Can't wait to get out of this car

By Andrew M. written on 12-11-2016

This is our second XC90 since February of this year. The first was back at the dealer so many times with various software issues that Volvo of North America bought out the lease and got us an identical 2016. The second vehicle has been equally disastrous. Brake problems at 3,000 miles (rotors and pads, front and back), defective auto stop, battery charge issues, recalls, suspension squeaking -- need I say more? 128 Volvo has been very accommodating on both the sales and service end and I have now filed a complaint with Volvo of North America to end the lease. Such a shame, as the car is gorgeous and drives sweet when I have it. The computer system is confusing to say the least and the climate control goes from no air at all to a veritable Swedish wind tunnel. We had an XC60 for years with never a problem. I'm chomping at the bit to get out of this vehicle.

Who needs options

By Dale written on 11-19-2015

The base Momentum is a steal compared to the competition. The only option I ordered was a trailer hitch. The ride is smooth and quiet. The sound system is great. The seats are the most comfortable I have every experienced. So many optional items on other vehicles are standard such as heated, leather, power seats, huge moonroof, navigation and lots of safety features. We are getting 27 to 28 MPG on the highway at 70 to 75 miles per hour in calm winds. I am not a fan of the auto start/stop function and I prefer the Dynamic driving mode which is very peppy in city driving and disables the start/stop function. I wish the car remembered the previous driving mode setting so you don't have to select it each time you start the car. I also would like to see a Home Link option for opening the garage door.

Parking brake needs service

By Jo written on 12-22-2015

I have owned my 2016 XC 90 for a month and it is already in the shop. When I came out of the store my car wouldn't start due to a warning light that indicated the parking brake needed service. I called the Volvo dealer and they had me try putting my key in the slot on the console to see if that would work, nothing happened. I was told that the car would indeed have to be towed into the dealership. Also, since my phone was connected to the Volvo it wiped out my contacts due to a computer glitch in the car! Since the car was in park the tow truck driver had to call the dealership to see how to override the transmission so he could get the car to move. I watched as they dragged my car up the tow truck ramp. I traded in my 2010 XC90 with over 100,000 miles on it and the only time it was ever in the shop was for service. I would wait to purchase the 2016 until all the bugs have been worked out and people know how to work on them. This is so disappointing and frustrating.
