Used 2016 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A) Consumer Reviews
Finger Nail Across the Blackboard!
before i bought this car, i did a lot of research, and test drove every car in its class. on paper this car has the most standard feature among all of the same vehicle in its class for the price hands down. but soon after i got the car, i start hearing break noises...... now i am driving a loaner car for the fourth time! every time so far has been with the same issue.... noisy breaks. perhaps this problem isn't as serious as those electronic failure or engine and transmission issues, but for a new car that i have driven for less than half a year(it has literally been at the dealer ship for about 28 days for repair total i kid you not! the previous time i sent it in for breaks and they fried the turn signal module while doing software update, i waited over 3 weeks for that one time since the parts come from abroad). if you ever drive on the freeway and hear loud squeaky breaks and try to look for that semi but then realize that it was you then you would know how it feels. i have told Volvo and the dealership that this will the last time i am fixing this issue. if they still cannot fix it i would need to end the lease. Volvo and the dealership have been nice so far, the reason i didn't say helpful because my issue has not been fixed. my suggestion for those of you considering this car is wait until the 2018 model, heck i don't think they have fix the break issue for the 2017s. i also wish that those of you that have gotten the vehicle do not experience what i have experienced, it is beyond annoying and frustrating.

Not a reliable VOLVO
Updated review: the car wat sent to dealer many times because the start/stop function did not work. It has not been fixed. Every time the dealer charged up the battery and it worked for a day or two. Volvo simply just looked at the check code and concluded there was nothing wrong. After many frustrations, I just gave up as I do not particularly like the start/stop feature. Bought the car because of Volvo's safety and reliability reputation. Nice looking car and drives great. But still I would say Do Not Buy. Owned XC90 for about 9 months. It went to shop for three times due to unknown battery draining issues commonly seen by many XC90 owners. So far the issue seems have been fixed but I heard many other owners still have the problem. Stop/start almost never worked. Dealer said nothing can be found regarding to this. Received three safety recalls on the car in 6 months. All small but annoying issues. Volvo made a bold redesign on XC90 but this one failed.

2016 XC 90
This car is very nice while it works. However there are way to many issues with it. Software issues are very common. I basically had to take it to the shop for two months straight. The most frustrating experience was just having the car flat out not start with plashing park (brake service warnings). This has happened like 4 times in 6 months. Not only did this happen on my current Volvo XC 90, I had the same exact 2016 prior to that, in which Volvo ended up buying back. Replaced that car, but the other day I was at the grocery store and boom Same message, car will not start and is currently needing to be towed back to the dealer. I would stay away from Volvo. While the car is super nice, when it works, it is just way to un reliable and has way to many issues. I mean, come on! It's a brand new car!
Nothing like an Electrical Fire to Ruin your Day
The dealer while very nice has no clue on how to fix these cars nor for that matter Volvo. We had been having issues where the onboard screens would blank out when nav in use vehicle would do it twice and then reload while vehicle was in use. This was an issue as your speedometer goes out and we were planning on taking it when it happened on a short trip but this time we smelled an odor then smoke came bellowing out of the center console. We turned off the unit and contacted the nearest dealership. The car has been there two weeks, contacted Volvo North America only to be told they could not find anything but they thought it was due to software needing to be updated. Updates were made and when dealer went to move car, battery was dead. We were told they checked it out with meters and again felt it was a software issue. Car was checked out and I was told the car was repaired. I drove 100 miles to pick the car up only to get in and there was an error indicating the Battery Charge was low after being assured that despite my concerns that it had to be more than a software issue. The car is still at the dealership as I was not willing to have them jump it and attempt to drive it home until they could get with Volvo North America. I would hold off purchasing as no one seems to know how to fix it. Very disappointed

This SUV is the next step in the future of driving
At least get the Convenience and Momentum Plus packages with this Luxury vehicle.The vehicle is built on proven technology. I realized that a lot of the gadgets and feature were already in some of the other Volvos, but the XC90 just take them to higher level. The XC90 drives sweet, I just have to get use to the engine turning off at every dead stop, and restarting when the brakes are released. The inside is somewhat captivating, and there is more than enough room for everyone. Power outlets placed in strategic areas around the vehicle, and air vents are right in your face. Update - After six months of driving the vehicle, some of the issues I have had has been software related. We had to visit the dealership at least five times during that period to get software issues fixed, some of these issues were serious, while others were not so serious. Also the pickup/acceleration is slow in every drive mode except "dynamic", then it kicks assets.
