I bought this car as a certified Volvo S60 inscription. I was beyond excited to get my first Volvo my excitement than turned into anger. I have owned this car for one year and purchased it with only 7000miles on the vehicle at time of purchase. Owned the car for approximately 2 months and when I was at a stop light the auto start feature was activated. I went to accelerate at a stop light and the vehicle would not move. It was in drive acting like it was in park. Took it into the dealership and of course couldn’t find anything wrong but decided to do a update on the transmission. This same issue continues to happen over the next year taken it to the dealership only to find of course no issues because there was no check engine light to be found to diagnose a error. While waiting in a drive thru lane this happened as well to my husband. He was stuck! He floored the car and the engine is on but the vehicle will not move until you put it in park and hit it off and turn it on again. Safety is not here! I unfortunately drive a lot for my work and will be getting rid of my car shortly. Beyond these issues, I too have had my tires spontaneously explode while driving 3 times with less than 15,000 miles on the car. I have had issues with the Bluetooth connection while on calls no one being able to hear me. Radio cutting out and screen going black. Error code for wind screen system. This car is beyond loud at an idle. Done with this car and probably Volvo!

nothing but problems. Fan just stopped working. tires keep BLOWING UP. did I mention THE TIRES KEEP BLOWING UP. like they EXPLODE. Off the rim, the works. I've been buying volvos for years. just volvos. This chinese made piece of junk made me loose faith in volvos. Next car not a vovlo. the radio doesn't have good signals. The GPS is HORRiBLE. HORRIBLE. the kind that makes you turn onto wrong ways, sends you on hour long detours... Nothing lasts on this car. Seats are falling apart, wiper blades don't do a good job. The plugs stopped working (to charge phones) Tires keep leaking air, we spend too much time at the dealership, just to be told the light alert is defective and they left the car as is with the tire sensor issue on... so many issues for a new car that we dont use much.
