- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: 1. When my tailgate is open on multiple (more than 8?9? 10 times out of nowhere it will start to come down without my prompting It has hit me on my shoulder multiple times and I jump out of the way while it continues to shut. Most recently, it came down quick and hit my head. Luckily I got out of the way. Yet it wasn't fast enough because this time the tailgate hit it hard giving me a headache and then bothered my neck later. I have gone to Volvo and they say nothing is wrong with it. They say that is the feature of swinging you foot under the bumper and I know that. I didn't do that though. I never let my grand-kids sit in the back "tailgating after skiing" because of the potential danger of it coming down. It doesn't get triggered to stop or go up but rather continues its descent. Super dangerous. Perhaps it needs a new sensor? Many times I think I should sell this car and see about something safer. Which is a wild idea considering Volvo is supposed to be quite safe. I had an old model xc70 wagon LOVED it. The tailgate was wide and perfect for sitting with the tailgate up after a hard day of skiing. I have never been able to do this with is newer design that has a tailgate which is unpredictable. Please advise. Thank you. 2. The blind spot on the drivers side hasn't worked. On the passenger's side it works fine. When asked approximate dates? well multiple times-frequently but I will say the most recent was July 3, 2024 for the tailgate I was the only hurt. Monday July 8th, 2024 I will see a chiropractor for my neck. As for the faulty blind spot warning? That happens most days, everyday. Thankfully I am a defensive driver and have yet to have an accident as a result of that.

Volvo V90cc 2020
- Date Of Incident: 2021-08-20
- Date Complaint: 2021-08-23
- VIN: yv4a22nl6l1
- Components: TIRES
- Summary: A note I have put on forums. I believe firmly that the NHSTA has failed the American consumer with respect to "Run Flat Tires" and Donuts. On a prior Audi we could and did throw the donut away and were able to use a real spare for the odd flat. Now for both this Volvo and most other cars, there is no accommodation for a real spare tire. I do not know what public interest you are serving by allowing the industry to do away with properly sized spare tires and spare tire wells. But here is a live example of a car effectively being out of all but emergency use for all of five days due to a simple nail in a tire. You need to re-think your priorities and in whose interest you regulate. This is simply a monumental step in reverse. Doug Scott Sort of a heads up for those taking trips to rural(?) America. Ours is at the Eastern Shore - a hop skip and jump to DC but terra incognito for Volvo. Friday it was discovered that the car had a flat. The VOC option was to have it towed to a dealer 90 minutes (plus bridge traffic away for a repair, said dealer would have to order replacement so Monday). No loaner cars. AAA was called and jumped into action. They got the donut on and delivered tire to nearest shop 30 miles away in Chestertown. They will not repair a run-flat so ordered one for delivery soonest which is the following Wednesday. Since they are a "Goodyear" dealer they cannot process the Volvo/Pirelli road hazard warranty. So we pay full price plus for replacement. Dealer does not want to give us damaged tire either....but that we will extract. So, a simple flat tire that were it a normal tire would have been repaired easily Friday keeps the user's while on vacation stuck for 5 days on a car with a limited use donut. Where is the advancement in this? For who are run flats a good idea?
