAS "QUEUED" AND WAITING WHEN POWER RETURNED. THE BATTERY SEEMS TO HAVE ADEQUATE VOLTAGE UNDER LOAD AND THE TERMINALS ARE FASTENED TIGHTLY, SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE A BATTERY-RELATED ISSUE.

THE 12V ACCESSORY PLUGS (AKA THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER) KEEPS RANDOMLY BLOWING FUSES. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT 12V TO USB PLUGS AND OTHER ACCESSORY PLUGS BUT DOESN'T HELP. TENDS TO BLOW ON STARTUP. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND THOUGHT WAS RESOLVED IN 2015 MY. APPARENTLY NOT AS EVEN PUTTING HIGHER AMPERAGE FUSE DOES NOT HELP. IF SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IS CAUSING THIS TO BLOW, IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO BUT AFTER REPLACING 10 FUSES, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE POOR DESIGN ON FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. FIRSTLY AFTER INFLATION THE AIRBAG DAMAGE THE DASHBOARD, YOU WILL NEED A BRAND NEW DASHBOARD IF YOUR AIRBAG GOING OFF. SECOND HOW IS POSSIBLE THE AIRBAG BEEN DESIGNED TO AFFECT THE WINDSCREEN BY BREAKING IT IF INFLATED ? IS THAT PART OF THE DESIGN OR THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPENED IN THIS INSTANCE? PLEASE FIND THE PHOTOS ATTACHED WITH THIS COMPLAINT.

TOOK CAR THROUGH THE CAR WASH. AS I WAS SLOWLY EXITING TO PARK INTO A SPOT TO VACUUM THE CAR, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE UP TO THE SPOT AND STARTED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR BY ITSELF REVVED UP THE ACCELERATION JUMPED OVER THE CURVE EVEN AS I WAS LITERALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. FINALLY IT DID STOP AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO-ONE IN FRONT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO CHECK WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I NEED TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR THEM TO INSPECT IT WHICH I PLAN TO DO. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. IT WAS A VERY TERRIFYING MOMENT.

THE REMOTE KEYLESS DRIVE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED BY VOLVO AND MINE HAS, VERY MUCH, BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS MANY OTHER VOLVO OWNERS. NOTHING ON MY KEY FOB WORKS UNLESS YOU ARE WITHIN 12 INCHES OF THE CAR.IMAM 100% DISABLED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND MY WIFE HAS TERMINAL BRAIN CANCER. WHEN WE DRIVE TO APPOINTMENTS ETC, DUE TO MY SHORT TERM MEMORY ISSUES, I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE I PARKED MY CAR. ALSO, THE PANIC BUTTON DOESN'NT WORK FOR THE ABOVE REASONS. EVERY TIME I AM OUT, I'M TAKING A CHANCE OF GETTING MUGGED, ROBBED OR CAR JACKED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY SAFETY FEATURE ON MY VOLVO CAR. THE VOLVO TECHNICAL JOURNAL 27316.7.2, EXPLAINS WHAT'S HAPPENING, BUT VOLVO WILL ONLY ATTEMPT TO FIX IT, IF I PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. ACCORDING TO VOLVO FORUMS, THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS COMMON AND YOUR AGENCY SHOULD RECALL EVERY VOLVO WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAVE VOLVO REPAIR IT AT NO CHARGE. IF I GET ROBBED, MUGGED OR CARJACKED, DUE TO THE KEY FOB AND PANIC BUTTON NOT WORKING, I WILL BRING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST VOLVO. THIS KEY FOB/RECEIVER MALFUNCTION HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET IN MY CAR.

WE HAVE IN AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS EXPERIENCE THE FEATURE "CITY SAFETY" ON OUR VOLVO XC60 2015 , BRAKING TO A STOP WHILE WE ARE IN TRAFFIC FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP CLAIM THIS IS HOW THE FEATURE IS SUPPOSE TO WORK . ACCORDING TO THEM THE SOFTWARE HAS ITS LIMITATIONS AND THESE LIMITATIONS INCLUDE THE CAR STOPING ABRUPTLY AND DANGEROUSLY. THE FEATURE CAN BE TURNED OFF BUT IT WILL RESET ITSELF TO ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IS RESTARTED. THE ADVICE WAS FOR US TO TURN THE FEATURE OFF EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IN THE CITY AND OR THROUGH FOG WITH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF A FEATURE CALLED "CITY SAFE" . WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THE FIRST GENERATION OF THIS FEATURE IS NOT STREET SAFE . THANK YOU

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS.

THE TINTING ON THE REAR WINDOW IS SO DARK, IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE TO RELY ON THE SIDE MIRRORS ONLY TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING BEHIND ME. IT BECOMES EXTREMELY CRITICAL WHEN TRYING TO BACK UP USING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. YOU CAN'T SEE ANY DETAILS AND I HAVE SCRAPED OBJECTS BEHIND THE CAR.
