What owners reported
2022 Volvo S60 owner complaints in detail
Owner complaints3
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners report several electrical issues with the 2022 Volvo S60. A common problem involves the indirect TPMS system falsely indicating low tire pressure, often leading drivers to disregard alerts. Another frequent complaint is the main center display going blank randomly, sometimes accompanied by a loud squealing sound, which disrupts HVAC and audio functions. Additionally, some owners describe the vehicle shutting off unexpectedly while driving, with warning lamps indicating various system failures. These issues appear to occur across a range of mileages and have significant safety implications, particularly when the car shuts off at highway speeds.
Owner complaints2
STEERING
Owners report issues related to the steering and tire performance of the 2022 Volvo S60. One complaint mentions a combination of power steering, brakes, battery, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) without further detail. Another owner describes frequent tire replacements due to damage from potholes, attributing this to the low-profile tires (235/40R19) fitted on the vehicle, which are perceived to be more vulnerable to road impacts. This owner has experienced these issues at approximately 11,000 miles. While there are no direct reports of crashes or loss of control, the tire damage could suggest potential safety concerns if not addressed.
Owner complaints2
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Owners of the 2022 Volvo S60 report issues related to the fuel/propulsion system, particularly involving unexpected vehicle behavior. One complaint describes a situation where the vehicle, after a 40k service, displays a turtle icon and check engine light, limiting speed to 25 mph, which could pose a risk on faster roads. Another complaint outlines an intermittent issue when transitioning from reverse to drive, where the vehicle initially fails to move and then unexpectedly accelerates forcefully. Both complaints highlight concerns at different mileage points, with one occurring shortly after a routine service. These issues suggest potential safety implications, including the risk of rear-end collisions and loss of vehicle control, particularly during acceleration.
Owner complaints2
POWER TRAIN
Owners report issues with the power train of the 2022 Volvo S60, specifically related to transmission performance and loss of motive power. Complaints frequently mention the transmission not shifting properly, particularly between second and third gear, and the presence of warning lights such as the check engine light and a transmission service warning. In one case, a loss of communication with control modules led to a complete halt while reversing, with the vehicle unable to move until the ignition was cycled. This issue was noted at a very low mileage of approximately 160 miles. Safety implications include sudden braking and potential loss of control, which could increase the risk of accidents. Multiple owners indicate these problems occur early in the vehicle's life, suggesting potential reliability concerns for prospective buyers.
