2013 Volvo XC60

FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD SEAL IS UNBONDED AND WATER RUNS DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN, REDUCING VISIBILITY WITH NO WAY OF CLEARING IT WHILE DRIVING. WATER PENETRATION FROM THE WINDSHIELD ALSO PRODUCES CONDENSATION, FURTHER REDUCING VISIBILITY. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING IT BEGAN RAINING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WATER BEGAN RUNNING DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND I COULDN'T SEE CLEARLY ENOUGH TO CONTINUE DRIVING SAFELY, SO HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH.

WHEN ENTERING THREE LOCAL INTERSECTIONS THE CITY SAFETY AUTO BRAKE ENGAGES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT THESE 3 LOCATIONS. THEY ARE LIGHT CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS WITH INGROUND SENSORS. SPEEDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LESS THAN 10 MPH. THE MOST CONCERNING EXAMPLE WAS THE BRAKING STOPPED THE CAR AND THEN WHEN MY SPOUSE ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IT STOPPED HER AGAIN AND SHE WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. ALL THREE APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN UPDATED OR ARE NEW. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR PROBABLY A YEAR AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AT THESE INTERSECTIONS 100% OF THE TIME, BUT THESE ARE THE ONLY INTERSECTIONS WE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE, IN THE 4 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT WHEN IT WAS IN FOR OUR LAST OIL CHANGE AND THE COMPUTER IS NOT INDICATING ANY ERROR CODE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. SO THE SYSTEM THINKS THERE WAS SOMETHING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I HAVE NOT FOUND VERY MUCH ONLINE WHEN TRYING TO SEARCH THIS ISSUE. THE DATE I AM LISTING WAS THE MOST RECENT. WE DO HAVE A VIDEO FROM YESTERDAY.

THIS VOLVO EXPERIENCES "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" PERIODICALLY (ESTIMATED AT 2 TIMES PER YEAR) SINCE IT WAS NEW. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MANIFESTS ITSELF GENERALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP (RED LIGHT, DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT, PARKING LOT) BUT HAS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE RACES TO FULL THROTTLE AND LUCKILY, FOR THE INSTANCES SO FAR, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR WITH THE BRAKES. THE ACCELERATION LASTS FOR ROUGHLY 1-2 MINUTES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED (MAY 31, 2020), I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, AND THE ENGINE RACED TO 8,000 RPMS, HELD THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN THE TO THE DEALER (QUANTRELL VOLVO, LEXINGTON KY) TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. AT ONE POINT, THE VOLVO ENGINEERING TEAM SUGGESTED A NEW TRANSMISSION TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH WAS DONE AT VOLVO'S EXPENSE BY THIS DEALER, AND STILL THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE MOST RECENTLY IN SEPTEMBER (9/25-9/29) 2020. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A "CODE" TO EXPLAIN THE FAULT AND STATED THEY THEREFORE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I THEN ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE. I CAN UPLOAD DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALER IF NEEDED, ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE IN GETTING THIS CAR FIXED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. IT LEAKS WATER INTO MY CAR AND ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE WATER TURNS TO MOLD UNTIL I SHAMPOO IT OUT. IT AFFECTS MY VISIBILITY DRIVING. I'VE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF WAS TESTED AND IT IS NOT LEAKING IN THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I WORRY IF I SPEND 1,000 ON A NEW WINDSHIELD THAT IF THIS IS AN OEM PROBLEM IT WILL LEAK AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS BOTH DRIVING AND STATIONARY. BUT IN THE MEANTIME I WORRY ABOUT MY FAMILY GETTING SICK FROM MOLD IN THE CAR EVERY TIME IT RAINS AS WELL AS WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VISIBILITY. VOLVO NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RESEALING ALL OF OUR WINDSHIELDS FOR FREE AND REPLACING FRONT CARPETS. I AM NOT EXPERIENCING ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH IS GOOD.

I OWN A 2013 XC 60. IT HAS ADHESIVE FAILURE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR OVER TWO YEARS. EVERYWHERE I TAKE MY VEHICLE THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE SUNROOF LEAKING. (SAFELIGHT WHO VOLVO SAID I SHOULD USE) WE HAVE CHECKED ALL THE SUNROOF DRAINS AND IT IS NOT THE SUNROOF IT IS 100% MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I WAS TOLD BY ONE VOLVO DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER PULLING IT OUT FOR ME BUT IF THE WINDSHIELD BROKE I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE WINDSHIELD LEAKING. I DO BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. MY CAR GROWS MOLD IN THE FLOORBOARD FROM IT LEAKING SO BADLY. SO I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SHAMPOO OUT SO THAT MY FAMILY AND CHILDREN DO NOT GET SICK.

A MONTH AGO PURCHASED A 2013 VOLVO XC60 FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. ON 12/9/19 THE AIRBAG ICON APPEARED WHICH SAID," SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT." SINCE I LIVE IN NEW YORK AND BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE OUT OF STATE IN ( VIRGINIA) , I CALLED A VOLVO DEALERSHIP NEAR ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAD ANSWERED THE RECALL AND IT WAS THAN FIXED IN 2015. I TOLD THEM IF THAT WAS THE CASE , THAN WHY IS THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN, AND IS 2019. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THIS APPEAR TO BE A DEFECTED ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL SINCE THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN OR IT WAS NEVER ADDRESS PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE BY VOLVO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE A RISK AND CONCERN , IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY LEADING TO INJURY OR DEATH.
