ODI #11695906

ENGINE — Filed 09/03/2024

The engine consumes an excessive amount of oil, requiring the addition of about one quart every few hundred miles. There are no visible external leaks, and the issue appears to be due to internal engine components such as piston rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber. This poses a risk of engine damage and loss of power. The problem has been observed consistently and confirmed by a repair shop. No crash or safety incident has occurred, but the vehicle's reliability and safety are compromised.

My Volvo has a known by Volvo defect of consuming too much oil resulting in me needing to top off oil roughly every 6 weeks. Volvo will not cover the repairs in full, I believe this is a safety issue as it could result in a catastrophic failure.

This car has an oil consumption problem but Volvo advises it will not repair. Other, similar models have similar oil consumption problems that are the subject of recall. This was also subject of class action lawsuit We have had to spend hundreds out of pocket to repair. Why isn't this model year in the recall? Other years - same engine - before and after this are subject of recall?

Water is leaking inside my 2015 Volvo V60 from the windshield creating a distraction while driving. The Service Rep. from my Volvo dealer said they do no repair windshield seals, only windshield replacement. I brought my car to an auto glass repair shop. After 45 minutes of diagnosis, the mechanic confirmed there is a leak in the windshield seal. The windshield on my vehicle is the original and has never been damage or replaced.

STRUCTURE — Filed 08/26/2021

The latch on the driver side door stuck in the open position and the door latch would not function. The door remained unlatched and unsecured. All of the door latches were replaced at the dealer on 28 Dec 2020 per recall R89978. The problem hasn't been confirmed by the dealer yet but is scheduled. The car was parked at the time so no indication of a problem until I sat in the drivers seat and the door remained ajar with the handle stuck in the open position.
