All sound keeps shutting down

Among the many problems of the whole “entertainment system” interface, the current persistent issue is the whole sound system—including blinker sounds, radio, spotify or phone while connected—just goes off. Last night it happened when I took off on a one-hour commute with no music, news or calls until I could get home and restart the system. Any insight into why this happens so much, if there are triggers, or fixes?

I love my Volvo recharge, but that entire electronic entertainment system is messed up. The phone is plugged in and charging and apple play says “no device connected”; the climate control is inconsistent, sometimes pushing out cool air instead of warm when the temp is set right, and navigation of the screen is terrible. If the car as a car weren’t so perfect I wouldn’t recommend it, but now that Geely owns it, that part will be straightened out by next year, I anticipate. I hope the drive and handling stay the same!

Is this easily fixed?

Sorry for the silly question in advance - I’ve had my XC60 for barely even a week and my wife has gone and done this to one of the wheels.

I know it was just an accident and it’s negligible damage but needless to say, with the new car feel still well and truly fresh - I am gutted. I know the first scratch is always a million times worse then the 10th but knowing that doesn’t make it any easier :-(

Can anyone give me any recommendations on how easily fixable they think this is and if they think it would be fairly cheaply repaired? as well as any comforting words!

Ventilated Seats Not Working?

I’ve had my 26 XC60 Ultra for about two weeks. The airflow from the ventilated seats is weak, almost non-existent, even though the setting is on high and the AC is cranking. Does it need a service visit or am I missing something about the way it is supposed to work?

Seatbelt question 2026

Hi friends, I’ve got a 2026 xc60 and have had a recent terrible service experience.

The service is finally complete and they sent back my car today with two twisted seatbelts in the front.

I’m sorry if this is a stupid post but i can’t for the life of me figure out how to untwist them. I’ve seen the videos of folding them and pulling through but I’m clearly not doing it properly.

Both driver and passenger seat are twisted like this. I’m extremely annoyed, it’s something minor but it’s really gnawing at me. I want to fix it. Please and thanks.

Seat cover for dog

Just bought a 2026 XC 60B5. So far it’s been great. Our second XC60 and third Volvo the other one being a S70. We have a dog that goes everywhere with us. I have a back seat cover for our Mazda CX9 that covers the rear seat and provides a hard surface over the open leg area. It’s too big for the Volvo, the distance between the back of the front seat and the back of the rear seat is too short in the Volvo. Has anyone found a similar product that fits the XC60?

First Volvo XC60 T8 Ultra w/ B&W

My wife actually convinced me to even consider a Volvo for our family car, which is what we drive with the kids. So she bought an XC90 a couple months ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. I liked it so much I traded my almost brand new 2026 Tesla Model 3 Performance for a brand new 2026 Volvo XC60 T8 Ultra because at the end of the day, I really found myself enjoying the quality materials, premium ride quality, and super quiet cabin on the XC90. Since this is my personal car, I wanted to go with the Ultra for the Nappa leather seats, and I opted for the Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

This car puts a smile on my face every time I drive it and I’ve had tons of cars ranging from Audis, Teslas, Lincoln, etc. The T8 powertrain gives me the option to have a super smooth and quiet ride for up to 50 miles (better range than expected) or throw it into power mode for a 0-60 in 4.5 seconds for some spirited driving. Honestly though, I find myself wanting to keep it in EV mode just for how peaceful the ride is. Plus, with no engine noise it really makes the sound system shine even more.

Can’t really say enough good things about this car and the newer Volvos in general. Looking forward to potentially getting the EX60 in the future!

Reinstalling rear view mirror with dashcam passthrough

Any good tips/advice/videos on how to put back the rearview mirror assembly on a 2018 XC60? So easy to take off and countless video examples of this, but I can’t find a single one of how to clearly pass this thing through and put it back in.

I feel like I’m going crazy with how ridiculously difficult this seems to be compared to the 15 seconds it was to snap out the clips.

Windshield Gap

Is the gap between the top of the windshield and the top of the car normal in this picture?

The Volvo dealership replaced the windshield on my 2026 XC60 PE a couple days ago. I removed the tape that is placed at the top of the windshield today and noticed the gap between the glass and the top of the car. Prior to today, I have never paid any attention to the gap, and now I see it every time I get close to the car.

So, can someone with an XC60 let me know if their vehicle also has this wide of a gap.

Why are we rolling backwards once in park?

My husband recently just purchased a 2025 XC60 and whenever we back it into our parking spot at home and put it into park, the car shifts backwards, almost feels like it’s rolling but the tires never move, it’s just the actual vehicle... Is this normal?

Update to 5.1.17 failed

Hello everybody,

my XC60 B5 MY26 failed to update from 5.0.5 to 5.1.17 due to unknown reasons. Volvo support only can see in their systems, that the update failed. Is there anything I can do, so the car offers the update again to me? Currently the car insists, that it's on the latest version but it's still on 5.0.5. Did reset the infotainment system already but that didn't do anything.

Last resort would be to visit the dealer but I'm not willing to give up yet :D

Cheers

Oil pump wet belt failure.

Did you know that some Volvo 2.0 VEA engines used a wet rubber oil pump belt? Just read a horror story about a 2020 XC60 engine failure at 86k miles due to failed oil pump wet belt failure. Is anyone familiar with this issue? Does anyone know if the 2018 2.0 engines use this horrible design or does my engine have a chain driven pump?

2026 XC60 with Hazy rear windows

I just bought a 2026 xc60 and noticed the back passenger side windows are hazy. I’m seeing this is a known issue - has anyone had a luck getting this resolved? Or is true that this is how they are supposed to look? Seems odd that none of the other back windows look this way? Very annoying for a brand new car

CarPlay not working on my 2026 XC60 Volvo Ultra

Hello,

I’ve had my Volvo for one month now. Last night I was using Apple CarPlay with the usb cord and then it just disconnected out of nowhere. It shows the screen “make sure cord is properly plugged in” or something a long those lines. I tried using a few different cords just to make sure it wasn’t a bad cord. And it is also plugged into the plug with the white square around it. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

Curious numbers for electric efficiency

I’ve got a 2024 T8. The Volvo app claims that the electric efficiency, I believe over the lifetime of the car, is about 24 kWh/100 miles. This would put it in the same range as super efficient cars like the Lucid Air

I have a hard time believing this, since the electric range is about 35 miles and the usable battery capacities is about 15 kWh, which leads about 44 kWh/100 miles, a more reasonable number for a car like this.

Can anyone explain what’s going on here?

Popping noise

I have recently noticed a popping noise on my 2024 XC60 when I go faster than 65mph. It sounds like it is coming from the rear passenger side. Any ideas as to what js causing it?

Got Gemini on my XC60, early impressions are pretty good

So my screen popped up saying I was ready to switch from Google Assistant to Gemini. Checked settings and yep, it’s there. I’m on software version 5.05, ’25 XC60.

Switched it over and so far it feels like a solid upgrade. It understands more natural phrasing instead of needing those rigid robotic commands, and the responses actually feel smarter, like it’s helping you get stuff done instead of just doing basic actions.

Anyone else seeing this yet? Curious if it’s tied to 5.05 specifically or rolling out wider. Will update after I use it more but liking it so far.
