    Would you purchase again?

    We bought our 2016 XC90 Inscription model new in July, 2016. Would DEFINITELY buy again but consider it costs for service when needed. We purchased the 100k mile service plan and glad we did. We have had various issues over our almost 5 years of ownership but love this SUV. We bought the...

    My First Volvo...'19 T-6 Inspection......and

    I feel your worry. This is the first Volvo we have bought as well and traded a Subaru Outback for this SUV. The good news is Volvo's last forever. The bad news is they cost to repair when they break (they all break eventually) just like other European makes but I found out recently a Cadillac...

    Fuel injectors replaced?

    Update; we had ONE fuel injector replaced (the one that coded as "bad" and chose not to replace the spark plugs since they were just changed in January. After 3 weeks, fuel economy is better and appears all is good. I also started buying gas at different locations vs. one / the same location...

    Fuel injectors replaced?

    We have just been notified our fuel injectors need replacing because of a fault code from the check engine light. This is at 70k miles. Dealership said this typically doesn't happen on cars with less than 100k miles so wondering if any other XC90 owners have experienced a fuel injector failure...

    Suspension Service Required Warning

    Ours does the same thing. Seems when below freezing and wet/snow weather, the light illuminates. I wonder if the snow, ice builds up on the suspension air bags and the warning comes on; just a thought. Then when warmer weather arrives (next day), the light / warning goes away. We do not have...

    Sunroof Leak

    This does not help you but my sharkfin antenna is leaking and dealership is replacing the seal ($30 part and $450 labor to drop the headliner- 3 hours). The dealership made the statement that typically the sunroofs leak at some point in their lives. Yours seems early for a leak to me but...

    Tires

    I replaced our Pirelli Scorpion originals with Continentals then Michelin Premiers (so on the 3rd set of tires at 70k miles). I definitely prefer the Michelin's over the prior two mentioned. Would definitely buy the Michelin's again. Better ride and less road noise as well as better handling...

    Oxigen tanks under booth cover

    Those are for the 4 corner air suspension which is an option when new ($1,800). We have that option.

    shark fin antenna leaking

    I replaced my rear hatch seal (rubber ring around inside of the rear hatch) and found a leak in the upper rear courtesy light (in the roof of the car). Turns out the dealership determined it was the shark fin antenna seal! Not the sunroof or the rear hatch. Has anyone else had this seal...

    Looking for 2018 XC90 owner feedback

    We have owned ours since new in July, 2016. LOVE it! And I am a car nut. Own 5 old vehicles. Would DEFINITELY buy again. Issues, yes. Software updates (free), brakes replaced early (we paid, wear item) but LOVE this vehicle. First Volvo we have owned and the 4 cylinder engines is just...

    Ignition coil replaced at 68k miles

    Our check engine light came on at 68,000 miles and we took it to the dealership. They replaced the #1 coil pack and all of the spark plugs (which I am ok with even though they were replaced 10k miles ago). Has anyone else experienced a coil failure? The dealership said this does happen but is...

    Rear brakes replaced at 28k miles?

    Just had our 60k miles service and replaced Rear brakes, pads, rotors again. Guessing now this is a 30k mile service going forward. We still LOVE this SUV!

    Rear brakes replaced at 28k miles?

    So you are having the same wear issue I experienced. Interesting. I guess our XC90's will just experience fast(er) brake wear over time? BTW, I love our XC90!

    Gas door post or plunger broken

    Just noticed my gas door plunger (locks the gas door) was broken the other day. Volvo (dealership) ordered the replacement part and fixed it free of charge. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

    New tire dilemma?

    Seat covers

    It is why we got a Black interior (leather). I have heard ALL light colored leather seats do this now. My former 2006 Toyota Prius (Tan leather) did this too. Eventually, after wear, it will be harder to get them all the way clean. I don't know of any covers for these seats.

    Car Shopping

    Love air suspension; it is reason I bought this 16 Inscription that we have owned since new. Well worth the $1,800 upgrade in price (when new). Good luck and happy XC90 driving. A great family vehicle.

    Lost center display in driver's window between Speedo and Tachometer

    Update; the dealership replaced the 1) software, then 2) the wiring from the center stack to the center display (speed and tach area) then 3) the "IHU" Integrated Head Unit?. All 3 of these service visits were covered under warranty, thank goodness. 38k miles on odometer I was told the IHU...

    Lost center display in driver's window between Speedo and Tachometer

    We just took our 2016 XC90 Inscription for a "software update" to fix the disappearing center screen in front of the driver; not the center display on the dash. Seems our radio/ navigation/ email notifications were not being displayed consistently; would come and go. The software update today...
