Volvo Xc60 sunroof drains clog and leak. Sunroof maintenance is not mentioned in owner's manual, and dealer does not clear drains during regular service unless specifically asked to. Leak causes damage to electronic systems including airbag system. While any sunroof has the potential to leak, this leak is caused by a design failure - their design makes it easier for debris to ingress into the tracks and clog them. Cost to fix issue and replace sunroof is over $5000. This is a known problem with numerous forums and videos on the internet describing and promoting 'fixes' for, but in reality, Volvo needs to provide a real solution.
There was (still is) an issue with my 2016 Volvo Xc60's electrical wiring. I was driving, about to get onto the highway when my Volvo stalled on the on ramp. It wouldn't start, it couldn't be jumped. It had to be towed to the repair shop. They charged me over $1,000. 00 for a brand new starter, and after they did it started for one day and then it broke down again. I couldn't even drive it out of the repair shop. I had to get it towed again. The dealership said it was an electrical/wiring issue that could be very expensive. I have found out that there was a recall for 2015 Xc60 Volvos for wiring/electrical issues causing the vehicle to stall. However my 2016 Volvo Xc60 does not qualify per the repair show due to the date it was manufactured. I'm submitting this form for a safety issue because Volvo clearly knew about this issue enough to need recalls for 2015s. There should also be recalls for this same wiring/electrical issue in 2016s.
