'10 Volvo xc60 won't start

Asked by dend88 Oct 30, 2018 at 08:57 PM about the 2010 Volvo XC60 3.2

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Over the last month randomly I would get a message "replace the battery in
the key fob".  I had not yet done that and yesterday I came out for my
lunchbreak from work and the car would not start.  It attempted to turn over
but did not actually start.  I tried 3 more times and on the 4th time it finally
started.  Then when ready to return to work after lunch it started no problem.  
After work, again it would not start.  I tried putting the key fob in the key slot
and then the car started so I was able to get home from work.  This morning,
the car would not start.  Nothing I tried would work.  On my lunch break I
walked to Rite Aid and purchased 2 replacement batteries for the key fob.  
Installed them and still the car will not start. Since the dashboard lights up and
I am able to use the key fob to lock/unlock the doors I'm assuming it's not a
dead car battery.

My xc60 have the same problem. The mechanic said it was pump defect, The pump was changed. It was fine for about a month and now The motor did not start. It tries to start but could not start. What could be the problem? There was no message on the dash board.

Exactly the same in my 2009 xc60 2.4 D. I will put the key in and it wont start the car on the fifth or 6th attempt it starts. Then if I use it an hour later the car will start ok. Thought the battery wasn't been able to start the engine but I checked it with a multimeter and it's fine. Seems like a common issue. Did you get to the bottom of the problem? Seems like the key is faulty. I have 2 keys and it does the same with each one. If anyone could shed any light on this issue?

    The mirrors on my XC60 are not retracting when locking the car. It started yesterday. We've had a couple of days of temps in the teens. Not sure if that is causing the problem.
