Volvo XC90

After just being outside of warranty both locks on the rear passenger doors have failed. We took it to a Volvo dealer who denied any responsibility to fix it under consumer guarantee laws and said we needed to contact Volvo support. Volvo support also denied any responsibility and wanted us to pay a further $1800 on top of $1105 we had already paid to diagnose the issue with the locks.
This has to be some of the worst customer service I have ever encountered and have reported the case to the ACCC. Not only is this car faulty it is now also...

Going to work, picking up kids, weekend runabout, must refresh oils in gear box if you you want it to last, has huge amount if torque as VVT with 32 valves, Yamaha designed this motor with Volvo, east West engine with 60 degree V, for ultimate protection if in a front end crash, heap if top end luxury like air con seats, heated seats and 2 front seats have full back massage

I purchased my XC90 in 2017 from Annlyn Motors in Penrith. I hadn't considered buying a Volvo previously but it was recommended to me. I use the car to and from work and taking the kids to weekend sport. The boot space is very generous which is great for holidays.

The 360 camera is the my most used feature, the screen is easy to navigate around and very user friendly.

My only small issue is that is it 'too safe'! It may think I'm about to collide with another car so it will break for me and this causes the seatbelts to tighten and give the kids a fright. This has only happened on a few occasions.
I would recommend this car, the service from Annlyn Motors is great too, they are reliable and a very friendly family business.

With 7 full sized seats that are used daily, towbar and roof rails, this car gets loaded for trips up and down the east coast during school holidays. We have owned this vehicle since 2017.

During the school period, it does the normal take and fetch and never misses a beat. With an annual service that only issue is a small ongoing oil leak, but isn’t major and has been repaired under warranty.

It is an absolute pleasure to drive, and the adaptive cruise control works a treat. It has pretty much everything you could want plus more.

Brand new Volvo XC 90, Bought from Volvo cars fivedock, 7000kms on clock had its tyre burst hitting a very normal looking pothole. Very sad to see this happen to Volvo who highlights its safety features.

This is the daily driver for the family and school run. I have owned a number of Volvo's from uni (s40, V60, etc) and just kept coming back to the XC90 once we needed 6 seats. I drove GLS and X7 and Q7 and the overall experience of the Volvo was just better. Great smooth ride and engine. Beautiful minimalistic Swedish design and interior layout - no pretence, because its a Volvo - we just love it and can't fault it.

Purchased my new xc90 before Christmas and the dealer Volvo cars Newcastle mislead me with false and inaccurate information about the car . When I contacted Volvo cats Australia they told me that they couldn’t help me.
Even after I submitted proof of the lies and inaccurate information .
Bad , bad service don’t buy a Volvo Brand New.

My 2016 Xc90 T6 has started to electronically malfunction within weeks of the warranty expiring. First the was the fuel system. The second the HUD. All through the warranty period there have been major issues but after 3 years theyre coming thick and fast.

I love the ride and interior but its become clear that the build quality isn't up to standard.

I doubt that I will buy Volvo again.

Thirsty around town (17ltr per 100km).. But aweome highway driving--same fuel economy as the 6 cyc model, but more torque and power, effortless overtaking, modify the muffler a little and it sounds terrific (cost me about $150 to do) awesome massage front seats, really great value when I purchasing second hand, van size room 7seater but car handling and wagon feel

My Volvo is full option XC90 which in my mind is the best car for my family. I got very upset with Volvo Australia when we realized we didn't have the Sim card Modem. I wasted my precious time reviewing how to activate my car internet, watching you tube videos and even driving to my local Volvo dealer-the poor sales agent struggled to find a port that does not exist.
I rang Volvo Sydney office only to be told, that option is not available in Australian Volvo cars. No one had the decency of telling customers at purchase. Very very disappointed. I feel cheated.

With its versatile 7 sear configuration, it can be a bus or in seconds back to a 5 seater with a ton of boot room. The motor is absolutely delish with power on demand. Overtake trucks and slow cars with the power of a rocket ship. The leather interior is easy wipe down and looks great all these years on.

The looks and style look great today. The rubber grips to the road like a race car. The ride is quite firm on the r-design. Some softer springs would have been nice. The transmission is THAT GOOD, can't even notice the gear changes.

Great machine. Well done to the Swedes!

Constantly at the dealership for repairs
1) Blown supercharger at ~25k km
2) Failed front suspension at ~75k km (card would suddenly veer left or right, so I'd appear to fishtail up a road)
3) Persistant low oil warning light - have taken the car 4 times to the dealer where they have drained the oil from the car, weighed it and sent the data to Volvo (?Australia or Sweden). Now apparently the sourec of the leak is from cracked pistons (which need replacing!!)

Whilst this is "all under warranty" it is extremely disruptive as I have to ta...

I love the XC90. It is so well thought through - every detail is exceptional. It hugs the road, it is quiet, it is safe and it is very comfortable. There is nothing I don't like. I love my heated seats, I love the 7 seats and the extra air con for the back two seats and the turbo. I love the leather seats that just wipe clean, the great rubber mats and the integrated booster seat.

I've owned this vehicle for 6 months. I did a LOT of research and exploring before I found the right car but it was worth it. I use the XC90 daily whether it's going to work, doing the shopping, taking animals to the vet or collecting a bale of straw (I'm not joking, I actually collect bales of straw!), I can do it all.
Okay so the vehicle is versatile but it's also extremely comfortable, easy to drive, sure-footed in any weather and comes with ample power for any situation. As the title says I love this vehicle.
In 6 months I've had no mecha...

1. Bad Designs
a) Can’t control the child lock of rear door separately: When I want to release the child lock for my wife to get off the car, my baby often open the door. This may cause serious traffic incident.
b) The map the navigation system is much worse than the google map.

2. Reproducible Problems
a) When I set the language to Chinese, it still speak English in navigation.
b) I have 2 wifi spot at home, both are WPA2/AES. The car can connect to one of them but can’t connect to the other one.
c) When the Auto-Hold is set, it will often be braked automatically when I am parking.
d) I can never drive the car by using only electricity over 30km, even if I drive it on highway.
