2012 Volvo XC60 Charging Failure
 

Hey everyone , I was out driving this afternoon with my wife and our one week old baby. All of a sudden all of my dash lights came on and it gave me a code of Charging system failure , first my power steering and BLIS shut off and then the car just died. I got an absolutely horrible response from my dealer , does anyone have any idea of what would cause this ?

Still no word from the dealer at this point , I found a few other people with this issue out there. I think it may be just a faulty alternator , I will update again once they call.

Cheers

Just talked to the dealer , alternator was at fault it's the first they've seen at such low Kim's (11k). Oh we'll **** happens :) , loaner car on the way.

battery not charging
 

Hi,
I have similar problem in Singapore .My model is XC60 T6, and Wearnes said my regulator is low and they changed it and ajusted it but recommend i change my alternator too. Just don't understand why such new car have this problem. Did you solve the problem?Let us know.
Thanks
David.

Hi

Our car wouldn't start and all the dash lights come on. Did the alternator solve the problem?

Deb those old posts are from 11 years ago. I suspect it's either your battery or your alternator causing you battery not to charge to start. Did you repair it yet?
