    Owner Reported Trouble Spots

    The Reliability score is based on our latest subscriber survey of 2015 Volvo V60 owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

    In-car Electronics

    Infotainment system (audio, GPS, phone), rear entertainment system, backup or other camera/sensors, head-up display.

    What Owners Say

    In-dash navigation system (GPS)

    "GPS software is far out of date (10 years) so it gives wrong exit numbers, out of date info like "enter the traffic circle" when the traffic circle was removed many years ago. I do not have the ability or the info needed to update the system, and my local dealer was no help at all. I did not buy from them, so I guess that means they are not interested in fixing this problem. It is probably a simple update needed to software. But I'm just the owner driver; I don't know what is needed."

    Anonymous, MA (2015 Volvo V60 T5 Unsure)
    Other in-car electronics problem

    "ABS sensor went bad; non-dealer repair shop fixed it wrong; ABS malfunction caused car not be able to be driven, causing a breakdown while driving on a busy road. The actual brakes were not a problem; just the sensor reading information caused the whole car to shut down in an unsafe and sudden way."
