general problems of the 2012 Volvo S60

The driver's side seat airbag system failed. Specifically, diagnostic trouble code srs-b002011 was retrieved, indicating a circuit short to ground in the left side airbag deployment control system. The technician found a broken clip on the airbag connector housing, causing an intermittent connection failure between the connector and the seat airbag itself. The airbag cannot be relied upon to deploy in a crash. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I purchased this vehicle on may 10, 2026, and drove it as my primary means of transportation. During that time, the driver's side seat airbag was non-functional due to a circuit short to ground and a broken connector housing. Had I been involved in a collision during that period, the driver's side airbag may not have deployed, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury or death. I was not informed of this defect at the time of purchase and had no knowledge that the airbag system was compromised. I drove the vehicle believing it to be equipped with functioning safety systems. The defect was confirmed by Volvo cars tacoma (o'brien auto group), a franchised manufacturer-certified Volvo dealership in tacoma. Technician #2101608 performed a comprehensive inspection using Volvo's proprietary vida diagnostic system dated may 16–30, 2026. The inspection retrieved diagnostic trouble code srs-b002011 confirming a circuit short to ground in the left side airbag deployment control system, and physically identified a broken clip on the airbag connector housing. The technician documented: "there is likely an intermittent failure at the connection between the airbag connector and the seat airbag itself. Need to start with replacement of airbag and repin connector. " the check engine light illuminated within days of my purchase. This prompted me to bring the vehicle to Volvo cars tacoma on may 16, 2026 — six days after purchase. I personally did not observe an srs warning light.

Brakes , and vacuum booster, speed control I experienced a sudden acceleration phenomenon and reached speeds of 100+ mph I manipulated the brakes and the gas in order to safe my life I eventually got my speeds down but it was too late I was ejected from the vehicle and nearly died my brakes scrubbed and I pressed my brakes as hard as I could and my car continued to acceleration. The police has the vehicle and there were no warnings signs . I had just bought the vehicle and was on my way home from the dealership never made it home.

Original windshield never replaced unglueing to the point where you can push the glass and have it move and minor seepage of water.

I bought used S60 and sent car to auto shop due to engine seize . I was told the engine needed to be replaced. I has replacement done. Car ran good and I was pleased. Months later, the vehicle made a clicking noise when I arrived home. When I checked the oil the following morning, there was no oil in car. I was never given a low oil level indication or warning. Now car is making crazy tapping sounds. I.

I was driving on my way back home. When my car started to knock. As I was slowing down to pull over. My oil pressure light came on. Granted, the reason was unknown. I had just recently checked the oil level. I got out to check the dipstick to find smoke coming out where the dipstick was. Curious as I was, I had no oil which left me puzzled. After some research, I found that my car had a recall on it for oil consumption. I called and asked a rep if they could verify if my vehicle was serviced for the issue. But without a doubt, he said it was. I just want to know if the problem was fixed. I currently can't crank my vehicle. I even dug into it myself and found that I had a bad starter nd battery. After replacing the two. I still can't get my vehicle to turn over. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

When I first bought this Volvo there was condensation in both of the headlights then took it for a test drive and I really liked it and when I got back the dealer said if I was to buy it he would take care of both headlights so I assumed that he did but I bought it and left and was driving and then a code came on in the car saying low beam out I was like OH shit so took it back to them they had me go buy $120 light bulb and that wasn't the problem they did some working and testing and said that it was the low beam ballast so I bought 1 for the drivers side and that fixed that problem but then not even a week later the same light came on saying low beam out, took it back and they said that it was the same thing on opposite side on passenger side so they said order the part and we'll fix it I did that took it back to them and they said it was fixed not even a day later and the light was back on swing low beam out I'm thinking that there is an issue that has to deal with some kind of recall with these lights cause there is no way that they should break that easy or quick so please get back to me and let me kno thank you.

My car has water in the left back door, and I am certain it is from the recall of the locks. I use to park in my garage and the car is no longer garage kept and it has rained a lot. I can hear the water swishing around when I stop the car. I want to take the car back to the dealership that did the recall locks. Water is saturated in the back seating the driver's side.

As I approached a red light I began to slow down and my car started to shake and then it turned off I was unable to turn on my hazards to warn other drivers or pull over to the side, after a couple seconds the lights came back on and I put the car in p and started it again. It happened again later on the same day.

Car never warned of low pressure or oil low. Car started to shimmy and blow white smoke. It can no longer be driven. Piston heads blew due to lack of lubrication. Will cost approx 7 to 8 thousand to fix.

My car doesn't notify me that the engine oil is low. Last year, I drove all the way to mississippi without it warning that the oil was lo with barely any oil on the dip stick. We stopped to check it when we got gas and that is how we knew. It has been low several times this year without notifying me. I have to constantly check the oil to ensure there is enough in there. It does not have an oil leak as there is no oil on the concrete. I have checked with the Volvo dealership and was told there was no recall for my car in reference to low oil but there should be. I could have blown my engine.

Door latch and lock failure to both front doors. Passenger door latch/lock passenger door failed to lock or keep door closed while in motion. One week later the driver's door latch/lock failed in same way, which allowed doors to fly open during a turn while vehicle in gear and in motion. Electric door locks would not engage. Opening doors could be struck by passing vehicles endangering lives of occupants. Occupants could be thrown out of doors when turning. Unable to secure the vehicle when unoccupied. Both door latches are Ford products installed in a Volvo vehicle. Substandard safety device installed on vehicle's doors. Nearly endless list of safety hazards associated with this defect. Volvo is aware of the problem and failed to disclose the information to the public or owners of this make and model Volvo, causing the owner or operator to be unaware of the possible fatal safety hazard. Volvo was contacted by the certified mechanic upon replacing the part and was advised by Volvo they were aware of the door latch/lock defect.

Cpsc: on September 8, 2018 around 4:30pm on a Saturday, I was running errands and suddenly my curtain airbags on my 2012 Volvo deployed. There was a high pitch, loud screeching noise, a loud pop and all this debris sprayed all over me and the inside of my car and these white plastic airbags (curtains) busted through the roof of my car.

Vehicle had a no start, no crank condition while parked. Was towed to dealership. Dealer determined no start, no crank condition was caused by outdated software. I do not think Volvo should design a car to not start if software is outdated. Had I needed to use the car to drive to hospital or some other emergency this would have been an issue.

Rear driver side door flew open while daughter was in the back seat. She fell out the car. Person was driving the vehicle and the door just flew open. Please get to the bottom of this immediately.

I was driving down the interstate, suddenly I heard a loud boom. I could hear something sliding down my roof and off the back of the car. I didn't know what was going on, then I heard a wind noise above. I realized that my sunroof was broken and glass was cascading down and flying off of my car. It just spontaneously exploded. I pulled over to look at the sunroof and to see if there was a rock that hit it or something else. There was nothing there except for a shattered sunroof with a huge hole. The glass was pointing upward as if it had exploded from the inside.

Car stalled (2 times ) while driving it. Could not steer or operate any part of the car. Once I almost got rear ended my a truck on a highway. My Volvo dealer's service department could not figure out the problem. (I recently read about the gm ignition problems and that sounds exactly like what was happening with this car).

The steering wheel bezel delaminates on the bottom of the steering wheel and becomes very sharp causing cuts on hands. Dealer replaced the bezel and we have the same problem again. It appears to be a defect in the design or manufacture of the bezel. There should be no sharp cutting edges on the steering wheel!.
