While driving in hybrid mode while both the gasoline and electric motor are running or shifting back and forth, occasionally the electric motor will come on with a sharp, sometimes loud, metallic -??bang-??. The sound and feel appears to be coming from the rear. The last two times it happened, the car lunged forward on its own without additional pressure on the accelerator, and once over the past week it lunged forward near an intersection when lifting off the accelerator pedal and engaging the brake. The lunge almost caused me to rear end the car in front of me which I was not very close to. This occurs about once every 50 miles travelled or once per day and at various speeds. To date it has not generated a CEL or any other type of warning.

"Volvo On Call Service Required" message shows up on the dash suddenly every 3-5 minutes, and the black message box itself is close to, and bigger than, the speedometer reading. It makes it difficult to monitor and maintain speed without distraction. At the same time, every 3-5 minutes, top of the center screen completely flashes with "message stored to Car Status app" to draw driver attention and causes a major distraction while driving.

Central console will "reboot" for no apparent reason. The screen goes blank and after a few minutes it displays a animated rotating circle like it is starting to boot up. It can take 5+ minutes for the reboot process. While it is doing it there is no access to the instruments and controls it provides access to. It usually happens within the first 5 minutes of starting the vehicle, but it has occured 20+ minutes into a drive.

For 5 months now, there has been leaking from the rear side of the intellisafe module located by the middle top of the windshield. I have taken the care to the dealership in multiple locations, they have not found the root cause. I have paid for multiple replacements of the rubber trim and cleaning of interior parts. The water leaks directly over the head unit, and I fear that might cause damage such as a electrical fire or replacement of parts that might become very costly. It happens while still in park and while driving.

While driving with two young children in car, Volvo hood started to smoke. No warning lights or signals went off. We pulled over, turned engine off, removed kids from the car, and within a few minutes, the entire hood of the car was in flames. The car was completely destroyed, even though firefighters extinguished the fire. We have no information as to the cause of the fire - engine, electrical, etc - but the car only had 18,000 miles on it. Volvo had already replaced the rotors twice in two years - highly unusual - but otherwise we had no reason to suspect a problem. We were very lucky we were on city streets and not on the highway where it would have been difficult to impossible to pull over.
