Vehicle has nothing but issues, **audio went out - this means everything navi voice, turn signal notice, locking notice, music, bluetooth EVERYTHING. ------------- audio module replaced ---------- ** now insane amount of squeaks and rattles at all speeds -------- ** outlet for phone charging, etc NEVER WORKS, numerous replacement of $2 part ------- ** upgrade charge to autopilot 2 continually fails not allowing usage of the actual system, or even just adaptive cruise bottom line... do not buy the car. $60,000 vehicle cannot hold a candle to other vehicles... great concept just not there yet.

Buyer Beware!

I have had this car since April 2016. It is a beautiful car with a comfortable interior and nice ride. That's where it ends. Since day 1, the voice navigation system has not worked. The back-up camera doesn't always come on when you put the car in reverse. The car stopped accelerating while I was driving and had to be towed to the dealership. The foot-activated tailgate sensor doesn't work. The climate control goes from barely there to hurricane force. The touch screen has gone blank on multiple occasions. The gas gauge doesn't provide an accurate reading of miles left in the tank. I actually ran out of gas - I've been driving 30+ years and have never run out of gas - even as a poor teenager! On multiple occasions the accident avoidance feature engaged - when there wasn't a car around me. The a/c stopped working. It has been in and out of the dealership multiple times - each time with the hope that the latest software update would solve the problems. This last fix was supposed to solve the navigation issue. The technician sat in the car with me and we tried to use the navigation and it switched me to the Music. That was the last straw. I am pushing the dealership to get me out of my lease - I am not interested in another Volvo - I just want out of this unsafe, unreliable vehicle.

I have owned this car for not yet 4 years and planned to keep it for 10 based on Volvo's "quality". We had to have the brake system replaced in the first year (thankfully covered by warranty), but now have replaced the rear A/C condenser, engine mounts and now the from A/C condenser needs to be replaced about a week after the rear for $3200? What else is next? Poor quality and Volvo corporate could care less.

Volvo's attention to detail is everywhere. Safety features and craftsmanship are apparent throughout the vehicle. Comfort and features make it a pleasure to drive..

Mostly love the car, owned it for about 3 weeks now. Pro - Safety systems, looks, comfort, sufficient power. Cons - lack of console storage space, small cupholders, not enough USB ports, interior noise when driving, B&W audio system not as good as advertised, touch screen is distracting if you need to change settings while driving.
