Reading the numbers
Across the 6 model years of the Volvo S60 in this data, 2013 draws comparatively few complaints; 2001 is the outlier year.
Filings have fallen off, 22 in the last three years against 32 in the three before. That is normal as a generation leaves the road.
The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 48,000 miles.
In owners' own words
Engine has excessive oil consumption and sets owners up for expensive testing and repairs, because when the original recall came out, many Volvo s60 with excessive oil consumption were barely out of the allowed mileage range, which sticks the owners with excessive repairs. Volvo should stand behind this problem that effects numerous Volvo s60âs and compensate the repairs. Engine
While driving on the highway to work on 12/3/18 my vehicle driver information center displayed a message of "no oil pressure - park safely". As I attempted to pull to the shoulder of the highway the engine started knocking very loudly and shutdown! The engine now has catastrophic failure, with a terrible knocking if the engine is started. It cannot be driven! Engine · reported at 120,000 miles
We believed the 2013 Volvo S60 was leaking oil but the mechanic from local service station did not find a leak. The local mechanic called boston Volvo service and was informed that the Volvo S60's has piston ring problems and to bring the vehicle to boston Volvo for confirmation. Boston Volvo confirmed vehicle has the oil consumption problem. Engine · reported at 71,443 miles
