Crash

I was pulling into a parking spot. When I went to accelerate, the car over-accelerated. The engine revved so high, I could not control it. I had nowhere to go and hit a cement wall, totalling my car. All the airbags went off. I did walk away, though. I researched this issue online and it seems there are many instances of this happening. No warnings whatsoever. No recalls at all.

The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V849000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages); however, the VIN was not included in the recall.

2024 VOLVO S60

Filed Aug 28, 2026


When putting vehicle in reverse, camera can become stuck or not load at all impacting rear visibility. This was previously recalled and Volvo claims a remedy through software update but I believe this is processor based and they will need to replace the units with their snapdragon processor to rectify this. Their newer models include the snapdragon processor and don’t have this issue.
