NHTSA Complaint #11438593 — 2021 VOLVO XC40

The seat belt warning chimes audio alert does not alert when passenger does not wear seatbelt and easy to go unnoticed. (Unlike Toyota or other cars) The lane keep assist when not able to detect the lanes shows little alert in clusters & vibrate steering wheel which is easy to go unnoticed and feel dangerous to trust the system. Even the lane assist does not have audio alerts to inform driver. I feel the Lane Keep, Lane assist & seat belt reminder audio alert is not available or up-to driver’s attention. When compared to friends Toyota Rav4 car even the blind spot lights won’t light by when in buffer lane and cars passing from behind. Other issue I found dangerous is the gear shifter is like a toggle and when in emergency it is hard to switch to reverse as i have to switch double times between Neutral. The Drive mode buttons feels useless as it when pressed, it occupies the whole screen in center and distracts driving. Sometime Apple Carplay does not connect when maps and music are played together.
