Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Volvo S60

The car has “detected” a crash many times and automatically stopped even on the highway. It jerks and to slam on the brakes and then keeps going. It’s very dangerous and I have a strong theory it’s the model in general and not an isolated situation with my car.

We were driving down the road automatic emergency braking system engaged without warning and for no reason. This has happened before in the past a few times. We feel this is an safety concern and would like to see it addressed. Thank you.

On Saturday, August 21, 2021, the automatic emergency braking engaged while we were travelling between 60-70 mph on I-95. There was no apparent reason for the braking because there was no vehicle or other obstacle to trigger the braking. After a few moments of hard braking the braking stopped and we proceeded normally.

Volvo arrived at the hiking trailhead parking lot at approximately 10 miles an hour, slowed down more to select parking space then turn right into space in front of a cement outhouse. Space had a cement parking block. As the car was about to come to a complete stop in the space, it suddenly accelerated on its own as if the accelerator was press all the way overcoming the cement block and crashing into the outhouse. Both driver and passenger airbags were deployed. The driver never took the foot off the brake when the car accelerated. The automated braking system never deployed. Prior to the accident, the low battery warning light was on but the battery was checked out by a professional to be fully charged. We walk away from the accident bruised with back and chest pains from the seat belt but considered ourselves lucky. Had we not parked with a cement outhouse five feet in front of us two spaces over, we would have accelerated into an open field and into a forest of trees.

My 2020 S60 t5 r-design had 3 broken sensors, a safety recall, malfunctioning brakes which caused the car to veer, and most recently a leaking a/c hose. All problems from the factory (out of thin air) within the first 12 months of my lease. After numerous complaints to Volvo car USA, I was offered a generic and dismissive answer that Volvo �is not in the position� to offer a trade assist or any help. No explanation to a loyal Volvo customer. They're simply �sorry� that I had to take off work to service their car and was told to uber home (no courtesy loaner). After the most recent service visit, I demanded Volvo either replace the car or terminate the lease, but the agent thought servicing the vehicle 5 times (because parts were breaking) was absolutely normal. She was stunned I do not have a positive attitude now that my car was fixed. I demanded contact to the regional manager, but my agent (who turned out to be supervisor) refused to forward any information. My car would go through a review process with �special parameters�, but the supervisor of the headquarters of Volvo cars USA was incapable of answering what the parameters were, when this review would take place, or who is reviewing my case� nothing was transparent, and for all I know, this review could have been arbitrary. As expected, �Volvo is not in the position�� Volvo sent an automated customer satisfaction survey, to which I provided feedback of my awful experience. Sadly, the same agent handling my case responded �thank you� and that was it. I guess my feedback and problems caused by Volvo do not really interest Volvo? so by Volvo �parameters,� a car breaking 5 times is normal, there is no quality control of their cars, and customer service is inexistent (3 or 4 �professionals� in headquarters serving north America is inexistent).
