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...
Wipers continually run. Headlights will not flip to high beam at times.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A WEEK AGO, I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH I USE WHEN I PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT'S SLANTED. WELL AFTER THE FIRST TIME I DISENGAGED IT WENT TO DRIVE AND HEARD A WEIRD NOISE WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHICH ONLY GOT WORSE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT THAT THE E-BRAKE NEVER FULLY DISENGAGED ON THE RIGHT SIDE ONLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY REPLACED BUT NOW I'M NOT COMFORTABLE USING THE E BRAKE AT ALL OUT OF FEAR IT WILL DESTROY ANOTHER ASSEMBLY. ALSO SINCE I GOT IT BACK I HAVE NOTICED WEIRD ELECTRICAL ISSUES LIKE ALL MY 12V SOCKETS ARE OUT OR I COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT 2 CAR LENGTHS AWAY AND ALL MY BLIND SPOT SENSORS GO OFF FOR LIKE 30 SECONDS THEN STOP.
ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE RENDERED VEHICLE SPEED AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS INOPERABLE. THERE IS NO BACKUP ANALOG CLUSTER IN THIS VEHICLE, SO THERE WAS NO WAY TO DETERMINE VEHICLE SPEED.
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION RECENTLY EXPERIENCED WHILE PARKING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND THE MANUFACTURING CANNOT TELL ME IF AND WHEN ANY RECALLS WERE UPDATED ON MY CAR PRIOR TO PURCHASE. THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BREAK INTO A STOP SO I COULD PARK THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. BECAUSE THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD IN FULL THROTTLE IT CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE BRICK BUILDING. THE HIGH VROOM NOISE STARTED AS SOON AS I TURNED INTO THE PARKING SPOT AND STARTED TO BREAK. THE AUTOMATIC BREAKING SYSTEM NEVER ENGAGED WHICH IN THIS MODEL SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE CRASH. THE BREAKS WERE OF NO USE SINCE THE HIGH SPEED IN LESS THAN 4 FEET OF THE PARKING SPOT AND WALL. THE CAR IS NEW WITH ONLY ABOUT 1200-1300 MILES AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT...
