2015.5 s60 T5 clicking/ticking noise when accelerating

Has anyone experience this issue? I have a 2015.5 S60 T5, when accelerating, I get this ticking/clicking noise for about a second or so. And it feels like its losing power. Usually occurs between 3k to 4K rpm. I feel like I don't get that quick torch. Any idea?

Might be Auto Start / Stop. When it switches over the car idles on electric and when accelerating the gas engine restarts. Sometimes bit jerky.

Sorry that doesn't make any sense. start/stop will only come on when under 5 mph in eco mode only, otherwise it engages when at 0 mph.

I made a blunder when I typed. I meant to say so you have the car in Sport Mode and is the Auto Start / Stop Engaging? As sport mode causes the RPMs of the car to rev up. I've not tested, but I presume Auto Start / STop is enabled does work with Sport Mode. Therefore, is it accelerating from a dead stop or is it accelerating in general to reach 3000 to 4000 RPM "threshold" before clicking begins?

Just a thought here. When you have a problem, it's a very good idea to take a video of the issue. This way, even if the tech can't figure it out, you have evidence of the issue. And can always request that the dealer create a help ticket so that Volvo's master tech's can see / hear whats going on.

So far no fix as of 02/12/21. Class action time. I traded mine off at a big loss because i feared total engine failure.

Volvo hasn't been class actioned on the piston ring issue where cars from circa 2011-2016 burned through oil, requiring an engine tear down, to replace pistons and rings. In the worst cases, the cylinder walls were scored, and a whole new engine was warranted.

Somehow I doubt this will reach the level of action you're gunning for.

Class actions are up to us owners. It is obvious Volvo doesn't care and are deflecting the issue. I have contacted an attorney about a class action.

An attorney has to take the lawsuit. The lawsuit has to be beneficial to owners. Half the time, even if there is a class actions, the lawyers walk away with boatloads of money. The people needing compensation then see the leftover scraps.

Please provide the attorney's info... I'm interested in participating as well
Even though I traded my 2015.5 V60 and bought a CPO 2019 V90, i still don't like the way Volvo NA handled the "known issue" fortunately the local dealer and their mech staff really did everything they could and continued to do so consonantly replacing rings / spark plugs etc...

You replied to wrong person. @wvrick said he contacted an attorney.
