The vehicle has experienced intermittent loss of power while driving at highway speeds on multiple occasions. The issue occurred twice on Monday and multiple times again on Tuesday. During these events, the vehicle felt as though it may stall or lose propulsion while traveling in traffic. The vehicle has also intermittently exhibited engine rattling and drivability concerns. In addition, the center display screen has blacked out intermittently, and the audio system has periodically failed to function. Because the loss-of-power issue is intermittent and occurs at highway speeds, I no longer consider the vehicle safe or reliable to operate. Family members won't drive or ride in the vehicle. The vehicle is being reported to Volvo and the dealership as a formal safety concern.

Dear NHTSA, I would like to submit a safety complaint regarding my 2026 Volvo XC60 Ultra, purchased new and currently with approximately 5,939 miles. I am submitting this complaint because I have experienced repeated vehicle behaviors that I believe may have safety implications and have significantly affected my confidence in the vehicle. The concerns include: Brake behavior concern I have experienced inconsistent brake behavior during vehicle operation At times the brakes feel unusually sensitive At other times the vehicle feels less responsive than expected during braking The vehicle behavior has felt inconsistent and unpredictable Vehicle movement concern I have repeatedly noticed unexpected vehicle movement after stopping and placing the vehicle in Park Depending on road conditions, I have experienced both a brief lurch sensation and slight continued movement This behavior has raised safety concerns Winter driving concern During winter driving conditions, I experienced situations where the vehicle felt significantly difficult to control I had previously discussed winter driving concerns with the dealership and was informed that the vehicle should operate appropriately after snow accumulation concerns were addressed During one winter driving event, I experienced a loss of control significant enough that the vehicle contacted a curb and a wheel was damaged Following this experience, I no longer feel comfortable driving the vehicle during snow conditions Collision event The vehicle was involved in a recent mild collision event Based on repeated experiences with inconsistent vehicle behavior, I am concerned that inconsistent vehicle performance have contributed to this event

I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the driver-assistance, lane-assist/steering intervention, and automatic braking systems in my 2026 Volvo XC60. I purchased the vehicle new on May 20, 2026, and it currently has approximately 10,000 miles. I have experienced repeated unexpected steering intervention while driving. On multiple occasions, the vehicle’s lane-assistance system has pulled or attempted to steer the vehicle toward oncoming traffic, requiring me to actively correct the steering. At other times, the steering intervention creates a sensation similar to hydroplaning, sliding, or temporarily losing control of the vehicle. Most recently, the vehicle unexpectedly and violently applied the brakes when there was no apparent obstacle or other reason for emergency braking. I have contacted a Volvo dealership regarding the lane-assist behavior and was told that the factory feature cannot simply be turned off. I am concerned that unexpected steering intervention toward opposing traffic or unexpected severe braking could cause the driver to lose control or could cause a front, side, or rear-end collision resulting in serious bodily injury or death. I am reporting these incidents because I believe this behavior presents a potential vehicle safety defect and should be documented and investigated.

The 2026 Volvo XC60 Ultra comes with hazy rear passenger windows, worse in full sun. These windows are laminated and tinted and are manufactured by Saint-Gobain Sekurit. The hazy rear passenger windows, especially the right one, decrease the driver's visibility and safety when checking the blind spots in traffic. Volvo should issue a recall of these defective windows and provide replacement transparent laminated glass for the rear passenger windows, allowing an unobstructed view for the driver. After contacting Volvo, they offered to replace these windows with tinted tempered glass, which is a downgrade from the laminated windows with noise dampening feature. Volvo is aware of this widespread quality issue and safety concern and chooses not to address it properly for its customers. Please investigate this safety concern and issue a recall for the hazy rear passenger windows in the higher trim Volvo models. Thank you, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
