The child safety lock is not engaged. The door latches on the rear right passenger door in my car has failed. It fails to unlock when from the inside. In an emergency situation. Passengers won't be able to exit the vehicle quickly. The Problem can be reproduced and there are current door latch recalls in other models but it needs to extend out these models too. It has not been inspected by police but. again there is a recall for similar models. The recall should extend out to these models. No warning signs.

While driving on the highway, the rear passenger door unlatched automatically and opened. The vehicle was in the shop for a recall on this part, however it appears that the labor was not done correctly or at all.

My S60 2015.5 abruptly cut off when at a standstill "stationary" in traffic and on the highway traffic the warning system sound came on, as if close to an object, then the screen flashed on then off one time. Within minutes of a complete stop, the car cuts off completely. The screen displayed "turn on engine." My car had to be placed in park before the engine would start. This had occurred at least three times in 2019. I was wondering if anyone had this experience. The issue was unable to be dupicated and no fault code.

Stationary vehicle equipped with keyless ignition and auto engine "start/stop" feature. Vehicle was stopped in driveway. Engine stopped, driver stepped out of car, engine restarted and moved forward, damaging home and barely missed pinning driver against wall. Experienced driver, momentarily distracted, assumed engine was off, and having previously disabled start/stop feature, believed that vehicle was in park as part of normal shutdown - owing to already quiet engine. Call to dealer service revealed "several people" complained of auto start/stop feature but said there was no way to reset default for this feature - the solution was to remember to disable each time driver entered car (Volvo has a disable button on console which defaults to the auto start/stop and requires driver to manually disable each time car is started).

I was in stop-and-go traffic on a level surface street. After I came to a stop, the stop-start system shut off the engine. When I let up on the brake slightly, the car started to roll forward, but the engine didn't start (it normally does this). When I let up lightly more and quickly used the accelerator, the engine felt like it stalled. Once stalled, the dashboard screen read "press start." Pressing start didn't do anything or provide any feedback, and successive attempts didn't help. After not hitting anything for a ~minute, I finally got feedback: The car wasn't in park. After putting it in park from drive, I was able to start it. This all makes sense for a car with a manual transmission, but "stalling" an an automatic, then getting incorrect instructions was unnerving. If the car had an actual key, I probably would have tried turning it off, failed, then realized the car was still in drive, but the push-button start doesn't make it clear what state the car is in. I can't remember if I initially came to a stop or was < 1mph. I also can't remember if I applied the brakes as the engine started to start back up, then let up on the brakes, or if I only let up on the brakes once.
