I was driving and the car started shaking and unable to accelerate. I pulled over and the car started smoking and a fire erupted under the hood. I vacated the vehicle and called 911. The car erupted in flames and burned down to the frame. The insurance inspector wasn't able to determine the cause of the fire.

When stopped at a stop light, have to hold brake down in order to keep the car from driving as the rpms are revving up and down, causing the car to want to move and when in park revving so high that it went into red and caused the check engine light to come on and I had to turn off the vehicle. Also the gas tank filler tube cloggs up easily and has to be dropped in order for the tube / vents to be cleaned out or replaced.

I drove my car to the garage and want to turn off the car. The car suddenly start to accelerate and went through my garage door. All side airbags are popped up, but not front airbag. Around a year ago, when my drove her car slowly due to heavy traffic, the car stopped and needed to turn on the car. I am not the expert but think the electric control system may have problem of my car.

My car stopped in the middle of the road with my child in the car; come to find out their is a starter recall associated with this year make and model, but not associated with my VIN. After numerous other break downs this was confirmed by a mechanic that it is an issue. Volvo stated they could not find the issue unless my vehicle was throwing a code. Which it never did when and would not according to the mechanic due to this issue. Please assist me in getting this issue fixed under the previous recall please.

The rearview camera on the new Volvo xc 60 2016 is not reliable - it tends to become extremely hazy with even a slight rainfall and perhaps the positioning of the camera / the material used for the lenses are not ideal. We have had 4 cars from other manufacturers over the past 2-3 years and none of their visual quality degraded to the extent we are seeing it on the Volvo xc 60. I have attached a couple of pictures showing what the images look like after a brief rainfall.
