VOLVO S60 2023 BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
lowWhen shifting the vehicle in reverse the camera goes in black screen mode.
VOLVO S60 2023 BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
lowI received a previous recall notice for the backup camera not working and visited the dealership on August 19, 2025 to recieve the software update that was supposed to fix this problem. Since receiving the fix, I have continued to have the same intermittent interruption of the backup camera as I was having before the "fix". I do not believe the software fix helped the issue and this feels like an underpowered hardware issue.
VOLVO V60 2023 BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
mediumVehicle: 2023 Volvo V60 T8. The rear camera does not display video while reversing and instead text appears stating "camera is temporarily unavailable". This occurs periodically, sometimes it works, sometimes its does not, and there is no pattern to when it works. This has been occurring for over a year and recently my car received the 3.7.0 software update OTA. After the update the issue is the same with intermittent failures of the backup camera. This software/hardware failure make the car less safe when backing up, especially when reversing out of a tight parking spot or onto a road with fences/shrubs. Volvo dealer keeps saying it will be fixed via OTA updates but that has not worked so far. No other warning lights or messages other than the "camera is temporarily unavailable" in the center display.
VOLVO V60 2023 EXTERIOR LIGHTING
mediumVehicle: 2023 Volvo V60 T8. Turn signal failure. About once a week the infotainment system goes black and completely dies while driving, causing the audio in the car to stop working. When this occurs the turn signal is silent when activated. The vehicle uses the speakers to produce the blinker "clicking" noise when actuated, but there is no sound when the infotainment system fails. This causes me to be unsure if my blinker is actually working and possibly increases the risk of crashing, as other around me may be unaware I am turning or merging. Volvo dealerships claim this will be fixed in OTA updates, but my car just received the 3.7.0 software update and the problem still occurs. This has been happening for over one year.
VOLVO S60 2023 UNKNOWN OR OTHER
lowWhile driving on a highway the car went from drive into neutral all by itself and I could not put it into drive. Managed to get to a break down lane and turned car off and on. It started normally in drive, but that only lasted for 30 seconds when it went back into neutral. I was close to my exit and this happened multiple times - was in drive and it went into neutral on its own! Very dangerous. Car was picked up by Volvo assist and towed away last night. Car is 7 months old car with 3800 miles on it. It was towed to the dealer where it was purchased and we are waiting to hear something about cause/fix etc.
