general problems of the 2010 Volvo XC60

After it rains, I've noticed water collecting in both the passenger and driver side footbeds. It started off nominally and I was easily able to use a cloth. I thought it might have been human error, that I left the window cracked open a bit. The most recent incident (this past weekend 5/4/24) there was a significant puddle on the driver's side. After further research, I discovered the culprit is likely an unbonded windshield, and that this is a known issue for Volvos, but especially for (2010) Xc60s. Having an unbonded windshield seems like a significant hazard risk as the structural integrity of the entire windshield is compromised, as well as risk of electrical components getting wet as the water leaks through the car (and the ripple effects of that).

Windshield seal was defective causing water leakage into the dash.

Water collects in the driver side footwell after every rain. While driving during rains, water leaks from (1) driver side top left corner (2) "a" pillar and (3) lower left corner of dashboard at emergency brake release. Took Xc60 to local Volvo dealer where the windshield was pulled and reset. Front floor carpets were pulled, fan-dried and reinstalled. Volvo waived the charge for windshield reinstall, but would not waive charges for carpet services. This vehicle has experienced this problem earlier, requiring a windshield replacement.

My vehicles windshield leaks on the drivers side during and reciveing a car wash on a teack in neutral.

When leaving work, I got into my vehicle and found a piece of plastic with beige grease all over it. I looked further and saw a metal pin on the floor and another small piece of plastic. I didnt know where it came from until ready to drive off I put the vehicle in gear and found the button on the shifting knob was gone. This was the missing piece!!.

Volvo Xc60 flooded when parked & pool of water gathered in driver side floor board water damage in electrical has compromised safety system per dealer (air bag warning went off). Dealer indicated airbags may not deploy in event of crash (yikes, NHTSA please can you put to top of priority list tonsee what other Volvos may be affected?) due to computer board damage due to water leak. Dealer indicated windshield needs to be resealed (dealer found windshield leaking& advised when pressed windshield was loose). Sunroof leaking & dealer advised due to drain pipes clog that needs to be cleaned/modified. Had called Volvo car USA (spoke w/ bettty) b4 going to dealer, but was referred to dealer, said ultimate decision was up to midwest manager ("mm"). Mm advised our cost was about over $800, & Volvo would pay around $1,000. Mm gave us only 24 hours to accept or reject their offer they called a "goodwill offfer". I called Volvo car USA, left message w/ ann for betty but was advised again ultimate decision up to mm. We countered to be reasonable w/ $300 offer for us to pay which mm flatly rejected. .

While I was driving the car around a corner after stopping, I had a frontal collision with another car. My crash avoidance system did not activate. I would like the black box of my vehicle to be checked. Volvo north America was not helpful when I called them.

Sunroof drains tubes are too short and attach to a sound trap in the a pillar of vehicle. Sound trap allows the rain water to drain to outside of vehicle. With the design on the short tubes, they often detach from the sound trap causing excessive water to enter the interior of vehicle thereby flooding the floor boards and electrical systems that control the sunroof and airbags. Airbags are then deactivated and require immediate servicing. During heavy rain and parked in lot, 3 inches of water collected at brake pedal area and rain dripping from sunroof control area. Rain water shorted out my sunroof motor rendering it unusable. I was also advised by mechanic while performing an oil change that the airbags are deactivated and vehicle information system displays an urgent srs code. Mold spores may develop under carpet presenting heath concerns for myself and child. All systems functioned properly prior to water leaking into vehicle. Five months prior Volvo service dept. Recommended a windshield repair due to water entering the vehicle while parked and driving which I consented. After nine days in Volvo shop, I towed my vehicle to a windshield repair facility. New windshield was installed 12/2015 at my cost. Rain water leak appeared again in 5/2016 after multiple day rain. Leaks in exactly same locations. Advised Volvo immediately, however service department unwilling to repair at Volvo expense and denied me future services. Faulty drainage tubes are a documented problem by customers and manager o. E. Burke of freedom Volvo virginia beach, va. He discusses full details in utube video dated 23 Aug, 2013. Freedom Volvo offers a preventive maintenance plan to address the problem. No recall or campaign has addressed this common issue. I'm afraid to drive the vehicle while airbags deactivated, please require Volvo to fit these vehicles with proper tubes.

While making a left turn onto a main street in morning traffic, my passenger side door swung completely open. Speed was approx. 10mph or less. I immediately pulled over just feet from entering onto a busy freeway. The latch on the passenger door would not engage. Door would not latch after restarting car,,locking and unlocking vehicle with key or any other method. Finally I tied the door closed with several bunggie cords and drove to work. The door latched when I reached the job 45 minutes later. I pushed the door lock button on driver side as normal. Temperature in illinois that day was below freezing. This is the first and only occurrence.

Driving at slow speed with no cars in front or behind me. Suddenly the car engaged the city safety and it came to an abrupt halt.

While driving the low tire press warning came on after pulling into service station, approx 2 blocks pressure in tire was 25# when attempting to add air the valve stem end fell off exposing the shrader valve. After taking to dealer they replaced tire press monitor module under warranty. Aapprox 6 months earlier I had a low air press warning on a different wheel and after driving about 1/4 mile home inspection showed valve stem was gone, dealer replaced press sender unit and tire at my expense. Xc70 has tj24767 dated Dec 2011 that addresses tpms nut corrosion. When dealer was question if this applied to Xc60 was told they seldom see this problem but would not replace monitors.

2010 Xc60 leaking with water collecting primarily in the drivers footwell. After very med to heavy rains. Water rolls down the drivers side interior while driving in the rain. If car has been sitting in rain it may leak slowly but will drain or leak more when turning left or right. Water has started to collect on drivers side electronics.
