BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

1 Report33% of total

Previewing the first 1 complaint summaries.

Vehicle: 2023 Volvo V60 T8. The rear camera does not display video while reversing and instead text appears stating "camera is temporarily unavailable". This occurs periodically, sometimes it works, sometimes its does not, and there is no pattern to when it works. This has been occurring for over a year and recently my car received the 3.7.0 software update OTA. After the update the issue is the same with intermittent failures of the backup camera. This software/hardware failure make the car less safe when backing up, especially when reversing out of a tight parking spot or onto a road with fences/shrubs. Volvo dealer keeps saying it will be fixed via OTA updates but that has not worked so far. No other warning lights or messages other than the "camera is temporarily unavailable" in the center display.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 Report33% of total

Previewing the first 1 complaint summaries.

Vehicle: 2023 Volvo V60 T8. Turn signal failure. About once a week the infotainment system goes black and completely dies while driving, causing the audio in the car to stop working. When this occurs the turn signal is silent when activated. The vehicle uses the speakers to produce the blinker "clicking" noise when actuated, but there is no sound when the infotainment system fails. This causes me to be unsure if my blinker is actually working and possibly increases the risk of crashing, as other around me may be unaware I am turning or merging. Volvo dealerships claim this will be fixed in OTA updates, but my car just received the 3.7.0 software update and the problem still occurs. This has been happening for over one year.
