ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN, THE CAR MADE A KNOCKING NOISE AND DRIVER CONSOLE/DASH STOPPED WORKING. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, AND ALL GAUGES WENT TO "ZERO." I NO LONGER HAD TURN SIGNALS EITHER. I FEARED FOR OUR LIVES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH, AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH 2004 XC90S. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MILES ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE MY 2004 VOLVO XC 90 HAS A SEVERE "THUMP" IN THE FRONT END, WHICH IS THEN FOLLOWED BY A VERY BRIEF (SPLIT SECOND) INTERNAL (MEANING ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS, HI-FI, DOME LIGHTS, RADIO AIR CONDITION, OIL GAGE, FUEL GAGE CLOCK ) POWER FAILURE. WHILE TRYING TO PUSH THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AT FIRST I HIT SOMETHING ON THE HIGHWAY. A MINUTE OR TWO LATER THE "THUMP" WAS HARDER AND THE LIGHTS INTERNALLY COMPLETELY WENT OUT, HAZARD LIGHTS COULD NOT BE TURNED ON, BLINKERS COULD NOT BE SWITCHED ON, HI-FI WENT OUT, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT CUT ON OR THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. THERE WERE 3 MESSAGES ON THE DASH, THE YELLOW EXCLAMATION POINT DASHBOARD ICON/ALERT LIT UP, A SERVICE MESSAGE FLASHED REFERRING TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURE, THE SRS NEEDED TO BE CHECKED, AND CHECK ENGINE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THE CAR WAS OK TO DRIVE. FOUR DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN. SO AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THE VOLVO XC 90 AND THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SAME ISSUE IN NOVEMBER 2010 IN WHICH VOLVO IS FULLY AWARE OF AND "ACKNOWLEDGES A PROBLEM AFFECTING SOME SUBJECT VEHICLES INVOLVING WATER SEEPAGE INTO THE PLENUM BOX AREA IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN THIS OCCURS WATER MAY ENTER INTO THE INTERIOR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND TRACK ALONG THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE, THE DEVICE THAT CONTROLS MANY OF THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS INCLUDING WIPER OPERATION, LIGHTING, AND TRANSMISSION OPERATION. IF THE WATER REACHES THE CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL FAULTS MAY RESULT." THIS IS A $1200.00 REPAIR WHICH VOLVO SHOULD PAY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
THE SUNROOF DRAIN HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAN CAUSE WATER TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND/OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THIS CAN PRESENT SIMPLY AS WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS. BUT IT CAN ALSO PRESENT IN MORE SUBTLE WAYS WITH WATER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND BEING DRAWN THROUGHOUT THE CAR THROUGH COPPER WIRES ACTING AS CONDUIT (THIS EFFECTS SPEAKER QUALITY, RADIO FUNCTION, CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION ETC). MOST IMPORTANTLY, WATER CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT HOUSES THE DYNAMIC STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM PUTTING SAFETY AT RISK. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH OUR XC90 BUT SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING OTHER VOLVO MODELS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN BUT MOST CONCERNING BECAUSE OF ITS SUBTLE NATURE, SLOW PROGRESSION, AND PROHIBITIVE COSTS TO REPAIR. MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH COMPROMISED SYSTEMS AND ARE NOT YET AWARE, UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE CAUSE, OR UNABLE TO FUND THE REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, AIR BAGS
ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS, GUAGES, WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND AT IDLE. ENGINE POWER IS ALSO AFFECTED AS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. DEALER REPLACED DRIVER INFORMATION MODULE HOWEVER PROBLEM CONTINUES. DEALER UNABLE TO SOURCE THE PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING FOR THEM TO SOURCE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE AS THE ISSUE IS RANDOM AND TYPICAL GOES AWAY AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE SERVICE AIRBAG AND BRAKE FAILURE CODE REMAINS IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION MODULE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND AT NIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE I-95 WHEN MY WINDSHIELD TURNED ON BY ITSELF, THEN I GOT ABS SYSTEM FAILURE ALERT ADVISING ME TO PULL OVER SAFELY. NEXT THE DASHBOARD DIED, WINDOWS DIDN'T WORK AND THE POWER STEERING SEEMED TO STOP WORKING. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I GOT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AS LUCKILY WE WERE CLOSE TO OUR DESTINATION. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THE TECH. HE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP FINE AND THE WINDOWS WORKED FINE. HOWEVER, I DID HAVE A MESSAGE STATING I NOW HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS TRYING TO RECREATE WHAT I HAD DESCRIBED AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT'S HAPPENED NO FEWER THAN 8 TIMES SINCE THEN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO OTHER DEALERSHIPS. I'M ALWAYS CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THEY CAN NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S VERY SCARY AS THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY RHYME OR REASON WHEN THE ISSUE WILL OCCUR. SOMETIMES MY WINDSHIELD WIPER GOES ON IT'S OWN AND SOMETIMES MY STEREO FLICKS ON AND OFF; THEN I GET THE ABS SYSTEM FAILURE AND DASHBOARD GOES DEAD. VOLVO REALLY NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING IN 2011 AND 3 OTHER OCCASIONS VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. STARTER MOTOR WOULD NOT TURN AND SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE DEAD. BATTERY WAS TESTED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. PRIOR TO THESE EVENTS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEHAVED ERRATICALLY WITH RADIO SWITCHING ON AND OFF, DOOR LOCKS NOT OPERATING FROM REMOTE KEY FOB AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ERRATICALLY TURNING ON AND OFF. LIGHTS AND SYSTEMS SEEMINGLY BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. ON FIRST OCCASION SYSTEM WAS RESET AND MECHANIC CHANGED THE STARTER MOTOR. IN HINDSIGHT I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS BAD OR CAUSED OF THE PROBLEM. ON SECOND AND THIRD OCCASIONS AFTER TOWING AND REPEATED START ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE STARTED. NOTE THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING STARTS NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED (ENGINE STARTER WOULD TURN OR ENGAGE. NO CLICKING SOUND ASSOCIATED WITH BAD BATTERY), ON FOURTH OCCASION IN JULY 2012 VOLVO REPORTED THAT CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE WAS BAD AND MULTIPLE FAULT CODES WERE PRESENT. WHEN INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A SEEMINGLY A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2004/5 XC90 WITH THIS MODEL DUE TO LEAKING GROMMET THEY DENIED THIS AND STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE FOR THIS VEHICLE. MODULE WAS CHANGED AT COST OF $1,280. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE HICCUPED INTERMITTENTLY THREE TIMES AND THEN THE ELECTRONIC PANEL, WINDOWS, LOCKS, RADIO, A/C, SIGNALS, HAZARDS ALL SHUT DOWN AND A MESSAGE ABOUT THE BRAKES CAME ON. I WAS NEAR THE DEALERSHIP SO I STOPPED IN AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE THE SERVICE CONSULTANT SAID IT WOULD COST $85.00 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THEN HE WOULD GIVE ME A COST ESTIMATE OF THE REPAIR. THEY WERE BUSY AND HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T THINK THAT THEY COULD GET TO IT THAT DAY SO I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CHANCES AND DRIVE TO MY OWN MECHANIC. TO MY SURPRISE WHEN I STARTED MY CAR ALL POWER CAME BACK ON AND A MESSAGE TO GET MY AIR BAG CHECKED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY SERVICE STATION THE MECHANIC PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTICS (FREE) AND COULDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES SO HE RESET THE CAR COMPUTER. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL JULY 12 WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65MPH, MY WIFE WITH ME, WHEN WE GOT QUITE A SCARE WHEN THE CAR HICCUPED. WE LOST ALL POWER AGAIN BUT FORTUNATELY OUR HEADLIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS STAYED ON. WE DROVE SLOWLY AND ARRIVED SAFELY HOME. WHAT A SCARE! OUR MECHANIC PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTICS AGAIN, FOUND NOTHING AND RESET THE CAR COMPUTER AGAIN. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM (PROBABLY A COMPUTER ISSUE) AND TOLD ME I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER. CHECKING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE A PROBLEM WITH NO FIX. WE FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY DRIVING THE CAR AND GOING ANY LONG DISTANCE. HELP! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
DRIVING ON STREET AND ENGINE JUST DIED, NO REASON CAN THINK OF, NO ENGINE LIGHT OR MESSAGE IN TEXT. HAPPENED AGAIN 2-3 WEEKS (YESTERDAY) WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR STREET ACCIDENT, LOST ALL POWER, HAD TO STOP CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, PUT IN PARK AND STARTED AGAIN. NO PROBLEM AFTERWARDS AND DROVE HOME. TOOK TO VOLVO DEALER TODAY WHERE I REGULARLY GO AND OF COURSE NO REASON FOUND FOR TWO TIME FAILURE. LUCKILY NOT DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR MAY HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. QUITE SCARED NOW TO DRIVE - WHEN IS IT GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN? 111,500 MILES - HAS HAD NEW TRANSMISSION 2 YEARS AGO AND MAJOR SERVICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. SERVICE MANAGER HAS NO IDEA, RECOMMENDED THROTTLE CLEANING FOR $400+ DOLLARS AND NOT EVEN SURE THAT IS CLOSE TO PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A 40MPH BUSY ROAD, MY CD PLAYER DISPLAY BEGAN TO FLASH, THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER, MY SRS AIR BAG SERVICE URGENT MESSAGE CAME ON. EVERYTHING CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THEN ALL MY INSTRUMENTS (SPEEDOMETER, REV COUNTER, TURN SIGNALS) ALL DIED. LUCKY I WAS PASSING MY DEALER WHO I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND ABLE TO TURN INTO IT. AFTER BRAKING, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR AND HAD TO LET THE MOMENTUM CARRY ME INTO TO THE LOT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS NOW. I NOTICED ON THE FIRST DAY THAT SIMPLE THINGS WERE NOT QUITE RIGHT, INCLUDING MY MIRROR BUTTON ONLY WORKING HALF THE TIME AS WELL AS MY WINDOW CONTROL. ALSO MY WIPERS WOULD TURN ON RANDOMLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR IF YOU READ ANY VOLVO FORUMS. IT SEEMS IT HAS HAPPENED TO ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRONICS OF THIS CAR. PEOPLE'S SAFETY ARE GREAT RISK WITH THE FAILURE OF THESE SAID ITEM IN THE CAR. *TR
