    Owner Reported Trouble Spots

    The Reliability score is based on our latest subscriber survey of 2015 Volvo XC60 owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

    Engine Major

    Engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, turbocharger or supercharger, timing chain or belt.

    What Owners Say

    Cylinder head

    "The cylinder would not allow suitable cylinder compression to be maintained, there required engine to have to be replaced"

    Anonymous A., GA (2015 Volvo XC60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)
    Engine rebuild or replacement

    "Engine burned excessive amounts of oil beginning at75000 miles. Volvo replaced pistons and rings under warranty. Car now running excellent"

    Anonymous, CA (2015 Volvo XC60 T5 2.5-L 5 Cyl turbo)

    In-car Electronics

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

    What Owners Say

    Other in-car electronics problem

    "The Infotainment system doesn't work 80% of time including radio, cd player and hands free bluetooth phone. When I start the car, if the radio comes on immediately it will trip off (circuit breaker?) within a few seconds. If the radio doesn't come on for several seconds, it will always come on and stay on. I guess I should take it to a Volvo specialty mechanic."

    Anonymous, PA (2015 Volvo XC60 T6 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)

    "The electronic control module for the rear gate lift failed. Caused all the warning lights to illuminate on the dash. Took two weeks to diagnose. Part is $1500. Have been waiting for the part since March. Projected to arrive in September (maybe). Gate can be opened manually. Volvo paid for a new engine at 84,000 miles, due to bad piston rings design. So, keep it or trade it? Now almost 10 years old, dated technology."

    Anonymous, IN (2015 Volvo XC60 T6 Drive-E 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)
    Self-turning headlights

    "The problem was with right headlight a time bending light system. It started in April 2023 and I had it repaired by an independent Volvo mechanic in April 2023 be ause it was much cheaper than having it repaired at a dealership. The entire headlamp assembly had to be replaced."

    Anonymous, CO (2015 Volvo XC60 T6 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)

    Gear selector and linkage, transmission computer, transmission sensor or solenoid, clutch adjustment, rough shifting, slipping transmission, leaks.

    Rough shifting

    "I use this car mostly for local driving under 5 miles around town. When I drive a longer distance and over 30 minutes of driving, the transmission slips on start up from stop. This has been going on for several years. I guess I should bring this problem to a specialty Volvo mechanic."

    Anonymous, PA (2015 Volvo XC60 T6 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)

    What Owners Say

    Evaporator

    "I had never had an air conditioning problem with any other car I owned. However, the car spent the last 7 years in Florida. Air conditioning is used nearly every time the car is driven. The interior simply didnt feel cool. It lost 50% of the refrigerant. I opted for the part to be replaced, which was costly."
