There are 3 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2016 Volvo S60in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED OUTWARD ON THE HIGHWAY, NO POSSIBILITY OF ROAD DEBRIS HITTING IT AS NO OTHER CARS WERE NEARBY, AND I WAS NOT CLOSE TO AN OVERPASS. I BELIEVE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION CAUSES IT, AS I WAS RECENTLY IN BELOW-FREEZING WEATHER (15*F). ON THE DAY OF THE EXPLOSION I DROVE SOUTH STARTING AT 40*F DRIVING TO 86*F.
SEMI-CIRCULAR STRESS FRACTURE IN WINDSHIELD OCCURRED ON ITS OWN AT SOME POINT AFTER DRIVING IT. NO IMPACT AT ALL. FRACTURE STARTS FROM DRIVER'S SIDE UPPER CORNER DOWN TOWARDS DRIVER'S VIEWING AREA AND THEN CURVES UPWARD.
Windscreen wiper motors failed during inclement weather making visibility impossible. The vehicle was only approximately 2 years old at the time of failure. This created a serious safety issue and may have led to a crash and injury. The dealer diagnosed the issue as failed wiper motors and replaced the motors under manufacturer's warranty.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
