THE STEERING WHEEL TRIM IS SEPARATING AND LEAVING SHARP METAL EDGES. THE CUTS I HAVE SUSTAINED ARE MINOR IN NATURE BUT THE DISTRACTION OF HAVING BLOOD DRIPPING ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING IS SIGNIFICANT. THE PHOTO SHOWS A CUT FROM A DAY AGO, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.
The accelerator got stuck and and the engine went full power. It would not shut off and the overheated.
ON JUNE 14TH DRIVING ON TEXAS 195 AT 55MPH WHEN MESSAGE ON "LOW ON COOLANT, PULL OVER". I IMMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND SAW A MAN RACE TO FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I LOOKED AND THE RAT. FRONT TIRE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FLAMES WERE ALSO COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP AND F.D. INSURED FIRE WAS OUT, AFTER CONTACTING MY INSURANCE I HAD THE CAR TOWED T GEORGETOWN TEXAS, VOLVO. SERVICE PERSON PERSON TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE. I SAID CAR WOULDN'T RUN, I WAS THEN ASKED WHAT I HAD HIT AND I STATED NOTHING. MY WIFE AND I FOUND ON THE VOLVO FORUM THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO THIS YEAR, MAKE,AND MODEL OF CAR ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. ALL MAINTENANCE ON CAR HAD BEEN DONE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
"During airbag deployment, the driver’s hand was burned with blistering. I believe hot gas or chemicals vented abnormally. This caused a painful injury requiring treatment."
Windshield leaks water into cabin. Volvo dealership charged $190 to diagnose problem. Told me I need a new windshield but they do not do glass replacement or repairs. They said sealant is bad at top of windshield. This is the original factory windshield. They referred me to a independent glass company who quoted $900 - $1285 for replacement. Cannot repair only install new windshield. This seems to be a known problem with Volvo cars and the sealant that was used at factory? Not covered by insurance. Car was parked outside during rain.
During a heavy rain storm, I noticed water running down the inside of the windshield. It impaired my vision.
Factory installed windshield is leaking profusely due to faulty adhesive/primer. This is a well known issue that causes havoc on vital electronic systems and should be a national recall. The loose windshield bond can cause the windshield to detach during a crash. The failed windshield bond compromises the structural integrity of the roof.
Faulty seal in OEM windshield sealant/silicone causing water to leak on the inside of car, headliner, and inner windshield. Can cause visibility issues and mildew.
The windshield has come loose at the top allowing water to get into the vehicle when it rains. Water pools on the floor of driver’s side, the headliner gets wet, and the interior smells moldy.
The component or system that failed is the driver side door controls for all four windows and both side mirrors. My safety is at risk as I am unable to adjust my mirrors manually or electronically in order to see. I am also unable to roll down any of the windows in the vehicle from the driver door in the event of an emergency. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the Volvo service center. According to my local Volvo service center, this is a common problem in Volvos and they are very familiar with the repair needed to correct. The problem is that the driver door wiring is zip-tied together and over time, as the driver door opens and closes, the zip tie chafes the insulation off of the wiring causing the copper part of the wires to be exposed and twisted together. There are no warning lights reporting this issue, only that the window and mirror controls stop working. The following video link between 9:38-12:16 explains this issue in Volvos. I am writing to advocate for a vehicle recall. I believe this is a manufacturing flaw which could have been avoided by simply using electrical tape and not a zip tie. The repair has been quoted at $800. Driver side door entry is an essential function and should not be a cause for an electrical fire or drivers’ and passengers’ safety.

The vehicle came to a stop in two different occasions (6 months apart) without a reason. The first occasion was while exiting the freeway, there was no car or object in front of me. The second time I had gone over a manhole and the car screeched to a halt on a city street. I was very fortunate that in both occasions I did not have a car behind me or this malfunction would have caused a collision. After the car stopped I was able to continue driving. After the car stopped the message "Auto braking by City Safety" appeared on the dashboard.

The windshield leaks. The seal is no good. I get wet every time it rains. No repair messages or warning lights were issued by the car. The repair service inspected the car, and they stated the factory glue was non-existent on the seal. Very poor.
The windshield leaks when I am driving from the passenger side and the driver side. Last rain a lot of water got into the car which makes it very dangerous to drive and obviously to break since it gets slippery. I live in the mountains, and we get a lot of rain and now I have to pay out of pocket to get it diagnosed when even the service advisor said that that particular year and models leaks a lot.
Water enters from the front of the windshield while driving.
