Rearview System Braking Problems of Volvo XC60

All of the audio warnings in the car suddenly stop working without any associated warning. On certain occasions (once every couple of months, unpredictably) the car's audio completely stops working. This includes any of the safety warnings such as the parking collision or rear cross traffic warnings. The audio starts working again after resetting the infotainment system by holding down the "home" button for 30 seconds. The service department at the dealership appeared to be very familiar with this issue but did not have any proposed fixes.

2022 Volvo Xc60 t8 recharge VIN: yv4br0dm0n1987807 mileage at time of complaint: ~38,400 purchased: November 2023 (certified preowned) description of problem: the vehicle's infotainment system and backup camera have experienced repeated failures since the time of purchase. The backup camera intermittently fails to display an image when the vehicle is placed in reverse, leaving the driver without rear visibility. The infotainment system freezes, goes black, or becomes unresponsive without warning. These failures affect the federally mandated rearview camera display required under fmvss 111. The vehicle has been brought to authorized Volvo retailers (jim fisher Volvo, portland, or and germain Volvo north hills, wexford, PA) more than eight times for in-person service for this concern. The same issues have also been troubleshot remotely by phone or text on approximately ten additional occasions. Software updates, system resets, and other attempted repairs have not permanently resolved the problem. On one occasion, the backup camera failed to display while reversing, which contributed to minor rear bumper damage. The driver was relying on the camera display as designed and federally required, and the system did not perform. I am aware that NHTSA recall 25v282 (Volvo r10320) was issued in April 2025 for this defect across 413,000+ vehicles including the 2022 Xc60. Despite the recall, the underlying infotainment and camera reliability issues in my vehicle have not been resolved. A second recall (25v392) was issued after the initial software fix caused braking concerns in some vehicles. No injuries have occurred. No crashes have occurred beyond the minor bumper contact described above. Volvo customer care case #xxx was opened and a goodwill assistance request was denied.

I was backing up out of my driveway and the camera was not available, nor did the sensor work while I was backing up. I hit a parked car as a result of this, resulting in damage to the back of my car. This has happened before, but never resulted in an accident until this time.

Manufacturer: Volvo car USA llc | initial failure mileage: 15,000 defect description: the google built-in infotainment control unit (icu) and audio control module (acm) are repeatedly crashing/malfunctioning while driving. This system failure is a safety hazard because it simultaneously disables critical features: * safety system failure: the rear cross traffic alert (rcta) is disabled, creating a high risk of collision when reversing. * loss of auditory warnings: all essential auditory cues, including the turn signal click and parking sensor sounds, are lost as the speakers go silent. * distraction: the screen goes black/unresponsive, requiring a dangerous manual reboot while driving. Repair history: the defect has been confirmed and documented by an authorized Volvo dealer (o'steen Volvo) on two prior warranty attempts (6/18/24 & 12/19/24) but remains uncorrected. The dealer has admitted they have "no way to fix this" permanently. Corporate (Volvo customer care) has been notified. This is a recurring, safety-critical manufacturing defect. Most recent issue was 10/25/205.

The sound system of the vehicle failed. No alerts for cross path detection, no parking alerts, no bluetooth calling, no gps guidance, no turn signal sound, no ability to call through the sos feature, and no radio. There is no value to the safety features because there is no audible alert for anything. The when you select radio after listening to bluetooth audio it glitches and turns back to the prior audio source 5-7 times prior to allowing you to stay on the selected source (again no sound so less important of an issue). In addition, the park button doesn’t always work. There are times that I need to press it 3-5 times to put the car in park. The ability to be hands free and use the bluetooth and navigation functions is non existent. The sarasota Volvo dealer walked me through trying to reset the system over the phone but it didn’t work. We have an appointment scheduled in two days to look at the car. No warning signs or alerts came up.
