Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2016 Volvo V60CC, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report.

Hello, I currently drive a 2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country which falls under the year of recalled vehicles related to the piston ring issue outlined in the Buchanan, et al. v. Volvo Car USA, LLC, et al., Case No. 2:22-cv-02227. According to the suit Volvo is supposed to replace my oil piston rings if it falls under warranty which is under 100k miles. For Volvo to confirm if my vehicle was impacted they performed an oil consumption test back in March of 2023 in which my vehicle failed meaning the rings still needed to 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.
Currently on going, second time around with high oil consumption problems. Dealer is saying warranty is holding up repairs, warranty points finger at dealership, and Volvo refuses to address the massive safety problem with oil consumption cars by refusing to fix. I will never buy another Volvo, and strongly recommend anyone considering a Volvo to think about how they’re treating current customers with the known oil consumption problem (horribly).

From owner reports, verbatim
Power steering cuts out intermittently. When I took the Volvo in for a recall (seatbelt Sept 5, 2024) I mentioned to Volvo that this was happening. I was told not to worry about it unless it was more consistent. After that it cut out for about a week. I took it in to my mechanic for a diagnostic, but it had started working again. I was told by the mechanic to save my money for a diagnostic and wait until the problem manifested itself again and park the car and call him. It was gifted t me by my son-in-law but I am afraid to drive it. But, unless I drive it the problem won't manifest.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
