Nice Car - Couple concerns

2010 Volvo XC90 V8 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl 6A)

I've had the car about 8 months. I replaced a minivan w/very squeaky brakes. I was disappointed that within a couple months the brakes were already squeaking in this car. I've had it in the shop a couple of times but they have not been able to fix it. The ride is a little stiff as has been mentioned. The V8 is great with a lot of power. I got the nav package and this system is pretty poor. The rt traf is helpful but this system can't find big time retail stores without typing in an exact address. I wouldn't rec buying this nav system. I too have experienced the buzzzz in the speakers which hasn't been fixed. Does anyone know what this is? Overall a good/fun/safe car to drive around

Overall this was great car. I bought this car a smart single mom/soccer mom car. We traveled and lived in this car everyday. We have rear entertainment, third row seating, heated front row seats and a bench middle seat that all folded flat for carrying snowboards, bikes, camping gear. My least favorite was the middle and third row seats. The middle seats sat STRAIGHT up which is not a normal position and there was no back reclining. Lots of compartments for storage of everything you could think. Now resale, parts and value are very poor. This gentlemen was texting and driving and ran into the Volvo while I was at a complete stop. Insurance is already saying the vehicle will probably be a total loss due to age of vehicle and all of our son and I's Volvo Road living miliage. I do not look forward to the worst case scenario of this vehicle accident. Black Book value for the volvo is around $3-$5 thousand. We all know I will be loosing, becuase find a used car with all that I had within the Volvo for $3-$5 thousand.

After an exhaustive look at a range of cars from the 4 Runner to the Range Rover Sport we settled on the XC90 and I think we got what we expected. An ok vehicle that has an appealing look but it's not flashy, and the interior is nice but creature comfort is lacking. What sold us was the relatively decent price for the number of features and the 5 yrs of free maintenance. We also like the spacious interior and the 3rd row seats are nice to have if needed and space is not compromised, although the 2nd row is a little tighter than some competitors. I'm 6' but could still sit there comfortably. This SUV will be a fill in for a few yrs until something in this $ range gets us excited.

Mold Smell in A/C system & Low Oil Level Warning

I bought my CX90 New and have owned it for over 2 years. My Volvo XC90 has an annoying issue. When I turn on the A/C, for the first 30 seconds, bad mold smell comes, and then I don't smell it. Reported to the dealer on 4 different occassions. They supposedly did everything ehey could, but the problem still persists. Recently, at 58000 miles, suddenly "Low Oil Level" sign came up. When I cheked the dipstick it was below minimum. Dealer supposedly checked it and found no oil leaks and says that they must not have put enough during the previous oil change, and that Volvo does eat some oil between service. I will have to monitor the oil level to see if there is a problem.

The best family vehicle ever owned

We bought this 2010 Volvo XC90 AWD in Nov of 2009. The story started with having two dealerships competing to provide me with the best price. We were not putting much miles on the family vehicle so, we leased it. Very little down, a 5 year lease, 3year maintenance, 5 year bumper to bumper warranty at $495/month. We bought it after the lease was up ~$10K. Over the next 3 years normal maintenance and extremely low loan payments. From year 8-13 front struts and wheel bearings. We finally traded her in at 13years 3 months with 180k miles for $2700 for a new Toyota Tacoma. A/C, sunroof, and rear hatch hydraulic arms needed work/replacement. The best auto I owned in my 30+ years of driving. Curious to see if the latest generation of XC90 will be as worthy as this one.
