  2016 XC 90 - 2016 Volvo XC90
  By Ro Ta - February 18 - 2:08 am

  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! Its a brand new car!

  Buyer Beware! - 2016 Volvo XC90
  By LHawk - February 4 - 11:34 am

  I have had this car since April 2016. It is a beautiful car with a comfortable interior and nice ride. Thats where it ends. Since day 1, the voice navigation system has not worked. The back-up camera doesnt 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 doesnt work. The climate control goes from barely there to hurricane force. The touch screen has gone blank on multiple occasions. The gas gauge doesnt provide an accurate reading of miles left in the tank. I actually ran out of gas - Ive 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 wasnt 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.

  Volvos Best Effort in Years - 2016 Volvo XC90
  By Bill - February 3 - 4:12 am

  First of all, Im slightly confused by some of the reviews here. Im not even sure if some of these people own an XC90 or have even been for a test drive. That said, I have owned 5 new Volvos in 12 years and the new XC90 is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessors. Stylish, comfortable, roomy, user friendly and full of amazing tech, its a great addition to the lineup and it truly is something special. Seeing other XC90s out on the road is a joy...those Thors Hammer LED headlights are really something! Plus, in true Volvo fashion, I feel incredibly safe behind the wheel. Well done Volvo!

  Only one engine option? - 2016 Volvo XC90
  By tayste8 - January 9 - 12:29 am

  I currently own a 2006 Volvo XC90 V8 and Im in the market for a new SUV. My Volvo dealer gave me a loaner 2016 XC90 Inscription to drive for the day. I was impressed with the comfortable seating, cabin layout and conservative exterior design. I WAS SOLD.....until I actually drove it. The 4 cyl engine is the only option and right away I noticed the lack of performance off the line, on hills and especially passing at low speeds. Mid range performance is decent and there were moments when I felt it all come together but I couldnt get past the under sized engine.

  I hate myself for trading my Mercedes GL450 - 2016 Volvo XC90
  By Dr. EA - January 5 - 5:40 am

  I thought Im buying a better car! I traded my confi and very reliable GL450 2010 for this piece of junk! Its definitely not worth $60K. The electronics are terrible, the panel control needs to be reprogrammed to make it user friendly, 9 month later I still struggle to maneuver it and Im techy savvy! The A/C is not reliable goes from silent to wind tunnel and we can barely hear each other in the car. This past summer the entire car blacked out during a trip on the highway, it was 108F outside and the near exit was 8 miles away...we melted, let alone the entire car was out power (no lights, radio, A/C etc.), only the engine was running! This happened 3 times so far! The panel also has tons of buggs and crashes very frequently. The brakes squeak! I took it to the dealer who are very helpful but was told the rotors are not available and are on back-order! several recalls so far cant count them!! I have a parking aid, the sensor doesnt work 9 out of 10!! I paid for it but dont use it!! The app has a starter that 9out 10 doesnt work and never starts the car!! totally unreliable!! Last thing, the trunk controls buttons (front and back) are extremely slow responders (it takes sometimes 3-5 seconds before they respond, which led to an accident, backed the car while the trunk was open thinking it was closed!! AVOID THIS CAR, until they fix it!!
