Volvo XC60 Major and Minor Faults and Issues

It would be good to hear peoples real life experiences on how reliable their XC 60 has been so far.
It would be interesting to hear about any major or minor issues that have arisen with your vehicles.

I think many on here that have bought or are looking to buy would find this info interesting and please lets keep it on topic ie about the car itself !

5 months and 7500 miles- sensus screen blank for a day, fixed with software update. The centre speaker vibrates a little during the start of Dire straight's Brothers in arms.
That's it, ie nothing, you should see the faults and failures you get on brand new $125 million aeroplanes !

I only borrow them for the weekend!
The one I use is a bit bigger and faster which costs around the $260 million mark, but still breaks down. My biggest gripes are even at 260 million you don't get a memory function on the seat or an intermittent windscreen wiper setting.

5dAWD September 2009 Model. Rising oil problem which has now been successfully resolved with software upgrades and replacement of DPF sensor. Otherwise great driving experience for the past 24 months. All under service plan at no cost.
