XC60 D4 2015 has some issues
I have owned my XC60 from new SE spec with winter pack. It is a great car, lovely engine, lovely 8 speed auto but I have 3 constant issues.
1. Terrible corrosion to the alloy wheels, I raise this at every service. The wheels have not been kerbed or cleaned with chemicals, I do not drive in a large town or city. Volvo supply a poor quality paint finish allowing corrosion from 6 months onwards.
2. I commute 12 miles each way, the the alternator struggles to keep the battery topped up. I often get a low battery warning. The auto stop start only works for a few weeks in the summer. Parking for 3 weeks at an airport left me stranded and calling the AA for a jump start.
3. My XC60 takes ages to warm up thoroughly, 12 miles never seems to be enough.
I used to own a 740GL which had 275k on it when I sold it and a C70 with 105k Both had a much better standard of finish and warm as toast to drive. I am chasing Volvo about the wheels but they are making it difficult. Would not buy again.
