THE 12V ACCESSORY PLUGS (AKA THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER) KEEPS RANDOMLY BLOWING FUSES. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT 12V TO USB PLUGS AND OTHER ACCESSORY PLUGS BUT DOESN'T HELP. TENDS TO BLOW ON STARTUP. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND THOUGHT WAS RESOLVED IN 2015 MY. APPARENTLY NOT AS EVEN PUTTING HIGHER AMPERAGE FUSE DOES NOT HELP. IF SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IS CAUSING THIS TO BLOW, IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO BUT AFTER REPLACING 10 FUSES, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

PLEASE FIND THE PHOTOS ATTACHED WITH THIS COMPLAINT.

TOOK CAR THROUGH THE CAR WASH. AS I WAS SLOWLY EXITING TO PARK INTO A SPOT TO VACUUM THE CAR, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE UP TO THE SPOT AND STARTED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR BY ITSELF REVVED UP THE ACCELERATION JUMPED OVER THE CURVE EVEN AS I WAS LITERALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. FINALLY IT DID STOP AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO-ONE IN FRONT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO CHECK WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT NONE HAVE BEEN ISSUED. I NEED TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR THEM TO INSPECT IT WHICH I PLAN TO DO. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. IT WAS A VERY TERRIFYING MOMENT.

THE REMOTE KEYLESS DRIVE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED BY VOLVO AND MINE HAS, VERY MUCH, BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS MANY OTHER VOLVO OWNERS. NOTHING ON MY KEY FOB WORKS UNLESS YOU ARE WITHIN 12 INCHES OF THE CAR.IMAM 100% DISABLED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND MY WIFE HAS TERMINAL BRAIN CANCER. WHEN WE DRIVE TO APPOINTMENTS ETC, DUE TO MY SHORT TERM MEMORY ISSUES, I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE I PARKED MY CAR. ALSO, THE PANIC BUTTON DOESN'NT WORK FOR THE ABOVE REASONS. EVERY TIME I AM OUT, I'M TAKING A CHANCE OF GETTING MUGGED, ROBBED OR CAR JACKED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY SAFETY FEATURE ON MY VOLVO CAR. THE VOLVO TECHNICAL JOURNAL 27316.7.2, EXPLAINS WHAT'S HAPPENING, BUT VOLVO WILL ONLY ATTEMPT TO FIX IT, IF I PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. ACCORDING TO VOLVO FORUMS, THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS COMMON AND YOUR AGENCY SHOULD RECALL EVERY VOLVO WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAVE VOLVO REPAIR IT AT NO CHARGE. IF I GET ROBBED, MUGGED OR CARJACKED, DUE TO THE KEY FOB AND PANIC BUTTON NOT WORKING, I W...
