1 Warnings problem of the 2021 Volvo XC60

Failure Date: 12/02/2024

My car was backed into July 4, 2024, unoccupied and had damage done to the hood and front light and bumper. The person who hit the car had insurance and I took it to a local collison company for the repairs in November 2024. (insured would not return calls to insurance company so it took this long for repairs) I began taking it to Volvo oc in December because the sensors were constantly lighting up and beeping constantly with no one around me. I took it to Volvo many times from December to August 2025. They would have my car for a week or two and think they fixed it and it was not fixed. After Volvo sent me a note saying that corporate was not going to pay to do anything and they were done with trying to fix the car I took it back to my collison company. When Volvo last had it they told me that the wiring harness was not the correct part number and that the collision company installed the wrong one. I called them back and they explained that they had to call Volvo mission viejo and gave them the VIN number and they installed what was sent. I took it back to the collision company and they called and ordered another harness and they received the exact same harness. They installed that one and the sensors still do not work correctly. They then called Volvo mission viego again and they were told there was a cable that was needed if a car was in an accident and 2 sensors needed to be attached to the cable and the other sensors to the harness. So they did that. And still the same issue. At that time Volvo told me that the sensors in my car were not the correct sensors and that they were not the sensors that came with the car. The collision company said they removed the sensors from the harness but attached the exact same sensors during the repair. So both Volvo and the collision company have left me hanging and this is a safety issue. If I am looking one way for traffic and the beeping goes off it is startling to think someone is coming from the other.

2 Warnings problem of the 2019 Volvo XC60

Failure Date: 03/20/2024

The parking collision sensors occasionally stop working during the parking process going from active to fully inactive at the same time. While driving through the city the coward collision has ghost activations where the car believes an object is right in front when there is nothing there. The emergency braking activated once with nothing in front on the highway at speeds over 55 mph and applied full breaking force. Since then the sensors have been turned off.

3 Warnings problem of the 2017 Volvo XC60

Failure Date: 01/23/2023

I pulled my car out of the garage, I saw I had not taken the trash out and had my foot on brake. The car has an automatic shut off at stops to save gas. It shut off, I jumped out thinking it was "off" as there was no engine sound. The car started back up and started going forward. I attempted to jump in to hit the brakes . . . It kept going and hit side mirror, door, me and then kept going! it never stopped! crushed me half in half out of door. My friend jumped in stopped it from passenger side and then started it up to back it up and remove me. I was taken to trauma with fractured pelvis, broken lumbar, cracked ribs and a concussion and stitches! this is supposed to be one of thee safest cars. My family owns 3! the sensors did not stop the car! period! called Volvo and they blew me off after several drawn out forms. Said the car will not stop in reverse. I was going forward! I paid for the black box to be downloaded and it shows no collision recorded but I need two new doors its so bad! it has been since first week of Feb that I have been rehabilitating and several of my doctors have asked why this was not a case with a lawyer? so far most do not want to fight Volvo I guess. I need help with this. I have proof it did not stop or even show collision from sensors. Thank you kimberly bradshaw.
