2017 Volvo XC90 Reliability Update: Did I Buy A Lemon?

[@jessewildman1292]

As a volvo tech, I can tell you straight up, these cars are great when they’re working as designed. We see a few common problems with these cars, including a couple things that set a check engine light, and it sucks, because volvo doesn’t make them recalls, they just let the customer experience the problem and then bring the car in, which is very inconvenient. It’s nothing that’s going to cause the car not to run, but a check engine light never makes anyone happy. About the rotors: the braking power on these cars is amazing, but it comes with a price. Rear brake pads wear out about every 20k miles and front rotors get warped occasionally. The is most likely the vibration you are feeling under braking. As far as the vibration while NOT braking, it’s not driveline or suspension related. The suspension and drivetrain are very solid on these cars and I haven’t seen anything like a hub or an axle fail on these yet. Could be the sound damping foam coming off the inside of the tire maybe

[@Honeypot-x9s]

i love the design of these new Volvo but hate the potential reliability concerns. im sticking with my 2011 XC70 with real T6 engine and 260,000 miles of no reliability issue ever.

[@MidniteLiquid]

@@Honeypot-x9s I also have a 2011 Volvo XC70 T6 as well, but I have had a few more issues with it than my older 850s. I hate the fact that the compressor clutch is already worn-out on mine at 150K, that the catalytic convertor went bad like clock work when it hit 100K, and the trans valve body needs replacing to cure the hard downshifts from 6th to 5th and from 2nd to 1st when stopping.

[@v60polestar88]

meehhhe Of You 3 years of ownership on my V60 Polestar and not a single issue. The SPA platform is going to have some teething pain but for the most part they are rock solid. I will admit that brake pad wear has always been ridiculous on Volvo’s. I replace mine every 30k but I’ve learned to do it myself

[@Honeypot-x9s]

@@v60polestar88 maaan.. my XC70 runs lik a champ... speaking of SPA platform, got my hands on a XC90, 2006 with T6 AWD and i would call it mid level options.. its a junker.. but i got it for $100 it runs beautifully.. well i dont know how beautifully yet because the car dealer i got it will finish all legal stuff next week then ill pick it up.. but they gave the couple that came in $100 trade in value for it because they valued it at NV means no value. i rescued it.. i asked a few people if i can drive it around parking lot only and one of the guys said only parking lot cuz its not legal yet for them to let it get on road till next week once all transfered and stuff.. it purrs, it needs alot of work but the drive train is smooth, no hiccups or anything, stops goes, i drove it for 20 laps of dealership because not allow it on the road cuz cant put plates on it till monday after lunch but did that to see if overheating or anything i did a full standing acceleration test between the speed bumps to stress it and other then the interior being messed up being poor treatment squeaking and the body being beat to hell back..nothing wrong with it! no rust or anything! for $100 ...yea im taking it i told the the manager said come in monday and tuesday and bug him hard so he let it slip out the back door to junk yard. i normally hate beat up cars, not a SUV person, wagon for life here.. but when i saw this poor abused XC90 i had to ask...glad i did cuz $100 :D they only want what they put into it back they dont care at all, no a volvo dealer and they just gunna junk it anyway and it saves them possibility that it cost more to junk it then $100 value so..ya

Hey Jesse... are you in the US or close ?... any Volvo parts you can sell me for a 2004 XC70

[@9113Zach]

I have a 2017 S90 T6 with 124k miles. I bought it about 2.5 years ago with 38k miles. I have had a very small "tranfer case" leak, upstream 02 sensor fail, upper ball joint fail, AC compressor fail. Ive gone through numerous rear brake pads a couple sets of front brake pads. The shudder you mentioned I also struggled with for about year. I had my tires balanced several times, tire replaced under warranty. The shops checked to make sure the rotors were seated properly against the hub. Recently the shudder started to get worse while braking like a "warped" rotor. I decided to replace the front rotors. I took a wire brush on a Dremel and cleaned the mating surface during installation. After completion, all vibrations and shudders were finally gone! TLDR; clean the mating surfaces of the rotors and hubs extremely well and re torque the wheels. Thank me later. 😉

[@baywoodresident9271]

I own an 18 XC90 and I have the same issue with the parking sensors. In traffic the side and front sensors will go off at random. I have 9,100 miles on mine and Volvo has already replaced the front brake pads due to shutter. Lastly I have noticed numerous squeaks and rattles in the cargo area over rough pavement. With that being said, I love the XC90 and hope it will be a reliable car for the long run.

[@aguiremedia]

How has it kept up?

[@gordonjelke2475]

While I can't speak for the year model 2017, I own a 2016 XC90 Inscription with a lot of issues. However, the biggest issue was with an internal oil leak. Apparently, this was being caused by bad piston rings.

[@canaanbreen2834]

Shutter upon braking is usually warped rotors.

[@windstorm6155]

I have a 2020 XC40, which I love. Boot up is crazy fast (compared to the video above). No issues with parking sensors at speed. Ever since I got it a year ago, I have had the same issue recurrently with the check engine (or maybe battery) light. Mostly it happens with hotter conditions. The worst has been a complete start failure, as well as an in-motion random automatic reduction of transmission (a little turtle graphic pops up), combined with multiple lights and warnings (ESC off, battery light, engine light, tire pressure light). Basically the electronics just go a bit haywire randomly. It does seem to self resolve after multiple restarts, but is still terrifying when it occurs in the middle of traffic. Of course, Volvo service can never replicate it. I’m pretty convinced I have a lemon.

[@aguiremedia]

Ever figure out the issue?

[@Volksoner619]

2017 xc90 t8 r design bought in 2020 at 55k. It has 110k now and for the last year or so has had several problems. Check engine light comes on at least once a month. It’s had several o2 sensors, 2 oil traps, catalytic converter, throttle body. All under warranty. All service has been done at the dealer. It’s currently at the dealer for constant misfires across all cylinders. I recently did control arms due to bad ball joints. Had a coolant hard line pop last week. 2 days later the throttle body failed. It has several electrical gremlins. Compressor, headlights, mirrors, and infotainment system all do weird stuff. It seems every time I fix something another thing breaks almost immediately.

[@crabbyhayes1076]

My 2016 boots up quicker than yours - even cold. I park under trees, so my biggest issue is leaf debris under the hood , which results in a moldy odor. I also needed new rear brakes around 30K miles, which is suspect is due to the adaptive cruise that is hard on them. Other than that, and some nav system shortcomings, it has performed well.

[@jowilliebear]

I owned a 2016 XC90 Inscription and am now driving a 2018 XC90 R-Design with Polestar. Both incredible experiences. Swedish design is different--more practical. You will have to get used to clicking a command and allowing all 58 different computer systems to decide the best way to do the command. Yes, that takes getting used to..but when it works, it works great. Swedes, unlike us, apparently are not in a hurry. Results are more important than speed. A great dealer makes a difference too. Thanks for your report.

[@aguiremedia]

How has your volvo held up? Any issues?

[@jowilliebear]

@@aguiremedia None whatsoever! The key is a good relationship with a good dealer. We have owned Volvos since 2013 and no problems. The biggest issue is the learning curve. It's like going from PC to Mac.

[@markkibbe1802]

An update at the dealer will fix your touchscreen to a degree. The new ones have faster processors so they don't have loading problems. Also, unless your vibrations are tire or wheel related, good luck. We have been trying to track down a vibration in my mom's 05 XC90. Replaced a lot of suspension bits, tires, and balanced them twice. As for the parking sensors, just make sure the little circles stay really clean and you shouldn't have problems.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Good shouts all around! The censors are always clean. Just happens regardless. I’m sure they’re wheel related, but we’ll see. Yea hoping a sensus update will help a bit.

[@9113Zach]

I had the same issue. Clean the mating surface of the rotors and hubs very well.

[@1234TokyoJohn]

I have the same car, 1 problem. A circuit went out, and the lights, turn signal, etc. wouldn’t work. I managed to drive to the dealer and got it fixed. But one flaw - my spouse weighs between 110 and 115, and sometimes the passenger airbag won’t work.

[@crabbyhayes1076]

My 2016 XC90 has a number of the same issues as you. My rear brakes and rotors needed replacement after about 30,000 miles, which of course was not covered under warranty. I also had some sort of sunroof drain leak, which was the subject of a recall. Although it was fixed, my wife kept complaining about the musty smell; and even after a lot of detailing on my part, it did not go away. I was able to get them to finally replace the driver's side carpet, which seemed to fix the problem. As far as the electronics, they are quirky. The HVAC is temperamental, as is the GPS. The sensors do require cleaning to work properly, but I suspect that is a common technology maintenance issue. I like driving the car; but, as usual, the more things become complicated, the more problems.

[@reesedog918]

Crabby Hayes make sure you disable the auto hold function. That wears the brakes down even faster

[@sonyswe1176]

it is not true.I have 2017 and i have never some problems with my car

[@sov19871987]

Volvo bought back mine last week under lemon law, 2017 XC90 Inscription, 4 times air suspension repair, was under 24,000K

[@bradh6185]

1 1/2 minutes in, I couldn't take any more.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Oh no! Anyway…

[@Frejborg]

Shouldn't have warped rotors.. if so that's poor design there...

[@keeganpock864]

That IHU needs software.

[@keeganpock864]

Also debris in the parking sensors. Try blowing out with air and wiping them off

charger scatpack is the answer

9:12 LOL @ Guest Profile. Sheesh.

[@ShiftingLanes]

I mean I have it set up the way I want and I’m the only one that drives it, soooo 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JonathonBarton]

​@@ShiftingLanes Ditto - but L and I have ours each tied to our keys, and we (by we, I mean, *I*) changed the names on the profiles to Jon and Lise! (and Guest). =) I also had to put my seat settings on Profile 1 on the door panel, because if she walks up to the car with her key before me, it moves the seat to her position, which smashes my head into the roof! :) :)

[@Watchawatchen]

Used to work on them, and had to replaced brake pads at 20,000 miles before, and rotors basically 2 weeks after the customer got it because of the vibration. And the 4cyl engines are junk. All new ones are lemons

[@JulezWinnfield]

All new ones are not lemons.

[@einar8019]

Our v90 har 100 000 miles and the engine has been perfectly reliable

[@marcelbigsmile7805]

please explain what is junk on the 4cyl engines

[@willriley1619]

It's the same engine as the 5 cylinders and 6 cylinders. Volvo had a modular design they basically just cut motor to just 4 cylinders 2.0 liters. One thing I don't like is the higher compression ratio. I assume they did that for the low end tq since they use just 4 cylinders now. For performance that's nice but I think what always made Volvo turbo motors better than any other company was their lower compression ratio. I still would put the Volvo 4 cylinder as the most reliable European car engine.

[@merc340sr]

...my aching wallet!

[@krawlingkaos]

Buying a new 4cyl Volvo is like throwing your money into a burning fire pit. I can't think of ANY Volvo technician with a good thing to say about the new Volvo engines. Figured you'd have known this being as savvy as you are...

[@ShiftingLanes]

I know at least 15 techs personally though all this and only 2 have spoken ill of the engine. This is just flat out wrong. Engine is stout, many components surrounding it have been dodgy. This car has been rock solid. Not sure all the puffery online from purists really adds up here.

@@ShiftingLanes Hope you don't have to deal with oil consumption. CHEERS.

Get a Kia Telluride or Hyundai Palisade

[@SuperJS1974]

Yes, for reliability sake, a Kia telluride and or Hyundai palisade is much better.

[@Honeypot-x9s]

New Volvo’s suck if you want a long term vehicle. That being said, so do Mercedes and BMW. They are all 150,000 mile cars now a days. Also the new engines suck, not just because they are all busy little 4 cylinder engines but because their is no point to them, they drink fuel faster than equivalent full size engines they used to use. Example: I own a XC70 T6 Premier which has a 3.2 liter turbo charged inline 6 engine, AWD, 16 gallon tank and if I use cruise control on highway 70MPH I get about 500 miles of fuel range. I rented a new V60 T6 with similar package name and feature set, as well as same 16 gallon tank and on same route at same 70MPH cruise control and got almost 100 miles less range. In my XC70 the RPM sits at 1600 RPM 70MPH cruise. On that V60 it was fluctuating between 2200 rpm and 2600 rpm at same speed in cruise.

[@nickclark6001]

Have you looked at volvos sales graph compared to the other makes,they are way ahead with record sales for the last five years ! 13% up again from 2018 whilst BMW are about 2% up and other mass market makes down..

[@ademking7441]

Just damn waste of time the video, empty talk, bullsh t , wht juat dont talk about the problems, looks like volvo commercial that explains how good car is.... Trash!
