Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

From owner reports, verbatim

I received notice of a recall from Volvo related to my XC60 hybrid's battery over the summer. I took the car in to Prestige Volvo in East Hanover on July 15 to get it checked. They stated the battery had bad cells and needed repair. They said the car was not safe to drive and the repair could take a month due to a backorder. I got the car back in August and shortly thereafter, there was a "hybrid system failure" warning and the battery would not charge. I took the car back to Prestige on Sept. 23 and they stated the cell they replaced was bad and the repair would need to be done again and that there was no courtesy car available to use. They stated they did the repair a second time and the replacement cells were also bad. As of today, Oct. 30, they still have the car and they do not know when it will be repaired. I have reached out to Volvo corporate, who has not responded. I have not had a fully functioning car since July and it is entirely because Volvo has been unable to complete the recall work properly and in a timely fashion.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
