Love Volvo, but has AC, screen, shut off issues!

Beautifully designed 2017 XC 90, has quite a lot of issues with A/C, screen, and shutting off for the price. I am driving my car for a little over 2 years. Has 45k miles. • During the hot months, AC will make random super loud noise, but air will stop blowing. It is not happening all the time, and every time I come to the dealership, the issue “disappears” until next time. Volvo was unable to find the reason so far, which makes me nervous since my factory warranty experia at 50k. • The screen becomes extremely hot CONSTANTLY! It can reset itself several times , until I turn it off , while I am driving. • the car literally shuts off by itself, while I wait on red light! It wont start for about 5-10 minutes. It happened few times, and one time it shut off on rail road intersection! Thanks God there was no train at that time! These are Major issues that need to be addressed asap. I cannot use my car for long trips during the summer ( we have 5 children), and it is dangerous when it shutts off on the middle of the road!

Reliable, fun, comfortable and open views

This car has great leg room and ample height for big and tall guys. The visibility from all windows is wonderful. I like the reliability of my car. It’s fun to drive and comfortable. The stereo system is terrific!

Orthopaedically dangerous headrests but beautiful!

Super attractive SUV ! BUT , the headrests jam one's neck so far forward, it caused us neck pain, and the dealer ignored us . Any MD or Chiropractor would look at this seat profile and lament it . XC90 performs so well ! It is so lush so plush so atractive. But the neck pain is a deal breaker . Also just to change the station or adjust the fan/AC/heat is a 4 step process on a screen = major distracted driving !! Love 90% of this vehicle ; but the above is a deal breaker . Hope it improves for future or will never buy one again.

Like No Other Vehicle On The Road

Semiautonomous PilotAssist cruise control, Apple CarPlay, Head Up Display (HUD), and loads of safety technology are the features that make the Volvo XC90 stand apart from the crowd.

Great car

I drove this car for a day, was really comfortable, easy to drive, super cockpit and great ride quality. The new modern look makes it a car you really feel proud to drive. Well done Volvo

Happy with the car overall.

This vehicle had everything we were searching for in the price range we desired. Since we were still under warranty, we had a problem with the sliding of the second row fixed. All is well and we are enjoying the excellent performance of the car.

Learning Curve

The first few months the car was at the dealer. Computer issues and the service had no idea how to fix. Car is fine now

Fast & Furious Rocket

I want one. Overpriced in full featured trim. I still would pay more though if I needed one. 0 to 120 very quickly, I did it. Salesman peed his pants! Dealer would kill me if I went back.

Great vehicle

This is a great vehicle and very comfortable. It is great for family trips; and, there is extra leg room and plenty of charger options.
