2022 Volvo XC90 T8 RechargeRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“My 2022 Volvo XC90 (VIN: [XXX]) has a recurring failure of the center touchscreen display, which controls the climate system. Almost daily, the display shuts off while I’m driving and does not reboot. When it fails, I cannot use the heat, the windshield defroster, or the defogger. As cold weather sets in, this is a serious visibility and safety hazard. On XXX, at approximately 35,400 miles, I took the vehicle to the authorized Volvo dealership in [XXX] (repair order #XXX). I paid approximately $366 for a software reset. The repair did not fix the problem. Since then, the system crashes right after startup. It also intermittently plays loud white noise through the speakers, at random times and without warning while I’m driving. The sudden loud noise startles and distracts the driver.

The technician recommended replacing the faulty module. The replacement part is on back order, and I have been advised that obtaining battery modules into the United States is a known supply bottleneck that could delay repairs for several months. Volvo has confirmed that the repair is covered under warranty, but the vehicle remains unrepaired while I wait for the part. Of particular concern, the technician documented that the vehicle would not start when they attempted to move it into a parking space. The technician noted that this failure may or may not occur again. This creates uncertainty about the vehicle's ability to start and operate reliably. The vehicle previously displayed a “Propulsion System Service Required” warning. Although the vehicle had reportedly behaved normally during…”

“This is my 2nd Volvo xc90. Both models have turbo issues that is costly repairs. Volvo dealership also stated that turbo repairs usually are an issue in Volvo. My first Volvo was 2016 which had a turbo issue. Now my 2022 is now in shop due to turbo and oil spills on inside. There should be a recall.”
