Vibration problem

At about 16k miles, starting having a very noticeable vibration in passenger seat and dashboard. Dealer said tires had to be balanced and aligned. $300 later it did not resolve the issue. Started reading on forums of other Volvo owners having the exact same problems. Almost all of them said the dealer said it was the tires. IT’S NOT THE TIRES. I printed out a technical journal for this problem and they did have the car for several days and did all the recommended “fixes” - did not solve it. Regional field rep was called in. He admitted that he felt the vibration. Said he had it on his Volvo and that getting Michelin tires seemed to help. Again, IT’S NOT THE TIRES. Am currently trying to get out of my lease but am not hopeful. I loved the car until this happened but I would never get another Volvo.

Quick break down of model and features. T6 Momentum Denim Blue Charcoal interior-- Convenience package, Vision Package, Advanced package, Navigation 12.3, heated seats/steering wheel, & 20 in wheels. Looks-- this suv is one of the best looking on the market, the body lines, wheels, thor hammer DRL's, aggressive front fascia, and LED taillights. Sick. Performance--- This SUV pulls. Select the Dynamic mode and this thing is out. Really tunes motor to higher revs. I would say this is more for highway driving. really can't use mode for city driving it's to fast. I stay in comfort mode for that and that' the default setting any way. Steering and handling are very good no sports car but can handle it's own. Interior--- is very comfortable and cleanly designed.. Only issues I have like others do is the HVAC controls are thru touch screen. I love the IPAD feel but still would like knobs and buttons. THE biggest issue is the start and stop tech, my wife and I HATE IT. it shuts suv off to fast... you have to manually shut it off everytime you get in car and that SUCKS. Other than that I love it! I bought it for the way it feels drives and safety. autopilot is crazy, lane keep , and heads up display are awesome. Go test drive 1!

Nothing better than driving a new car every few years. I have been leasing for the past 20 or so years and the new Volvo is the one that I will buy after this lease is up. My choice was the T5 Inscription and I am not disappointed with this suv.
Really want to like this car but cannot

Bought this car almost 1 yr ago and I have had it back in the shop 3 times already for repairs. The car is driven daily already has close to 13500 miles so I have definitely broken it in and spent lots of time in this vehicle. I have to admit this car was not my first choice. I wanted a Honda CRV. I traded a 2004 Honda CRV with over 160K miles for this suv. I never had any issues with that car or my Honda before that one. One major complaint is the lack of an owner's manual. The manual is in the car's infotainment system or you have to download it to a phone or other device. This is really inconvenient, especially when experiencing a problem. Twice I experienced turn signal and windshield wiper malfunctions. Warnings were popping up in the center console and the infotainment system (and don't get me started on how cumbersome that is to operate). Neither functions operated so makes vehicle unable to be operated in any precipitation. Very scary to drive when you have 3 children in the car and losing functions. Also received a battery failure warning on the first occasion. 1st time back to the dealership they had to wipe the computer clean and download all the software again. Took hrs. Was promised car fixed. 2nd time (yesterday) they replaced the turn signal and wiper module which was defective. Took hrs. Was promised was fixed. We shall see. It is sad when you carry a towel in the car to wipe mist, etc off you windshield. The dealer showed me pages of error codes that were downloaded from the car from malfunctions. I think there is another problem with the computer because now it is taking a long time to load the instrument panel. Also seem to be getting strange images showing up on screen. Hard to describe. The nav updates constantly and that was also fixed yesterday by re-downloading the software. Dealer said it was stuck in a downloading loop. The nav is terrible, we call it the crazy gps because it sends us all over the place. I hook up the android auto and use google gps instead. 12V power outlet in front center console already blew a fuse. Never had that happen in any vehicle I have ever owned. Door trim on driver's side passenger door replaced due to manufacturing defect. I have begun taking pictures and videos of malfunction warnings and irregularities have been experiencing. So I have documentation of all issues. So far everything covered under warranty but worried about future. Had high hopes and expectations for this suv but I already want to get rid of the vehicle.

Great car. Definitely Volvo has earned his position as luxury brand. I did test drive Audi Q5, MB GLC and BMW X3. I leaned towards the Volvo, for excellent design exterior and interior, although I have to admit it was a difficult choice, except for the MB GLC which was ruled out right away due to its outdated features and poor exterior design. The XC 60 is extremelly comfortable to drive, with the Inscription trim it looks awesome, modern and offering a sense of peace and quiet inside. I will focus my review on things that should be better (hence my 4 star rate instead of 5). Some of the materials in the lower part of the dashboard, doors and central console should be of better quality for a $ 54K vehicle. Performance is its weakest part, I got the T6 because compared to Audi Q5 or BMW X3 acceleration and quick shifting was subpar on the T5, with the T6 it gets better (in dynamic mode) but still it is not an Audi, so if you are looking for spirited performance go with the Q5 or the X3. Fuel consumption is poor, and definitely below what Volvo advertises. Noisy during acceleration, once you cruise it is quiet. On the Inscription trim premium sound should be standard (as it is in the Q5), so I decided to go with the regular audio system (definitely not great sound. Go with the Bowers & Wilkins premium sound if you can afford it. It is worthy). Suspension is on the harsh side. Don't get me wrong, overall is a fantastic car, interior feeling is luxurious and safety features and infotainment is last generation. Exterior and interior design is outstanding (Audi or BMW are not closer. Their interiors are boring ).
