2026 Volvo V60 CC Lights

There has not been a specific incident yet, but I am very concerned about the lack of lighting in the dark when our vehicle is in reverse. It is very difficult to see when backing up - either to the sides (making it difficult to tell where the edge of the road is), or directly behind (making it difficult to see if we are about to collide with an object or person). We contacted the dealer on 4/27/2026, and were told that this is a known concern with the Volvo V60 2026 models, but that no fix is available yet.

2026 Volvo V60 CC Electrical system Brakes Engine & cooling

Vehicle was purchased from Leikin Motors in Willoughby Ohio on 15 SEP 2025. Since taking ownership, I have had 5 service visits for the same wiring harness issue and once for a throttle body replacement. Volvo has repeatedly denied the issue and has continued to perform more splices into the existing harness blaming the issue on rodents. The vehicle has went into limp mode multiple times and continues to show ABS errors. Neither Portland Volvo Cars (maine) nor my original dealer in Ohio has been able to sort these issues out after multiple months of back and forth with the vehicle each time the issue occurs.

be replaced. Three years later and Volvo Cars Tacoma has still refused to replace the piston rings after multiple follow up attempts. I have also reached out to other Volvo dealers in the area to try and get the rings replaced, but no one ever returns my phone calls. The oil check symptom test was done on my vehicle at 81k miles meaning it still feel under warranty at the time they told me they needed to be replaced. Since then, I have pleaded with them multiple times to fix the issue for three years with zero success although they are LEGALLY required to fix this issue. I took my car in for a repair in November of 2025 and requested they fix the piston ring issue then when they had my vehicle for others repairs and they still refused.

2016 Volvo V60 CC Engine & cooling

Oil consumption has become a major issue and I am putting oil in every 1000 miles! I bought the vehicle certified pre owned in October 2023 and the oil light was consistently coming on early. However, it has since gotten much worse and is constantly burning through oil.
