Common Volvo Xc60 problems
The Volvo XC60 is a luxury compact crossover that has been one of the best-selling models for the car manufacturer. However, there are some common problems and issues with the XC60 that are worth considering.
One of the most common issues with the XC60 is related to its Android Automotive OS-based infotainment system, which was introduced in the 2022 models. Early versions of the XC60’s Android Automotive system seem to have numerous problems. Some of the complaints from 2022 XC60 owners include infotainment screen and dashboard constantly restarting, lack of Apple CarPlay (fixed in software version 2.2), incompatible apps such as Sirius XM and RADIO.COM, problems with voice commands and Google Assistant, Bluetooth disconnections and other connectivity problems, failed Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and bricked cars, and Telematics and Connectivity Antenna Module (TCAM) failures.
Another common problem affecting first-generation XC60s is a leaking brake vacuum pump once the vehicle reaches a certain mileage. Many new XC60 owners have also reported various brake problems, including a soft brake pedal feel, squeaking or groaning brake noises, warped or needing replacement brake rotors at low mileage, and automatic braking system activating for no reason.
Oil consumption is not unusual in vehicles with over 100,000 miles, as more leaks start to appear and the engine components wear out. If your vehicle is losing or burning oil in between oil changes, there might be a problem with the engine itself. The easiest way to check this is to look for leaks, and if you can’t find any, take the car to a Volvo mechanic for an oil consumption test. They’ll try to replace smaller parts like the oil trap, but if that doesn’t work, you might need an engine rebuild, which can be costly.
Some XC60 owners have reported strange vibrations when travelling at speeds between 40 to 60 miles per hour. This issue doesn’t affect all XC60s, but it can be difficult to track down the cause once it starts happening. The most common cause of this issue is the foam insert inside the tyre coming loose. Replacing the affected tyre, or all four, should resolve the problem. However, if the tyres and wheels have been checked and are in good condition, there might be a mechanical problem with the car.
Other common problems with the XC60 include SatNav loading issue, poor engine performance, loose seat belt anchor cable, power steering failure, fuel leaks, AC failing, automatic boot switch failure, loss of power/engine management warning light, and lane departure problems.
In conclusion, while the Volvo XC60 is a great luxury SUV, it is prone to some issues. By being aware of the most common problems and knowing what to do to resolve them, you can keep your XC60 running smoothly for years to come. If you’re facing any of these issues, it’s always best to consult a professional mechanic for a proper diagnosis and resolution.

Volvo Xc60 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-14
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-17
- VIN: YV4612RK1F2
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Volvo mechanics claim the engine seized due to alternator pulley failure, however, at the time of the event, the engine showed no oil on the dipstick despite having added multiple quarts of oil over the last three months. Volvo has issued an extended warranty letter to customers due to excessive oil consumption, but Volvo failed to provide this letter for this vehicle. I’ve checked Volvo databases for engines matching this extended warranty and confirmed the engine is in fact covered under this extended warranty. Due to Volvo’s failure to communicate this problem, my daughter continued to drive this vehicle until it completely lost power in high speed traffic on I-95 nearly causing an accident and stranding her on the side of the interstate for several hours. Upon arriving at the cite of this incident, I notice there was no low oil warning light illuminated on the dash, so I double checked oil dipstick and added at least two quarts of oil. Unfortunately the engine had already seized at this point and the vehicle was inoperable.

Volvo Xc60 2014
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-25
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-11
- VIN: YV4902DZ1E2
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: When I purchased my 2014 Volvo XC 60 I was told that it was in good overall condition and believe that after driving it for the vehicle in full and brought it back because it needed a current inspection. Within four days of taking it home after the inspection, the PCV valve went bad and I had a minor leak in the middle center top of the windshield that dripped in and left watermarks on my headliner. So again I called the dealer and explained to them what was going on. I took it back they corrected the PCV valve and said that they had my windshield Repaired and sealed by a professional windshield installer. Once again, I picked up my new car and I went home with it. The first rainstorm we got the inside of my car was flooded to the point where it shorted out my sunroof switch so now I can use my sunroof and there is mildew smell all through my car , floorboard on the driver side side gets soaked along with everything else from about the center all the way to the left and down the side of the windshield I feel that more than half of that windshield is not secured properly in there and sealed and could lead to serious injury to myself or possibly Someone else. I have reached out to them several times And after I picked it up when they stated everything was fixed and good to go, it was nothing but a nightmare my Car has a massive leaking windshield around more than 50% of it at least. I contacted the auto dealer once again and explained what was going on and how severe the situation had become. The service manager assured me that they work on the windshield was guaranteed and under warranty and he had a switch on hand to Replace my control switch for my sunroof and that he would contact their windshield guy and get him back there to make it right at no cost to me. In addition he said he would also supply me the loaner so I would not be without a car until mine was definitely fixed and ready, that was the last I heard from them and that was almost 3 weeks ago
Volvo Xc60 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-01
- Date Complaint: 2024-08-08
- VIN: YV4952DZXD2
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The component or system that failed is the driver side door controls for all four windows and both side mirrors. My safety is at risk as I am unable to adjust my mirrors manually or electronically in order to see. I am also unable to roll down any of the windows in the vehicle from the driver door in the event of an emergency. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the Volvo service center. According to my local Volvo service center, this is a common problem in Volvos and they are very familiar with the repair needed to correct. The problem is that the driver door wiring is zip-tied together and over time, as the driver door opens and closes, the zip tie chafes the insulation off of the wiring causing the copper part of the wires to be exposed and twisted together. There are no warning lights reporting this issue, only that the window and mirror controls stop working. The following video link between 9:38-12:16 explains this issue in Volvos. I am writing to advocate for a vehicle recall. I believe this is a manufacturing flaw which could have been avoided by simply using electrical tape and not a zip tie. The repair has been quoted at $800. Driver side door entry is an essential function and should not be a cause for an electrical fire or drivers’ and passengers’ safety.

- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-28
- Date Complaint: 2024-06-21
- VIN: YV4902DZXD2
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The car came to a complete stop without a reason. This happened while exiting the freeway and no cars or objects were in front of me. I was very lucky that I did not have a car behind me or this would have caused a collision. After the car stopped the message "auto braking by City Safety" appeared on my dashboard
Volvo Xc60 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-19
- Date Complaint: 2024-06-21
- VIN: YV4902DZXD2
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: The vehicle came to a stop in two different occasions (6 months apart) without a reason. The first occasion was while exiting the freeway, there was no car or object in front of me. The second time I had gone over a manhole and the car screeched to a halt on a city street. I was very fortunate that in both occasions I did not have a car behind me or this malfunction would have caused a collision. After the car stopped I was able to continue driving. After the car stopped the message "Auto braking by City Safety" appeared on the dashboard.
Volvo Xc60 2010
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-02
- Date Complaint: 2024-06-20
- Crash: 1
- VIN: YV4960DL3A2
- Components: STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: While slowing down and just about to make a turn into a private residence off of a highway, multiple indicator lights illuminated and audio warning "dinging" occurred for approximately 3 seconds. As I had already been slowly applying the brakes and starting to slightly turn the wheel towards the driveway when those warnings briefly came up, the moment the lights and sounds stopped, vehicle then maintained speed (while still on the brakes) and locked steering position it was at simultaneously. Having no control at that point, it continued until crashing into a wooden fence. Once at a complete stop, cabin lights and "dinging" activated as it acknowledged the impact. And although it was only going about 15 mph, seemingly to only have damage to the front passenger side bumper/headlight area, it would not shift into any gear or turn off. Not to mention that the front passenger side airbag(s), or any of them, deploy- seriously raised even more concerns as the main reason I purchased a Volvo was for their well known status of safety standards. Had this obvious electrical malfunction happened moments before at higher speed/steering straight ahead, it would've resulted in very serious injuries to myself and others while it speed through 2 intersections at a highway ramp just down the hill. Was towed to a local collision repair & auto body shop until Progressive Insurance took it to their damage assessor where it was declared a total loss. I've owned it for almost 3 years and always had weird inconsistent electrical "quirks"- nothing ever of serious concern though. Has spent a total of 4-5 months in the past 3 years at different Volvo dealerships and mechanics but no one could ever explain why different warnings would be displayed randomly for days-weeks, off/on for no apparent diagnostic reason, 12V power socket was the same way... Please investigate the electrical components that directly affect the operational use and control! Extremely common & dangerous issue with these!
Volvo Xc60 2012
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-13
- Date Complaint: 2024-05-31
- VIN: YV4902DZ9C2
- Components: VISIBILITY
- Summary: The contact owns a 2012 Volvo XC60. The contact stated that while it was raining, water seeped through the driver's side front windshield and onto the steering wheel. The contact placed a towel on top of the steering wheel to prevent water from damaging the electrical system. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,174.
Volvo Xc60 2010
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-04
- Date Complaint: 2024-05-08
- VIN: YV4992DZ6A2
- Components: STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: After it rains, i've noticed water collecting in both the passenger and driver side footbeds. It started off nominally and I was easily able to use a cloth. I thought it might have been human error, that I left the window cracked open a bit. The most recent incident (this past weekend 5/4/24) there was a significant puddle on the driver's side. After further research, I discovered the culprit is likely an unbonded windshield, and that this is a KNOWN issue for Volvos, but especially for (2010) xc60s. Having an unbonded windshield seems like a significant hazard risk as the structural integrity of the entire windshield is compromised, as well as risk of electrical components getting wet as the water leaks through the car (and the ripple effects of that).
Volvo Xc60 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-17
- Date Complaint: 2024-04-25
- VIN: YV4612RK5F2
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Vehicle failed to start after short trip (<5 miles) with no electrical power present. Jump started from another car after approximately 1/2 hour. Drove car to home, car stalled in driveway again with no electrical power. Replaced 5 year old battery car started fine then stalled on road during test drive while approaching an intersection and suffered loss of all electrical power including inoperative hazard flashers. Transmission went into park and car could not be moved out of active traffic lane. Car towed to repair shop where cracked fuse at positive battery terminal found (see photos attached). Repair shop contacted a Volvo dealer and was informed they typically see a couple vehicles a week for same issue.
Volvo Xc60 2015

- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: VOLVO DEALER DESCRIBE AS ISSUE: Motor mounts: Front lower engine mount collapsed, other engine mount not yet verified. Power Steering: Stiff and hard to turn wheels. Transmission: Transmission shift sometimes is not easy to move up to down.
Volvo Xc60 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-15
- Date Complaint: 2024-02-19
- VIN: YV440MRU8H2
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The support battery for start/stop started to show on the dash and tells me that service is required about 2 weeks ago. "THE LOCATION OF THE BATTERY IS MY CONCERN". A month ago, the air coming out from the vent of the ac/heater started to smell like a rotten egg, a very strong smell that gives me a headache and makes me dizzy. This smell comes and go.I had to open the windows and switch to recycled air, this helps a little bit. I brought my Volvo to 2 shops about 3 weeks ago before I went to the dealer on Feb 16, 2024. The first shop smelled it and said they checked the catalytic converter and run a diagnostics and emission and they said emission is very good and there is no problem with the catalytic converter and suggested to bring it to the dealer. They said it could be coming from the battery and I told them that the battery is new and main battery has a box casing so the strong smell is definitely not coming from the main battery. I didn't know that there was another battery. I brought it to an exhaust shop and said the same thing, no leaks in the pipe and catalytic converter and smoke coming from the exhaust looks normal and smells normal. Next I brought it to the dealer and they did nothing and simply stated they could not duplicate the problem. I had no choice but to do an extensive research to find out where the location of the support battery so I can change it myself. I always wondered why the smell is so strong in the passenger side intake screen cover of the cowling. I couldn't believe where Volvo had placed the second battery/support battery. It was on the passenger side, right next to the air intake for the AC/heat of the car and is covered by the cowling between the windshield and the engine. Harmful gases that can potentially come out from the battery is directly suck in to the intake of the car's air conditioner.

- VIN: YV4940DL7B2
- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: Windshield is original from Volvo but leaks during rain and car washes. Rain floods my driver’s side floor board and heavy enough might effect my electrical system.

Vehicle year: 2013
We have owned two BMWs before, but after experiencing the quality of materials and reliability of our first Volvo, we won't be going back. The cost of ownership for 4.5 years and 75,000 miles has been terrific. Although nothing drives like a BMW, we don't miss the expensive maintenance and breakdowns that come with it. The safety features are second to none, and there is plenty of room for my tall family of four. We are looking forward to upgrading to the XC60 hopefully next year for our next one. Update: With 92,000 miles and counting, our Volvo is still performing well, and we have only needed routine maintenance.

Wow! I'm impressed! Your first car was a 20091/2XC 60, and despite the many safety advantages, you found yourself complaining about it. However, this '12 R Design Polestar upgrade has more than just an improved engine. All areas have been reviewed and enhanced, including gas mileage, comfort, power (325 HP/354 lbs torque), ride quality, brakes, and even air leaks. I could go on, but the actual 10K price hike was worth every penny to us.

I picked up my XC60 on 05/19/12 and it's one heck of a car! It's a true beast - stomp on the accelerator and it responds with power. I previously had a 2010 XC60 with 281hp, which was alright, but this feels like an entirely different vehicle. I absolutely love the way this car rides!

Vehicle year: 2015
I bought the 2015 Volvo XC60 as a demo with low miles about six weeks ago and I really like it. The ride is smooth and fast, and the stereo system is crisp. I love the rain sensor, and I really appreciate all the safety features such as parking assist, BLIS, and rear camera. Although there are a few things I would change about the interior design, such as the impractical design of the space for storage between the front seats and the cup holders that can interfere with the gearshift, I am overall happy with my purchase. However, I do find the navigation/sensor software functional but not very intuitive, especially compared to systems in other luxury brands.

Vehicle year: 2018
You'll absolutely love the XC60! After comparing it with the Q5, Lexus NX, and RDX, I decided to go with the XC60 because of its great cost and features. The Pilot and Park Assist features work amazingly well, and the Nav view in the dashboard is a great touch. The interior is elegant and minimalistic, making for a truly enjoyable driving experience. I'm confident that you won't be disappointed with the XC60!

The ride is a bit rougher than my neighbor's Ford Mustang, which is surprising for a 'luxury' car. Additionally, the dashboard, screen, and other features can be difficult to use and a bit annoying. The build quality is average and nothing particularly special.

The Volvo XC60 is a great looking SUV, but it seems to have some issues with its technology. If you have an Android phone, it might not be the best fit for you as the software is not compatible. Unfortunately, they have been pushing back the release of the software for months. On the other hand, my wife has an iPhone and although it sometimes disconnects, we have been able to resolve the issue by resetting her password. It's interesting to note that my daughter's $26,000 Kia has a better infotainment system than the $54,000 Volvo.

I recently purchased my first Volvo, an XC60, on April 21st and overall, my buying experience was great. The dealership I worked with near my home was very transparent throughout the purchase process, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, within 24 hours of taking delivery of my new car, the check engine light came on and my car has spent most of the days I have owned it back with the dealership. Despite this, the dealership has been very helpful in providing us with a loaner car. As a first-time Volvo owner, I had hoped for a better experience from such a world-renowned brand. However, I am still optimistic that they will make it right sooner than later. I will follow up with the outcome of this situation, so that other customers can know how Volvo deals with a vehicle that has seemingly unresolvable issues right off the lot. I encourage potential buyers to read reviews and do their homework before making a purchase, but I still believe that Volvo is a great brand and I am hopeful that they will resolve these issues for me.

As a fellow Volvo enthusiast, I am sorry to hear about the issues you have been experiencing with your new XC60. It must be frustrating to have spent more time taking it to the dealership than enjoying it on the road. I can understand how disappointing this must be, especially given the price point of the car. It's great to hear that Stoneacre at Chesterfield have been helpful throughout this process. I hope that the issues with your car can be resolved soon so that you can fully enjoy all the amazing features and specifications that the XC60 has to offer. As a loyal Volvo customer, your feedback is valuable and I'm sure the team at Volvo will take it into consideration to improve their products in the future.

I have the 2022 Volvo XC60 Momentum AWD and it was nice for the first few days. The ride is smooth and the car is very quiet, making me feel safe while driving. The interior is also quite nice and the sound system is okay. However, I have experienced some electrical issues with the car, such as clicking when it's off and the infotainment system shutting down randomly. It's a bit disappointing since I have less than 1000 miles on the car, but I'm taking it in to get it checked out and fixed. Unfortunately, this will take some time and it's not ideal during the holidays. If these issues persist, I may consider returning the car and looking into more reliable options like an Acura or Lexus.
