POWER TRAIN
OUR VOLVO S60 HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH WHAT'S COMMONLY CALLED TRANSMISSION FLARE. WHEN SHIFTING INTO LOWER GEARS FROM A STOP OR AT LOWER SPEEDS AND IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION JERKS THE CAR FORWARD SEVERELY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTS IN ONLINE CAR FORUMS WITH CONSUMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHILE IT STARTED OUT AS A NUISANCE THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND IS AGGRAVATED BY HOT WEATHER, SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE VOLVO ON A DRIVE FOR SUMMER VACATION. WE TRUSTED VOLVO'S QUALITY AND INTEGRITY WHEN PURCHASING OUR CAR AND ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHEN WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR WHAT WE COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY SUGGESTED WE PURCHASE A NEW CAR FROM THEM. SHAME ON YOU VOLVO. BEFORE THIS PROBLEM WE WERE PROUD VOLVO OWNERS NOW WE FEEL RIPPED OFF AND ABUSED.

ENGINE
2012 VOLVO S60. VEHICLE IS AT 64,114 MILES. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT A RUBBER DIAPHRAGM IN THE OIL TRAP HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO ON FULL VACUUM AND IN-TAKE TOO MUCH AIR AND OIL. IN FACT, IT WAS TAKING IN SO MUCH OIL THAT THE OIL WAS NEARLY DEPLETED. HE STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN SIMILAR ISSUES WITH VOLVOS IN THE PAST. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL SERVICE. AT THAT TIME, HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE'S OIL WAS ALMOST DEPLETED. I'M NOW BEGINNING TO SUSPECT THAT THE BROKEN DIAPHRAGM IS RELATED TO THAT ISSUE AS WELL. I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING DEPLETED OIL (AND THE LACK OF A DRIVER NOTIFICATION DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING OIL SENSOR). THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE OIL DEPLETION IN THESE OTHER CASES AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DEAD LAST WINTER; NO LIGHTS, NO INDICATORS, NO INSTRUMENTS, NOTHING. I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. JUST AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ONE. A VOLVO TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE JAPANESE FIRM THAT VOLVO HIRED DID A POOR JOB AND MANY OF THE INSTRUMENT PANELS HAVE DEFECTIVE SOLDERING AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OR HAVE THE PANEL "RE-POINTED". APPARENTLY, IT IS LESS OF AN ISSUE IN MOIST CLIMATES. VOLVO WILL NOT REPAIR THE PANEL. THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE IT. I WAS QUOTED $1,605.00 PLUS $157.00 TO PROGRAM IT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE TECHNICIAN KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. SO, AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS NOT A UNCOMMON PROBLEM. WITH A DEAD INSTRUMENT PANEL, YOU CANNOT DETERMINE HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN YOUR CAR, NO OIL INDICATOR, NO TURN SIGNALS, NO HIGH BEAM, OR ANY OF THE ALERTS OR REMINDERS THAT THE COMPUTER PUTS UP.

HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SOFTWARE PROBLEMS. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ALL ELECTRONICS WILL GO OFF. ALSO, CAR WONT ALWAYS SHUT DOWN OR START PROPERLY. LOOKED OVER MANY FORUMS AND FOUND THE EXACT COMPLAINTS. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL AND SOFTWARE FOR THE S60, BUT APPARENTLY THEY DONT APPLY TO MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.
