2017 Volvo S-Class problems

“The contact owns a 2017 Volvo S60. The contact stated that the vehicle was unable to be locked, and it was possible that the door could open while driving. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V849000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer confirmed the failure and determined that the battery drainage had caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.”

“Multiple doors unexpectedly open. Door latches do not lock.”

“I was pulling into a parking spot. When I went to accelerate, the car over-accelerated. The engine revved so high, I could not control it. I had nowhere to go and hit a cement wall, totalling my car. All the airbags went off. I did walk away, though. I researched this issue online and it seems there are many instances of this happening. No warnings whatsoever. No recalls at all.”

“4 new Bridgestone WEATHERPEAK BL 235/45R18 tires were purchased for "mom’s" low mileage vehicle. 8 months / 3,850 miles later, while my daughter was driving it in the center lane of the highway, the front left tire suddenly exploded! Fortunately, there were no injuries but had there been another vehicle at her side, this might have been a different story. The vehicle was towed back to the tire dealer to have the tire replaced. Combined with Bridgestone’s known past tire issues, we are now afraid to drive on the highway on these tires!!”

“Volvo re-engineered the front struts due to the ones they used to be defective/known to fail. This re-engineering requires both left and right struts to be what they call "upgraded" at the same time, because they changed the mounting brackets and no longer make the defective part. My safety is at risk because this is a major component in keeping my car stabilized on the road. I now no longer take the highway due to the danger of an accident at high speeds. The issue is known at both the dealership level and local level. The issues was reported to me by a Volvo dealership upon a routine oil change. No warning indicating light or notice by the manufacture (ether by mail or through there app).”

“I could smell gasoline coming from the vents for several days. I opened the hood and found gasoline leaking from one of the hoses near the engine. I had the car towed to the volvo dealership and they found a leaking low pressure fuel sensor and replaced it.”
