Common Volvo V60 problems
The Volvo V60, a popular wagon version of the S60, has been known to have certain common problems across various model years. These issues range from engine concerns to in-car electronics faults, affecting the overall reliability and ownership experience of the vehicle.
Engine Issues
Engine problems are among the most frequently reported issues in the Volvo V60. One of the most prevalent engine problems is related to bad piston rings, which can lead to excessive oil consumption and reduced engine performance.
In-Car Electronics Issues
In-car electronics issues have also been a common complaint among Volvo V60 owners. A problem with the vehicle connectivity module (VCM) has been identified in cars built between September 26, 2018, and October 30, 2018. A software update is available to fix this problem, which can be performed by any Volvo dealer.
Fuel System Faults
Fuel system faults have been reported in the Volvo V60, with issues such as difficulty filling up the tank and problems with the fuel-injection system. These faults can negatively impact the vehicle's fuel efficiency and overall performance.
Air Conditioning Issues
Air conditioning issues have also been reported in the Volvo V60. Problems with the AC compressor, condenser, evaporator, and heater system can lead to discomfort for occupants and reduced overall satisfaction with the vehicle.
Brake System Faults
Brake system faults are another common issue in the Volvo V60. Premature pad/rotor wear, pulsation or vibration, antilock system problems, and parking brake issues have been reported. These faults can compromise the safety and reliability of the vehicle, making it essential for owners to address them promptly.
Software Issues
Software issues have been identified in the Volvo V60, particularly in the vehicle connectivity module (VCM) and the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system. These issues can affect the vehicle's ability to send location information to emergency services after a collision and the AEB system's ability to apply the brakes when a forward collision is detected. Software updates are available to address these issues, which can be performed by any Volvo dealer.
In conclusion, the Volvo V60 has faced various common problems across different model years, primarily related to engine issues, in-car electronics, fuel system faults, air conditioning issues, and brake system faults. While the V60 is a largely reliable car, potential buyers should be aware of these issues and consider them when making a purchasing decision.

Volvo V60 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2022-01-02
- Date Complaint: 2022-01-22
- VIN: YV140MEK5H1
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I am afraid, someone may get KILLED. . . The car unexpectedly just starts to 'free wheel'. It all started approximately 6 weeks ago and progressively became worse. IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. I am a retired Software Engineer and worked in military defense for a government contractor. - - so, I know a software problem when I see it. My car just started to 'free wheel' (meaning, I have no control over the transmission or gas pedal). I was driving over by our local College and stopped for a light. When the light turned Green, I took my foot off the brake and pressed the accelerator. I went No where. . . (me - what is WRONG)? I pressed the accelerator again - nothing (the engine wouldn't even 'rev'). The car is still in gear, but nothing is happening! ! ! Now, what do I do? (the car is 'free-wheeling' - HELP - - no control or transmission). I am at a Green light and going NO WHERE. Then, in Panic (thinking this maybe a Software), I put the transmission in 'neutral' for a few seconds and then back in gear and put my foot on the accelerator. There is a hesitation, but the 'engine catches (can hear it slowly rev) and I start to move. Because it started while I was starting up from a STOP (at a STOP light), I thought it might have something to do with the 'Auto Stop / Start' function (actually, this exacerbates the problem). Then, Christmas day, coming back from visiting it happened again (I forgot to turn OFF the 'Auto Stop / Start') which is what I thought was causing the problem. BUT what made it much more DANGEROUS was: I was doing a 'left turn' on a busy street and almost got KILLED. So, all seemed to be OK, if I (remember) to turn OFF the 'Auto Stop / Start' function. UNTIL today, I was making a right turn on a busy street. As soon as I was over the railroad tracks, the car started to 'free-wheel'. ([XXX], NOW WHAT DO I DO)? I coasted to the right curb and 'glanced' over at the 'Auto Stop/start - it was ON (Oooh, NO). It just gets worse. .

Volvo V60 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2021-08-26
- Date Complaint: 2021-08-26
- VIN: yv1612sbxf1
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: The latch on the driver side door stuck in the open position and the door latch would not function. The door remained unlatched and unsecured. All of the door latches were replaced at the dealer on 28 Dec 2020 per recall R89978. The problem hasn't been confirmed by the dealer yet but is scheduled. The car was parked at the time so no indication of a problem until I sat in the drivers seat and the door remained ajar with the handle stuck in the open position.
Volvo V60 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2021-03-01
- Date Complaint: 2021-05-16
- VIN: YV1A0MSW1H1
- Components: SEATS
- Summary: THE FRONT SEATS ROCK/WOBBLE BEYOND AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL AND PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE. IT'S VERY SUBTLE BUT ONCE YOU NOTICE YOU CAN'T NOT NOTICE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AT VERY LOW SPEED WHEN BRAKING (I.E. PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND SWITCHING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE) OR EVEN IN SUCH SIMPLE SITUATIONS AS GETTING INTO THE CAR. IT'S THE BACK OF THE SEAT THAT WOBBLES, BUT THE BOTTOM. I TOOK MY CAR INTO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT AS IT'S CAUSED BY A POORLY-DESIGNED PIVOT THAT IS PART OF THE SEAT ASSEMBLY. HE SAID HE THINKS THERE MIGHT BE A FIX OUT FOR THE 2018 MODEL YEAR BUT THAT THE 2017 HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THE SAME DESIGN AND EVEN THOUGH HE HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF OTHER V60S WITH THIS ISSUE COMING UP. IT'S SIMPLY POOR DESIGN THAT IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE TO CORRECT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITH A LOOSE SEAT AS I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD I EXPERIENCE A CRASH. WILL THE WHOLE BACK OF THE SEAT COLLAPSE IF IT'S ALREADY LOOSE? I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE OR REPLACED FOR FREE BY VOLVO.

It's great to hear that you've been enjoying your V60 with the sports package for the past 3 months and have already put 5000 miles on it! While there may be a slight hesitation after stepping on the gas, the handling and ride are very good. It's also worth noting that the V60 is much smaller than the boxy Volvo wagons of old, which can be a plus for some drivers. The back hatch is perfect for groceries or even a small dog, like your mini Aussie. However, it may not be the best fit for bikes, even with the seats down. Additionally, the legroom for backseat passengers is a bit tight, but it's great to hear that your pre-teen kids are comfortable. The front seats, on the other hand, are exceptionally comfortable. While the hi-tech and eco features may not be perfect, it's still great to have them available. It's also worth noting that the auto engine shutoff when stopped can be a bit spotty, and the MPG may be lower than expected based on EPA estimates.

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying your 'new' Volvo! It's wonderful that you've been a loyal Volvo driver for over 20 years. This car has a great balance of fun features and safety features to keep you and your family safe. It's great that it drives like a sportster while still having plenty of room for cargo. The sound system is also fantastic. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with your V60!

This is the second Volvo V60 we have owned. The first V60 was unfortunately replaced after an accident, but it saved our lives. The new V60 has a lot of exciting new options and handles the road very responsively. We have only had this car for less than a month, but we are already loving it!

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share my experience with this car that I purchased about 115 months ago with the intention of using it for my new family. Unfortunately, when I went to bring my newborn home, I realized that the rear-facing car seat did not fit properly. The front passenger seat had only about 3 inches of legroom, which made it impossible to use. After realizing that the car did not meet our needs, I tried to trade it in at 7 different dealerships, but was disappointed to find that the car had depreciated by more than 50%. The sticker price of the car was $42,534, but after just 15 months, the trade-in value was only $20,000. If you are considering purchasing this car, I would recommend planning on keeping it for a long time to avoid losing money.

I was really excited when I purchased the car. It was less than a year old with only 10k miles. However, I have encountered some issues with the computer system since it reached 30k miles. Unfortunately, the owner's manual is only available on the computer system, which makes it difficult to access. Additionally, checking the oil and other levels is complicated and requires the use of the car computer system. To get an oil change, I have to go to the dealership or find a specialized mechanic, which can be challenging. Overall, my experience has been frustrating. I would advise caution before purchasing a car with this type of computer system.

The car experienced a persistent issue with power loss, which was addressed by rebuilding the engine at 29k miles. However, the issue persisted due to pre-detonation of spark plugs, which caused the timing to retard and resulted in power loss. This was a safety concern, especially when merging, as it occurred without warning. Despite Volvo acknowledging the issue, they claimed it would happen under certain conditions and were unhelpful in resolving the issue. A search under Volvo Drive E Clicking provides more information. After reaching out to the CEO, the defective motor was finally replaced at 39k miles, and the car has been performing flawlessly since then.
