We have in at least 2 occasions experience the feature "city safety" on our Volvo XC60 2015, braking to a stop while we are in traffic for no apparent reason. The company as well as the dealership claim this is how the feature is suppose to work. According to them the software has its limitations and these limitations include the car stoping abruptly and dangerously. The feature can be turned off but it will reset itself to on every time the car is restarted. The advice was for us to turn the feature off every time we drive in the city and or through fog with defeats the purpose of a feature called "city safe". we believe that the company does not want to admit that the first generation of this feature is not street safe. Thank you

I was driving and my vehicle completely shut down leaving me stranded in the middle of the road. I was not able to turn on the hazard lights. It appeared as if someone completed unplugged my car from the power outlet. Completely black screen on all electronics and if the door opened no lights came on. I have the vehicle at the dealer and they indicated that their might be a corrupt file and a software update is required. I just want to make sure this does not happen to anyone else. This happened while I was driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. Also, the car was not able to go in neutral.

I have serious questions about how a small bump that scraped the front tire, but did not even scrape the exterior of the car could cause the entire rear end suspension and stabilization bar to have to be completely replaced. Are there structural problems with the Volvo Xc60S that could cases this? the car wasn't moving more than 10 mph as it was crossing an intersection from a standstill at a light in a city when the right tire bumped something in the road. It was going straight.
