Excessive oil consumption, issues with spark plugs misfiring after replacing, start/stop not working even after it was repaired, electrical issues and poor voice recognition system. Vehicle has all routine maintenance and it still isn’t up to standard. This particular model has had serious recalls and too many problems that the mechanics can’t fix. I’ve owned four Volvos in the last 35 years, but this XC90 is the most expensive and the worst by far. This car experience has really turned me off. I will never purchase another Volvo

Great awesome cars in every aspect, comfort, performance, handling, smoothness, features, reliability (not in some models though) and especially safety. You get the best bang for your buck in Volvos. Only thing I would say is to stay away from the XC90 T6 (petrol engines) from 2015 - 2016. (Not sure if 2017 has these problems, as I havnt experienced anything from the 2017 models) I sell many of these Volvos But the petrol XC90s T6 from 2015 - 2016 are very unreliable because of being the first year of these models when they first came out. Had many experiences with failing superchargers ($4k to fix ) evaporator failing ($5k to fix) and also these engines have a known fault that the pistons don’t inbed in properly in some of the engines and it burns massive amount of oil. (Did a test in a customers car, was burning about 2L of oil every 1000km) Also comes with a few hiccups here and there with coolant leaks, and oil leaks etc. I’ve never had a problem with the XC90 D5 (diesel engines) as they seems much better because they don’t have the engines failing or a supercharger in these models. This have the failing evaporator but this item was the least part failing out of everything I mentioned. I hope this information has helped out some people who are deciding to purchase a Volvo 😊

Purchased a used 2016 xc 90 with 85000 miles on it. First the sunroof leaked during a mediocre rain storm. The coil pack gave out one by one on all four cylinders, then the fuel pressure regulator went out. Next the electric water pump froze.l, then all four rotors warped so replaced with new rotors and brakes . Then the o ring on the oil filler cap failed so all oil blew out through fill hole all over engine compartment into spark plugs holes and all over alternator, my wife thought the vehicle was on fire when the oil hit the hot exhaust, she immediately pulled over then the no oil pressure warning came on. Now recently the vehicle needs more oil much more frequently. I am now at 98734 miles so it’s still under 100000 miles but oil consumption warranty only applies to original owner
