I was driving and the car started shaking and unable to accelerate. I pulled over and the car started smoking and a fire erupted under the hood. I vacated the vehicle and called 911. The car erupted in flames and burned down to the frame. The insurance inspector wasn't able to determine the cause of the fire.
MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR; COME TO FIND OUT THEIR IS A STARTER RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. AFTER NUMEROUS OTHER BREAK DOWNS THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY A MECHANIC THAT IT IS AN ISSUE. VOLVO STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE UNLESS MY VEHICLE WAS THROWING A CODE. WHICH IT NEVER DID WHEN AND WOULD NOT ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC DUE TO THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL PLEASE.
THE REARVIEW CAMERA ON THE NEW VOLVO XC 60 2016 IS NOT RELIABLE - IT TENDS TO BECOME EXTREMELY HAZY WITH EVEN A SLIGHT RAINFALL AND PERHAPS THE POSITIONING OF THE CAMERA / THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE LENSES ARE NOT IDEAL. WE HAVE HAD 4 CARS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS OVER THE PAST 2-3 YEARS AND NONE OF THEIR VISUAL QUALITY DEGRADED TO THE EXTENT WE ARE SEEING IT ON THE VOLVO XC 60. I HAVE ATTACHED A COUPLE OF PICTURES SHOWING WHAT THE IMAGES LOOK LIKE AFTER A BRIEF RAINFALL.
