2020 Volvo V60 problems

“Me and my partners safety was put at risk when the vehicle’s high pressure fuel pump went out, shut the car down, and left us stranded in the middle of two lane traffic. What was scarier was how the vehicle couldn’t be manually overridden to shift into neutral to push the vehicle to safety away from oncoming traffic, since the gear is electronic. The vehicle isn’t that old and that high on mileage, being only at 94k miles. After getting it towed (tow driver had to drag the vehicle up onto the bed because even they couldn’t do anything about it) to the dealer, because no one else but Volvo can touch it. This is without the manufacturer giving mechanics privileges to reprogram parts that needed to be replaced. On top of that, since there isn’t a dealer in my area around Columbia, MO, it had to be towed all the way to St. Louis, which was already bizarre as it is. After getting it repaired and the techs saying everything was good to go, it hasn’t been a week before something else happened. Upon trying to start the car today, the dash throws a number of warnings again. Upon seeing the warnings, I pulled out my scan tool and now tells me the low pressure fuel pump,…”

“The brake rotors exceed the manufacturers run out specifications and tolerances. This has been happening vehicles as early as 2018 model year. In my specific case I bought the car with 3600 miles on it as a certified vehicle from a Volvo dealership. On my drive home I could feel the braking pulsation in the steering wheel. The dealership measured the run out and it exceeded the manufacturers specification on all four corners. I then joined a Facebook Volvo owners group and found out there are several members that have had their rotors replaced by the dealer in many cases multiple times because they are either installing a non-conforming brake rotor or the part becomes defective with use well within the warranty period. If the vibration caused by the rotor run out continues to increase without mitigation it may cause the brake pads to deteriorate at a high rate reducing stopping distance or cause the vehicle to swerve.”

“THE NEW VOLVO SUPPOSE TO COME WITH A SAFETY BELT WARNING FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER BUT IN ONE SCENARIO IT'S NOT. IN THE EVENT THAT THE DRIVER IS SEATED AND IT'S BELT IS FASTEN ONCE THE PASSENGER SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG ALERTS TEH DRIVER THAT THE PASSENGER ARMED THE BAG BUT DOES NOT ALERT THE DRIVER THAT THE BELT IS NOT FASTENED. IN OTHER WORDS, I CAME TO PICK MY DOUGHTIER UP FROM SCHOOL LISTENIG TO THE RADIO, SHE WAS ON TEH PHONE, SET IN AND WE DROVE OFF, ONLY WHEN WE GOT HOME WE REALIZED SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE BELT ON.. NO WARNING ICONS NO CHIMES..VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN THE EVENT BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SITS IN THE CAR WHILE CAR IS PUT ON ALERT WILL SOUND AND WARNING LIGHT WILL BE ILLUMINATED FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE IF PASSENGER IS UNBUCKLED.”
