2015 Volvo S60

I bought the car as a CPO on 9/25/19 32,860 mi. On 8/19/20 at 50,052 the engine failed. The oscillating dampener rubber separated causing serpentine belt to break, which in turn got caught in timing belt which caused that to break which then caused bent valves and valves to break. The failure was sudden. Had I been on the interstate I’d be severely injured or dead. I was told that I needed a new engine but they could not find one. I was told they would completely re-build my engine. In the end they replaced the cylinder head and starter under warranty. I was never told they didn’t re-build the engine and also used “ good parts” from the old engine. In the following months I had the car in the Volvo shop (Hendricks Volvo Charleston, SC). At 50,277 miles the check engine light showed a problem with the Cam shaft position sensor on 9/3/20. They claim to have driven the car 100 miles and cleared the code w/no repairs. On 3/18/21 w/ 64,485 miles, I took the car into the dealer because it was running and idling rough. They found no codes and they aligned the car. “Couldn’t duplicate”. The right rear door never shut properly and I was repeatedly told it was fine. Re-call on latches. Seat belts on rt rear passenger constantly was stuck. This is where my granddaughter’s car seat was placed. I’ll have to skip some. At 110,024 miles on 11/28/22 the car continued to have bad gas mileage and heavy oil use. I was told that the EGR leak detection pump was faulty and was replaced. At 113,706 miles on 1/19/2023 the cam VVT Solenoid was changed. Cause of poor gas mileage stated. On 3/29/23 at 116,790 miles replaced brakes and had aligned. Service tech noticed oil under the car underside while up on racks. Said it would be fine until next service. On 7/3/23 the engine failed again on the road and was towed to the dealer. Apparently a fuel injector failed causing gas to spray into the engine causing it to lose compression. I’ve never been given a clear answer. Records of services done.

MY S60 2015.5 ABRUPTLY CUT OFF WHEN AT A STANDSTILL "STATIONARY" IN TRAFFIC AND ON THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE WARNING SYSTEM SOUND CAME ON, AS IF CLOSE TO AN OBJECT, THEN THE SCREEN FLASHED ON THEN OFF ONE TIME. WITHIN MINUTES OF A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR CUTS OFF COMPLETELY. THE SCREEN DISPLAYED "TURN ON ENGINE." MY CAR HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. THIS HAD OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES IN 2019. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. THE ISSUE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPICATED AND NO FAULT CODE.

BOUGHT USED VOLVO ONLY HAD 66,000 MILES ON IT 1ST SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK, THERE APPARENTLY IS A SLOT IN BEHIND SHIFTER IN THE CUBBY TO STICK KEY IN AND MANUALLY UNLOCK SHIFTER, 2ND SERIOUS WABBLE AT 50+ MPH WAS TOLD BY VOLVO IT WAS WASHER SYSTEM NEEDED IN ALL WHEEL DRIVE, THE WAS NOT THE ISSUE NEEDED DRIVERS AXEL. ONLY 1 MONTH AFTER REPLACING FRONT DRIVERS AXEL I ALREADY HEAR THE TELL TAIL CLICKING OF AXEL BEARING GONE BAD ON A NEW 750.00 AXEL, 3RD FOG / RUNNING LIGHT ON BUMPER FLICKERS OVER BUMPS. 4TH HAD THE REPLACE BEARINGS ON STRUTS ALL UNDER 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOT IMPRESSED VOLVO

BY DEFAULT, THE AUTO STOP/START FUNCTION IS ENGAGED EVERY TIME YOU START THE 2015.5 VOVO S60. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 1,800 MILES AND WAS PICKED UP AT THE END OF AUGUST, 2015, LEASED AS NEW. MY WIFE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ON A RELATIVELY FLAT ROAD. THE CAR TURNED OFF THE ENGINE USING THE AUTO-STOP/START. WHEN SHE TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PUT IT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. THE DASH TURNED OFF. SHE HAD TO PUT ON HER HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS, PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND PRESS THE STOP/START BUTTON TO START THE CAR. SHE THEN WAS ABLE TO PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND CONTINUE. THIS IS NOT HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION. THIS REPRESENTS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING REAR-ENDED OR NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION--IMAGINE IF AN AMBULANCE, FIRETRUCK OR POLICE CAR WAS COMING THROUGH AND YOU HAD TO MOVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION OR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE CAR DIED?
