While parking our Volvo in the parking lot of Trader Joe's grocery store on [XXX], the Volvo suddenly accelerated and collided with the adjacent car in the next parking slip and rammed the car in the forward parking slip pushing about 15 to 20 feet ahead.

Crash

My wife was parking our Volvo 2026 XC60 in a parking slot at our local grocery store. Upon pulling into the slot, the car suddenly accelerated and surged forward colliding with the car in the next parking slot and the car in the parking slot directly in front of her. She jammed on the brakes as hard as she could causing the tires to screech. The impact was great enough to shove the car in front of her out into the open isle in front. Luckily, no body was hurt. This could have been a deadly…

2021 VOLVO XC60

Filed Jul 31, 2026


After backing up out of a parking space, the side mirror on the drivers side moves to an unpredictable position and does not return to its original position. This is potentially dangerous because the driver is not aware of this change in position, and when changing lanes may rely on mirror that is in a faulty position. This appears to be some sort of flaw in the logic that tilts the mirror down when backing up and returns to original position when the car is put back in drive. Regardless of…

Volvo 2025 XC60 T8. Rear liftgate closed without request nearly causing an eye injury. The liftgate was open, I was moving back and forth emptying packages from the cargo area.

My eye was within 2 in of hitting the corner of the liftgate. I am taking the car to the dealer to report the incident. I do not see any active recalls…

Fire

Pulling into a gas station, a turtle warning light (limp mode) came on in the dash, and the car started moving very slowly. Moments later the engine was on fire. Basically the entire front end of the car melted away before the fire department in New Buffalo, Mich., could put it out.
