While parking our Volvo in the parking lot of Trader Joe's grocery store on [XXX], the Volvo suddenly accelerated and collided with the adjacent car in the next parking slip and rammed the car in the forward parking slip pushing about 15 to 20 feet ahead. Luckily, nobody was hurt though it could have been a disaster is someone was standing there near either of the other two cars. No one other than the auto body shop has inspected the car. The police came but did not write up a report because it was on private property and there were no injuries. Nothing on the instrument panel then or now shows any indication of a malfunction. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In the four months that I have owned this car, the following issues have occurred and have not been resolved: - Google Maps suddenly stopped working while navigating while I was driving on multiple occasions. - Bluetooth connectivity will disconnect suddenly and not reconnect - All audio in the car has stopped since 7/2/26. This includes turn signals, safety alerts, cross traffic alert. This has happened on at least 4 separate occasions (lasting 2 days or more) and usually resolves, but this has persisted. I have called the service department each time and been told there is nothing they can do about it and that I have to wait for a software update. I updated the software on 6/15/26 and the problem seems to have gotten worse. - Backup camera intermittently does not work and screen is black - Radio will freeze on station. Audio will change but screen will not. - Climate control does not work on auto. Fan will not adjust based on temperature, has to be adjusted manually even in auto mode. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of my children when driving in this vehicle. The electrical system has proven to be unpredictable, and my research has shown that this is not an isolated issue. The vehicle has been at a Volvo service center 3 times for this same issue and continues to have the same unresolved problems. There were no warning lamps or symptoms prior to the system malfunctioning, it happens while I am driving. This poses a hazard to me and to the people driving around me.

Both rear original-equipment tires on a 2025 Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid (bought new mid-2025, approx. 20,000 miles) have developed bulges on the outer sidewall just below the tread shoulder. Tires are Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season, size 255/40 R21 102V, Volvo-specification (VOL / PNCS). Driver-side rear: DOT 1XB RM582P 0325. Passenger-side rear: DOT 1XB RM582P 0325. Both failed tires are from the same production week (week 03 of 2025) and have failed in the same location in the same way. The two front tires (DOT 0325 and 0225) show no bulges. The driver-side rear bulge was first noticed in June 2026. The vehicle was inspected at a Volvo dealer on 09/10/2026; the dealer did not identify the passenger-side rear bulge, which the owner found the following day on close inspection. No known pothole, curb, or road-debris impact to either rear tire; the wheels have only minor cosmetic parking scuffs on the rim lips. Passenger-side rear tread depth is 4/32 in. A sidewall bulge indicates internal cord separation and risk of sudden tire failure at speed. The tires are still mounted and available for inspection. A Pirelli original-equipment warranty claim is being filed through the Volvo dealer; no manufacturer (Pirelli) inspection has occurred yet. No warning lights or prior symptoms. NHTSA already has complaints on file for this tire on the XC60, including a sidewall bulge at low mileage on a 2026 XC60.

I was driving home in my VolvoXC60. I think its a 2025 or 2024 model. I drive very safe and never do anything crazy when I drive. I came to a stop like normal at a red light and the screen said accident detected (specifically rear collision avoidance or rear collision something) and the seatbelt started crushing my chest and my body. It just continued to press down and crush me and the car wouldn’t let the seatbelt unbuckle like it was locked up. It was locked and basically just sucking her in with a very strong force. No car got close to me and I finally got it after like 2 minutes and drove home. I think its pretty unbelievable a new suv which is supposed to be very safe and reliable does that and appreantly and my chest is still very sore. Both dealerships near us don’t have a loaner car for a month. It was very scary and basically the car was crushing me for multiple minutes.

It appears, that due to a production defect, the right and left rear driver and passenger side windows are permanently fogged up making it difficult to see when driving. I have seen other reports that make the same observation, , but there apparently is no safety or production recalls by Volvo. This is definitely a production and a safety issue!
