Anyone have any suggestions for what to do with a dead dead dead 2022 XC60 T8 parked headfirst at 45 deg in a garage? We have already had roadside assistance come out to try to jumpstart the battery, but that didn't work. Should we try this again? We're in the process of bringing out a tow truck, hopefully. We're still waiting for a response. The car is parked front in the garage at a 45 deg angle + we have a curved driveway, so I'm a bit worried about whether it's even towable..

 

wow... Is this a pre-ER or an ER version? what version of the OS do you have loaded? 2.1? 2.2?
How long had it been since you last drove it? And how long since you last had the ICE on?

 

ER version. Not sure about the current OS. I think we last used ICE two Wednesdays ago, but hadn't driven it in a week because we had a bunch of failures start when I drove home from work last Monday: pilot assist stopped working, collision avoidance stopped working, headlight issue came up, back-up and 360 cameras stopped working, and so on. Should've known better than to park the car in the garage with all the errors! Thankfully the towers were able to get it out this morning.

This car has been an absolute nightmare. Was in shop for a full month the day after we purchased it. Had TCAM, collision avoidance system, windshield, & wireless charger replaced. Got a settlement from Volvo when we threatened lemon law. At this point we're just waiting out our CbV terms (12 months since we're in Illinois).

 

Likely the battery is not dead, even it it reads 5 V at the terminal. The car computer just thinks it is dead. Putting a charge on it will not help. You can do a battery disconnect and reconnect. If not fixed, jump start from a running vehicle. Likely needs the software update to fix it, same as all the other XC60 that quit with a "dead" battery. No problem with mine after the software fix. Put car on a dolly, front and or back to move it.
