ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH, EXPERIENCED TEMPORARILY LOSS OF POWER, THE IP DISPLAYS AND AN ABNORMAL 'JERKING' IN THE TRANSMISSION/DRIVETRAIN. THE SRS AIRBAG AND BRAKE FAILURE ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED IN THE IP ERROR DISPLAY. THE WIPERS MOMENTARILY CAME ON. LIGHTS DIMMED. POWER FAILURE WAS ONLY FOR A SPLIT-SECOND (AT 60MPH) BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL. AFTER NORMAL POWER WAS RESTORED, ERROR MESSAGES CONTINUED TO BE SHOWN IN THE IP ERROR DISPLAY. THE BRAKE FAILURE MESSAGE INSTRUCTED ME TO PULL OVER AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. UPON BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP AND TURNING OFF IGNITION, I HEARD EXCESSIVE ELECTRICAL CLICKING UNDER THE DASH (LIKE RELAYS CLICKING). ALL IP DISPLAYS WERE NON-RESPONSIVE (DARK). I LOCKED THE CAR (ALARM ARMED) AND LATER RETURNED WITH A TOW-TRUCK. UPON RETURN TO THE CAR, I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK IT OR DISARM THE ALARM. CAR WAS UNRESPONSIVE. ALARM WAS ARMED (UNABLE TO BE DISARMED) AND THE ENGINE BYPASS FEATURE OF THE ALARM PREVENTED ME FROM STARTING THE CAR. COULD ONLY GAIN ENTRY INTO THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WITH PHYSICAL KEY. CAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND LOADED ONTO A FLATBED TRUCK FOR TOW BACK TO VOLVO DEALERSHIP. TEMPERATURE AT TIME OF FAILURE WAS 110F. *TR

LAST YEAR(2013) I NOTICED WHEN IT RAIN, MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR WILL BE OCCASIONALLY DAMPED. IT WAS RANDOM AND DIDN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME IT RAINED, SO I BLEW IT OFF. AS SPRING OF 2014 APPROACHES & THE RAIN BECOMES MORE FREQUENT IN ILLINOIS, MY DRIVER FLOOR BECOMES MORE & MORE WET, NOT DAMPED BUT SOAKING WET. PUDDLE OF WATER THAT IS. IM NOT SURE WHAT IT IS, BUT AS I RESEARCH THE PROBLEM I FIND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE ISSUE BEING A SUNROOF DRAIN ISSUE. MY ISSUE IS INCREASING & IF SOMEONE CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, BECAUSE MY CARPET IS RUINED & SMELLY. *TR

ENGINE
GOOD MORNING, I PURCHASE A 2005 VOLVO XC90 FROM DRIVE TIME ON MARCH 29, 2013, PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IT WAS MY DREAM AUTOMOBILE, ON APRIL 17, 2013 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS LATE FOR WORK BECAUSE I WENT TO DRIVE TIME TO FIND OUT WHERE TO TAKE IT SINCE I DID PURCHASE THE DRIVE CARE PACKAGE. I CALLED THE CLAIM DEPARTMENT AND BECAUSE OF MILES I TRAVEL DAILY THE WARRANTY MILEAGE HAD EXPIRE, WHICH WAS CONFUSING BECAUSE ON THE SALE SLIP ON THE CAR IT STATED 30 DAY WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT A VOLVO DEALER FOR SERVICE, I TOOK IT TO MOOERS VOLVO IN RICHMOND, VA AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATE THERE WERE MISFIRE IN THE SPARK PLUGS ($500) LATER, THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PLUGS AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND MY DRIVE CARE PACKAGE DIDN'T COVER MAINTENANCE. FOUR DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON, INDICATING THE SAME PROBLEM (MISFIRE IN PLUGS 6 &8) AGAIN MISSING TIME FROM WORK TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I DON''T WANT TO BE BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME THEY CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER AND PUT A GAS TREATMENT IN MY CAR ($154) LATER, STATING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO W/FUEL TANK. I HAVE SPENT A LITTLE OVER $1000, IN REPAIRS AND CAR RENTAL AND MY CAR WAS TWO MONTHS OLD AT THAT TIME. I GOT MY CAR SERVICED ON TIME AND STILL MY CHECK ENGINE IS STILL ON.I WENT TO A SHOP RECENTLY BECAUSE OF THE (A YEAR LATER) CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THEY SUGGEST I LOOK UP THE RECALL SAFETY BECAUSE NOW ONE SIDE B1 HAS A MISFIRE READING. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I TRAVEL AN HOUR EACH WAY TO WORK AND WOULD HATE FOR SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO HAPPEN. I'M HOPING YOU WOULD GUIDE ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED OR WHO I NEED TO DIRECT MY CONCERNS TO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AROUND 50 MPH THE XC90 SKIPPED AND TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF ALL ELECTIONS. THOUGHT IT WAS A GLITCH SO CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD MORE CAREFULLY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE ELECTRONICS NEVER CAME BACK ON. I COULDN'T MAKE IT UP A SMALL HILL ON THE ROAD TO GET SAFELY HOME. MY TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T PULL. THE SPEED GAUGE AND RPMS WERE COMPLETELY UNWORKING. WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN AIR HAD WENT OUT. POWER STEERING TEMPORARILY WENT OUT. MADE IT HOME FINALLY AND NOTHING SEEMS WRONG NOW BUT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN A WREAK OR STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY BABIES. VOLVO NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
10/30/2013...FAILED IGNITION LOCK SWITCH AT 31769 MILES, IN GARAGE, NO WARNING RESULTING IN HAVING TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, PART INVESTIGATED ORDERED AND ULTIMATELY REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER 600$ AS WELL AS THE COST OF A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR A WEEK BECAUSE PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED AND SHIPPED TO DEALER. ADDITIONAL RENTAL COST AT JUST OVER 200$. FOLLOWED BY STARTER SWITCH BEHIND THE IGNITION LOCK SWITCH FAILING ON 4/08/2014 DIAGNOSED AT DEALERSHIP, PART NEEDING TO BE ORDERED AND THEN INSTALLED 4/22/2014. A COST OF 165$, MILEAGE AT THIS REPLACEMENT WAS 34332. AFTER WHICH I CONTACTED THE VOLVO CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND SENT ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE/ PART. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM. THEY ALSO SAID THAT ON A VEHICLE THAT AGE AN MILEAGE I SHOULD EXPECT SOME MAINTENANCE ISSUES. I KEEP MY VEHICLE MAINTAINED AND CHECKED ON A REGULAR BASIS. HAVING SPOKEN TO THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND AN VEHICLE MECHANIC THAT HAS 2 VOLVOS THEY BOTH SAID THEY HAVE PERSONALLY HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION LOCK SWITCH, ONCE WHEN DRIVING. VOLVO OFFERED TO REIMBURSE ME UP TO 30% OF COST OF PART/S UP TO 200$. I NEEDED TO SEND IN DOCUMENTATION AND COPIES OF WORK COMPLETED. MY CONCERN IS THAT IN LIGHT OF THE IGNITION ISSUES WITH GM THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR 5 YEARS...IS THIS THE SAME THING JUST NOT IDENTIFIED AS OF YET AND IF THE VOLVO CORPORATION DOES REIMBURSE A PORTION OF MY OUTPUT TO FIX THE IGNITION CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL LEAD THEM TO NOT ALLOW ANY RIGHTS TO OWNERS IF THIS BECOMES A RECALL/ LEGAL ISSUE? *TR

ENGINE
2005 VOLVO XC90. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE BREAKDOWN. *SMD AN INITIAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A DECLARED DESIGN FLAW BY VOLVO IN THEIR 2005 MODELS. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONSUMER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS AND DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE BREAK DOWN WAS IN FACT A DESIGN FLAW. CORPORATE VOLVO STATED THE ISSUE WAS NOT PROBLEMATIC ENOUGH FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL, AS PROBLEMS WERE EVALUATED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. VOLVO INFORMED THE DEALER TO RE-BUILD THE ENGINE, INSTEAD OF REPLACING IT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, OUR VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS. THIS OCCURRED AFTER IT WAS SERVICED AND BATTERY REPLACED A WEEK PRIOR. AAA WAS UNABLE TO JUMP START IT AS WELL, AND VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. ACCORDING TO THE TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS, THE CENTRAL ELECTRONICS MODULE IS THE CULPRIT, AND NEEDED REPLACING. ACROSS MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS, VOLVO OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE CEM, OFTEN PLACING DRIVERS AND OCCUPANTS IN DANGER AS THEY EXPERIENCED COMPLETE ELECTRICAL OUTAGE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE WERE FORTUNATELY THAT OUR VEHICLE JUST DID NOT RESTART, INSTEAD OF SHUTTING DOWN IN TRAFFIC AT 65 MPH. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, AND VOLVO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FAULTY UNITS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED THIS 2005 VOLVO XC90 USED IN OCTOBER 2011 AND SINCE THAT TIME HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP MODULE 3 TIMES. THE LEFT HEADLIGHTS WOULD SOMETIMES WORK AND OTHER TIMES NOT. EACH TIME WE TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE HEADLAMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS A $460 PART, ONE THAT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF FAILURE. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT, FOR FEAR THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THE MODULE FAILED ONCE, OR MAYBE EVEN TWICE, BUT THREE TIMES IN ONLY 2.5 YEARS AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH OTHER VOLVO OWNERS AS WELL, YET VOLVO HAS NOT TAKEN STEPS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ONE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH VOLVO'S LACK OF ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. CHECKING ONLINE, I SEE THAT MANY OTHER VOLVO XC90 OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. ANY ASSISTANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I ENTERED THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT. IT WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM ITS HOUSING (INSIDE THE PANEL ABOVE MY LEFT SHOULDER). IT MADE A STRONG CLICKING NOISE, AS IF IT HAD LOCKED UP. I MADE NUMEROUS OTHER ATTEMPTS TO PUT ON MY SEAT BELT, WITH THE ENGINE TURNED ON, TURNED OFF, CAR IN PARK, CAR IN DRIVE, CAR MOVING. NO CHANGE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED VOLVO, THEY TOLD ME THAT SEATBELTS WERE ONLY COVERED UNDER A 5 YEAR WARRANTY. I WOULD EXPECT SEATBELTS TO HAVE MANDATORY LIFETIME WARRANTIES, REQUIRED BY LAW. I AM SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. *TR
