On July 28, 2026, at approximately 3:30 p.m., I was stopped in my 2025 Volvo EX30 at the intersection of Laurel Avenue and Mount Pleasant Avenue in Livingston, New Jersey. When the light turned green, I applied the accelerator normally. The vehicle unexpectedly surged/lurched forward and struck another vehicle. After the accident, the tow-truck operator reported that the Volvo lurched forward three or four additional times while he was attempting to load it onto the truck. He reported that this behavior did not occur while unloading it in reverse. Volvo subsequently inspected the vehicle and retrieved electronic data. Volvo states that the data showed full accelerator-pedal input and that th

I was checking EV charging locations on my Pixel 10a while the EX30 was driving in Pilot Assist mode. I was hand-free. The car was chirping at me to do something, I have XXX while cars zoomed past at 80 mph or more (just outside of [XXX]). Vehicles were depertely swerving, honking, I was yelling at the car to move... it remained tied to the ground. After what felt like an eternity (you'll need to check the car black box), I realized my phone needed to be placed back on the middle console to get a 'key read'. At least 20 cars swerved, slammed on their brakes, and came within inches of smashing the car (with my wife), we thought we were dead. I take full responsibility for unsafely using my ph

This car is subject to NHTSA Recall Number 26V103, manufacturer's recall number R10362. I learned about the recall on February 23 via a Reuters article, but received nothing from Volvo. In follow-up with Volvo I was told on February 25 via email that there was no recall on my car. After some digging, I found through the NHTSA site that the recall did apply to my car. When Volvo corporate finally got their story right with prodding from my local dealer, I instructed to reduce charging to 70% and not to charge in or near my home or other flammable material, like trees. I have received a notice of recall a few weeks later from Volvo. After multiple escalations, and nearly 4 months without any t

A battery recall was placed on the vehicle on February 18, 2026. However, the battery fire risk existed before this date. According to Volvo's instructions, I can only charge to 70 percent. We are also instructed to only charge when the vehicle can be monitored. Because of my business and need to have a vehicle ready to go at all times, I have to charge overnight. It is my only vehicle. I take care of elderly parents, live in rural Indiana, and need to have the vehicle ready in case of emergencies and at a moment's notice when clients request home showings. Volvo Customer Support has ceased to communicate with me, and there is no fix in sight. I'm leasing and not able to use the vehicle as p

I am filing this complaint regarding NHTSA Recall 26V103 (Manufacturer Recall R10362) for my 2025 Volvo EX30, VIN [XXX] . The recall was issued February 18, 2026 for a fire, overheating, and smoke safety risk due to potential overheating of the High-Voltage battery cell. The remedy requires battery module inspection and replacement, however Volvo has acknowledged that no replacement parts are available and has provided no estimated timeline for repair. I have not received any repair. No parts have been installed. No remedy has been performed on my vehicle. Despite this, my dealer marked recall R10362 as Closed on or around April 30, 2026 without performing any repair. When I contacted Volvo
