We had issue after issue with this vehicle. Main issues were the faulty control panel and the brakes. The vehicle would auto brake in the middle of the freeway for no reason almost causing multiple accidents. Also we had the break pads changed 5 different times for constant squeaking. Eventually Volvo Corporate bought the vehicle back as we filed a lemon law complaint.

After owning a Volvo previously, we bought a plug-in hybrid XC90 in 2016. The car is a joy to drive - the interior is an oasis of quiet refinement. We read reviews before road testing, so were anxious to try this SUV with and without the air suspension. I must say, the ride quality with the air suspension is fantastic. We watched Youtube crash videos of the new XC90 and its competitors and came away convinced of Volvo's class-leading safety. This XC90 is packed with technology to improve safety and creature comforts. After almost eight years of ownership and 44,000 miles, our positive feelings about our XC90 T8 are undiminished. It has been completely reliable (just several software glitches in our first three months of ownership) over our time with the car. The car's interior shows very little wear, despite regularly carrying our three very large Bernese Mountain Dogs. The seats have been supremely comfortable, and we routinely use the steering wheel and seat heaters. We would only replace it with an all-electric Volvo EX90 when it is available later this year.

I really want to love my 2016 XC90 momentum. A great looking car. I have 25,000 miles on the vehicle in less than 1 year of ownership. We have been in the shop for a total of 2 weeks to fix Sensus which boots and reboots. Navigation that stops. Loud clicking noises every time you turn, stop and go. Fealership replaced wheel bearings but still have the clicking issue and now the ride is horrible even after new tires etc.. as the vehicle shakes, rattles and rolls. I just took a very painful 8 hour family trip to Disney and now I am looking for my next vehicle. Pros. Good gas mileage, great interior layout with useable 3rd row seat. Love Sensus when it works. If the clicking could stop and the vehicle rode smooth like it did when first purchased then I would love it.
