Climate Control

this is the worse climate control I have ever seen in all the cars I owned for past 20 years. the temp will go up to the level that you feel no air inside and want to open the window. in a minute or two the cold air return to keep the temp down. I have not seen such temp up and down in the luxury cars line at all.

I love this car except the start/stop is absolutely annoying and it cannot be permanently disable by me, the owner. Even my passengers ask why it shakes each time we stop and go. Sure, I can disable by selecting Dynamic, but I do this 2-3 times a day. I’m told Volvo will not disable due to MPG and emission fears. Have your attorneys draft a “I agree” button to whatever makes your legal department happy. It is so much more noticeable then my Lexus Hybrid. I can live with the horrible voice activation and not so good GPS,and the rest of the car is perfect. Read all the comments out there and give your customer base the option. Let us disable start/stop. It’s our car, our right. The only other issue is the blind side warning light is not bright enough to catch your eye. Volvo made it an elongated strip as a design, but functionally it fails to do its job of alerting the drivers peripheral vision.

We bought a very gently used 2018 S90 T8 inscription with *every* option. It had 13k miles on it. We traded it in 4 months later at 19k. Here's why. Within 6k miles the following happened. Rear suspension collapsed once completely. Rear suspension was generating errors in the instrument cluster 2 other times. The infotainment system randomly just restarted at least a dozen times, once it happened twice within 15 minutes. I pressed the voice command button once on the steering wheel and the "ding" prompt to speak got stuck like a skipping CD - for MILES. I had to pull over and turn the car off completely. Single lines of pixels disappeared from the LCD instrument cluster twice. Now, all of these issues "reset" or disappeared once the car was completely shut off, let sit for about 2 minutes and then restart. It seems these are all likely attributed to poor software/firmware throughout the vehicle. I didn't want to be going back and forth with the dealership techs for months on this (having been a tech myself and knowing how difficult it is to replicate such issues) so we simply traded it in. Also, at about half volume on the (very nice sounding) stereo, there were all sorts of rattles throughout the car. Unacceptable for a flagship model of ANY make!

Servicing Surprise

I brought my 2018 Volvo S90 AWD in for regular servicing on 7/20/20. It has 17K miles on it, and I have had it since 11/'18. I was told it needed a complete brake job costing $665. I never had a car before that needed a brake job done with such low mileage. All of my driving is to local stores, and an adjacent county. My son, who was with Land Rover, called an Insurance Adjuster he knew about it the brake job. The Adjuster said "the brakes on that model do not last long at all" it's a Volvo problem". Also, for a luxury car going over the bumps in the road, you feel them, and due to the 4 wheel drive, some are teeth jarring! The tires should have been one size larger, and the shock absorption better. Also, the car sits much lower than what I was used to of getting in and out of my previous vehicles I'm only 5'9" and "drop in" and hold onto the car rail to get out comfortably. . It has all the latest tech& safety features, beautiful design, plush interior, and performs well on the highway, when passing power is needed. I have been buying Volvos since buying my first: 1985 450GL (brick on wheels), and I'm looking forward to turning this one back to the dealer in 2021 for another.
