Lemon law buyback with less than 5k miles!

Beautiful vehicle inside and out but buyer beware, this is NOT a reliable car. Owned less than 9 months, with less than 5k miles and has been in the shop for over 90 days for various issues (battery draining, Sensus screen not working, thermometer broken, the list goes on) Volvo is refunding purchase under FL lemon laws. Advise to stay away!

I own a brand new 2016 XC 90 T8 Hybrid. As stated in many reviews, it is an awesome, awesome car!!! It is a BEAST!!!!! Beautiful exterior styling, and very smartly designed interior. The T8 Hybrid is a perfect combination of Eco mode (electric) for short trips, and power mode (gas) for longer trips (very fuel efficient engine). Power is stunning ( not quite Tesla, but at a better price point), for a 4 cylinder (who would have thought a 4 cylinder and electric motor could punch out almost 400 HP). Add the safety components, and this is almost the perfect car for today's market. Great job Volvo. You have hit the SUV "sweet spot". The perfect combination of form and function. I am glad to say I am one of the first owners of this great vehicle. May Volvo find much success and thrive in the future. The XC90 (especially the hybrid T8) is a thoroughbred. Still great after 7 months of use!!!!!

had to replace the entire motor on a 2016 SC 90. Although it had 60,000 miles it was perfectly maintained. Dealers response was " should not have happened but it did" Volvo covered the cost of the parts but it still cost us $63,00 in labor. We told dealership if they stuck by their product, we would buy a new Volvo and be a customer for life. They told us they were sorry but couldn't absorb the labor cost. it is the last time we buy a Volvo. we had 2 Toyotas that had no major problems for over 100,000 miles. A norot should not have to be replaced in a high end luxury SUV with only 60,000 miles. Going to back to reliable Toyotas!

As a biomechanics and human-machine system engineering expert, I applaud Volvo for this new XC90. We were ready to buy a GL450, and the XC90 caught our attention and the attention was never returned! I can appreciate the safety and injury-protection features better than a lay person. I also understand it's not the more the merrier in terms of gadgets and add-ons. Volvo did this the right way. Now, when I am driving this XC90 with my family members in it in a snowy slippery day, I feel much better.

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.
