RECENTLY NOTICED WHEN GOING THROUGH DRIVE THROUGH CAR WASH, THAT WATER IS INTRUDING AT TOP OF WINDSHIELD OVER THE STEERING WHEEL INTERIOR. TOOK TO DEAL TODAY AND SAID IT WAS THE WINDSHIELD SEAL AND OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY SO WILL COST $437 TO REPAIR. I CONSIDER THIS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND HAVE SEEN ON A VOLVO FORUM THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. HOW IS A DEFECT IN WINDSHIELD COMPROMISE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? VOLVO NEEDS TO DO BETTER AS MY 6 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE LEAKING.
Other mileage not reported 7.1 yr in service
MY WINDSHIELD IS LEAKING FROM TWO AREAS ON THE TOP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS CRACKS OR SCRATCHES WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE SEAL IS DEFECTIVE. AS THIS IS PART OF THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND WITHOUT A CRACK, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AS WELL.
Other 48,000 mi 7.3 yr in service
EVERY TIME IT RAINS WATER RUNS IN FROM SUNROOF AND OR FRONT WINDSHIELD GOT TO WHERE YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IN THE RAIN ANYMORE IT IS SO BAD. STILL HAS THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD IN THE CAR.
Visibility / wipers 94,000 mi 6.3 yr in service
VOLVO XC60 GLASS BONDING DEFECT. WHENEVER WATER FROM RAIN HITS THE WINDSHIELD WATER RUNS DOWN THE INTERIOR OF THE GLASS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE BONDING MATERIAL HAS ERODED AND GLASS CAN BE PUSHED OUT OF THE FRAME WITH MY FINGERS. THE LEAK HAS EXPANDED TO ENCOMPASS THE PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS CONCERN THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WILL DISENGAGE FROM THE FRAME. I HAVE CONSULTED A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT COMPANY WHO HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE BONDING MATERIAL IS ERODED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS SEVERAL SAFETY FUNCTIONS OPERATE FROM THIS AREA(AUTOMATIC STOPPING, AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN A ROLLOVER).
