There appeared a crack on the passenger side of the car when making a turn onto a expressway ramp. There were no vehicles in front of me to kick up any road debris. I went to the volvo dealer and the service manager dragged a ball point pen across the crack and said it was hit by something. I could not see any sign of something hitting my car. I am concerned that if something did hit the windshield how could something so small, that it can be seen, cause this damage. My car is 4 months old. I checked the xv40 forum and there were other people having the same problem and some even had the problem several times

The 2021 xc 40 vehicle will periodically not restart - may be something to do with the safety key or some other electrical malfunction. The dashboard shows the battery symbol when the car will not restart as if the vehicle is dead (no electrical connection). Also, when the start button is depressed the dashboard illuminates with the dead battery signal, but otherwise, it seems the button is not connected to the vehicle in that the engine does not respond. Also, we had an issue where the vehicle, while we were beginning to stop at a stop sign, went dead and was not responsive. The “start/stop” function, although engaged in the center console, is often not operational and will show in the dashboard that it is not operational, but then, randomly (not consistent with the reasons itemized in the volvo manual for why the start/stop function may not work), will work on a few stops for that particular drive and then revert back to not being operational on the next trip, although it is engaged to be “on” in the center console. Again, this appears to be a sign or symptom of some sort of electrical malfunction. Now, most recently, my wife and daughter were driving the vehicle, and it lost power and shut off in the middle of the road, horrifying these two individuals and greatly upsetting me that a vehicle sold by volvo would perform so poorly and create a significant hazard to driver and passengers of the vehicle (not to mention others on the roadway). Again, and clearly, there appears to be some sort of electrical malfunction. Clearly, what we first reported to volvo on or about may 17, 2021 was an electrical problem that volvo had an idea or knowledge (knew or should have known) that was or may be similar to the problem they had already issued a recall for on the xc 40 recharge.

The contact owns a 2021 volvo xc40. The contact stated that the vehicle was delivered to his residence by the local dealer. Upon inspection, he became aware that the automatic emergency braking system sensor was not operating as designed while reversing with an object nearby. The local dealer was made aware of the issue however, no assistance was offered. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7.

Within 2-3 weeks of owning the vehicle, my main two screens on the dashboard intermittently changed colors with important information not being visible or the screen went black completely while driving. I took it back to the dealership where i was informed another car of the same make & model was doing the same thing. My car was kept for a week and a half while they were in touch with volvo. Volvo instructed the tech to open tie case, replaced the ihu and reload the software, which was done. About a week after getting my car back the screens began to do the same, but this time if the display was a different color or black and i turned my turnsignal on, it would flash on the perimeter of the display, and not make noise, but it was not actually blinking externally on the front or rear of the car. The display going out with the turn signals not working happened 3 times in 2 days. The vehicle is now back at the dealership where they are incontact with volvo not only about repair, but about giving me a different car because i do not feel safe driving the vehicle with my children in the car.

I was given the car a a demo pending delivery and it stopped unexpectedly while driving nearly causing an accident.

Rear passenger pirelli tire 245/45 r20 103h blowout. Entire tire gone. Damage to rim, brake hose, wheel well, bumper, paint on car, excessive damage to car. Traveling on highway, took exit.
