What Owners Say
"the camera screen became grainy"
Anonymous, IL (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"Stops working when warmer temps of Spring arrived. It either does not work at all or image is distorted. Worked Ok all winter"
Anonymous, MA (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"Backup camera began tilting downward within 9 months of owning the car. Took it in for service, they tried adjusting and the issue happened again. Took it in for service and they reset it, which helped, but the angle still isn't correct"
Anonymous, MO (2013 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)"Commercial CDs kept sticking in the unit - I replaced it for almost $1000 and they still stuck. Volvo refunded my money, but I still can't play certain CDs with a different coating, that are NOT home recorded, but commercially purchased."
Anonymous, CA (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"display screen flashed on and off, sound had lots of static, then the sound system quit working at all"
Anonymous, NY (2013 Volvo S60 T6)"The fuse kept blowing out in the charger. We took it to the dealer and he recommended a certain kind of car charger"
Susan M., FL (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"Stopped working with the USP plug. Still waiting for parts! Can't charge phone or send the sound through the radio except via Bluetooth"
Denise B., CA (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"was not able to sync up phone due to bad module after software download"
Anonymous, NJ (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"The radio will just stop working for awhile, then start working again. Maybe once every week or two. This has been going on for years but it always starts working again so it doesnt make sense to take it in since it works most of the time."
Anonymous, MI (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"There is some very annoying resonance in the front left speaker. The sound is intermittent. I have taken it to the dealer twice and they are unable to reproduce or fix"
Anonymous, CO (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)"The problem is that it doesn't HAVE voice control commands. I have to scroll through phone numbers and punch buttons to make calls, necessitating taking my eyes off the road! There is no voice command button in my car"
Denise B., CA (2013 Volvo S60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)
"The design of the system is terrible. When you put the car in reverse it will still be up for an obstacle that is in front of you which means it every time you park in your garage beeps from the wall in front of you when you back up or when you park in the parking lot you get beeps from the parking sign in front of you. It makes you not believe that there is an actual obstacle there. I wish there was a way to turn off the sounds and just leave the display"
