What are some common problems with the Volvo S60?

I’m a stickler for safety, so I’ve always gone with the safest cars when I’m in the market. However, I want to get something with a little flash and speed, which is why I’m interested in a used Volvo S60. My only concern is that used models may have significant issues. Are there any common problems with the Volvo S60?

The
Volvo S60
is one of the safest cars on the road, but it also gets a 3.5-star rating out of five stars for reliability from RepairPal. This places it in the middle of the pack in the luxury sedan segment, but more mileage could also equate to more issues. Some of the common problems with the Volvo S60 include:
  • Erratic shifting due to a faulty transmission or electronic control unit
  • Failure of the anti-lock brake control module
  • Exterior light bulbs burning out more quickly than normal
  • Faulty sway bar that causes excessive vibration and knocking over small bumps
