Product Reviews:

Bought this car as a certified used car when it was 3 years old, in addition bought extended warranty for additional 5 years or 75,000 miles whichever comes first. It just turned 5 this month. Only 2 years into extended warranty, have another 25,000 miles or so left too. Warranty work since purchase included tire air pressure sensors, few minor things. Had been very happy until last week. Took in for regular maintenance to Weaver Volvo in Raleigh, NC, mentioned I'd been smelling a musty/moldy smell when I turn on my a/c after not driving for few days, I suggested maybe the cabin filter needed changing. The service rep found the cabin filter should have been changed as part of my last service there, but was not done.In addition, they found that my windshield was leaking above the driver's side, and could actually be lifted up from the Inside! Both extended warranty and Volvo refused to fix it, giving me the name of recommended auto glass place, stating it was a "wear" issue. I stated it was not a wear issue, but a manufacturing and or Install issue. Doing my research, I've found lots of Volvo owners complaining about the very same thing! Volvo knows there is a problem, but does nothing about it. When I contacted the auto glass dealer, I was told they will not even attempt just a reseal, because it fails, because the priming on the oem windshield is defective. They receive calls from many Volvo customers with same problem every week. They will only install a new windshield, brand new install due to their experience with Volvo windshields, breaking, and reseal failures. I decided to not deal with another OEM windshield, as the primer issue appears to be ongoing.I'm very likely to have the same problem... seen other posts where customers have this same issue 2 or 3 times in a row when replacing a Volvo windshield with another Volvo windshield. I'm going with Pilkington, made in the USA, and has not had these problems leaking. It is going to cost me over $500 for a new windshield installation. I'm contacting Regional Service Manager about my discontent. I bought this Volvo because of its reputation for reliability, but I guess those days are over. I owned a Jeep for 22 years before I had to address a windshield leak. Your windshield should not leak at 5 years old. Some people are seeing leaks much earlier too! It's either the primer alone and/or the glue product. I'd been looking to upgrade my Volvo model... don't think I'll do that now. Weaver Volvo and Volvo... so disappointed in you.

Volvo is a great vehicle. Love driving it. Over 180,000 miles now and hope to have more years. Also hope to have it last so my child can drive it in two years. It has a good quality, comfortable, heated seats, safety, long lasting, reliable and good looking. It's a reputable company as well. I am happy with everything about the vehicle and would purchase again. Would tell my family and friends to buy it.

I have a Volvo XC90 T6 AWD 2002. It sucks. I've had nothing but problems with it since the day I bought it. Unfortunately, I can not afford to get rid of it. I'm scared every time I drive it and pray that I'll get where I'm going safely. I've spent thousands of dollars on repairs at the dealer. Thank God I bought the extended warranty, not once but twice. I replaced the transmission at 75k miles. New tires are worn out at 25k miles. It goes through brakes like toilet paper. I've replaced rotors, drums, motor mounts (twice). The dashboard/radio area gets incredibly hot (so hot to touch it almost burns your fingers). It heated up my cell phone so much in the little stash area that my phone quit working. It's a wonder it doesn't burst into flames. I have had so many problems with it I can not even count them all. I take it to the same dealer so he can print out a record of all of the repairs. Every time I go there, it cost me a fortune. One time it was nearly $5000 and that was with the warranty payments. I just spent another $1200 on it. Now, driving here in the rain, it started making this high-pitched shrill noise like you wouldn't believe. It's done that before so I think it must have something to do with the traction control. Anyone else had that shrill sound with traction control in rain or snow? I would like to have a class action lawsuit and at least get Volvo to give me what I owe on it so I can go get something else.

I love the Volvo. The handling and traction are exceptional and the all wheel drive acts like a 4 wheel drive. Ours is white so it maintains a cleaner appearance. The sunroof and leather interior, although very hot in the summer months, are also great and the heated seats are a joy during the winter months. The price we got the car for could not have been better too. And the gas mileage is as good as a brand new car. It's just that it has no cup holders and its tires always appear low because they are low profile tires.

Last spring, we went on a vacation and left our 2010 XC60 parked in our garage. Upon returning, the battery was stone cold dead. After getting Triple A to jumpstart it for us, we drove it around for a while and were able to start it after. The dealership said we should put a trickle charger on it if we're leaving it for that long. We just returned from a four-day trip with the XC60 parked in our garage and its battery is again totally dead. I have never heard of the need to put a trickle charger on such a higher-end car if it's being parked for four days! We can't use it to take us to the airport and have confidence that it will start when we return. Airport parking lots don't have AC outlets to plug a tickle charger into. I'm a bit disappointed, unless there is more information I need to know?

Five months ago, we bought a 2007 Volvo VNL670 truck at Arrow Truck Tampa, FL (a Volvo authorized dealer). In less than thirteen weeks, we have had to replace the EGR valve six times. I contacted Volvo customer satisfaction department after the third replacement. Today, with three more replacements in between, and after an engineer from technical support called the dealer where the truck is now, the dealers are saying that probably the fault wasn't the EGR from the beginning. They are replacing the gaskets that also might affect the valve performance, to see if that is the problem. The dealer also said that almost all engines have problems with the EGR valves, or other parts involved in that process. So, what is Volvo waiting for? Volvo trucks in North America should do a recall on that engine; replace a system that they are aware is not working properly and that the truck owners in this country are paying the price and the consequences.

Had 2003 V70.. Great car, No problems. Bought 2014 XC60 and we still have temporary tags and this car has already been towed in twice, died (battery) second, overheated. Volvo of Triad in Winston-Salem, NC lied about everything! There were scratches on hood and they took touch-up and made a mess. They told us it was "Local", it came from FLORIDA!!! They sold it to us past 30,000 miles and then we found out 30,000-mile service had never been done! And it was a "certificated pre-owned". Now key fob does not recognize. Stay away.

I bought a used Volvo and they are pieces of junk. Just keep yourself a mile away from Volvo cars. They break down often and are expensive to fix.

Like many of you, I am a die hard Volvo fan. A loyal Volvo customer, I purchased my Certified Pre-owned Volvo XC-60 a few days ago. It's almost brand new and a beautiful vehicle. I was very excited to set up the Volvo On Call app on my iPhone. It doesn't work! I ignored a few negative on-line reviews about Volvo On Call app and service. Do NOT overlook these reviews!Sadly, it took me over 5 phone calls to set the app up. Then, after paying $200 to get the app functional, it worked for one day. I was happy until the next day when the app totally failed. No services available! I called Volvo On Call... They said it will be fixed within 24 hours. Giving 24 hours, I didn't use the app. I then tried to use the app (well past 24 hours), to no avail! The app doesn't even recognize my account. It wanted me to start all over again (!).Frustrated, I called and asked Volvo for a refund. The answer... "No! We don't refund for the app..." I explained that it's not working. Volvo, reluctantly, offered a mail-in 30 percent off coupon, which I declined. I don't want 30 percent off. I want the Volvo On Call app that I just paid $200 for to work properly, as it should. As a loyal Volvo owner, I am extremely dissatisfied. I almost purchased an Audi. I am thinking that would have been the better choice now. If you purchase a new Volvo, please be aware that the Volvo On Call app may not work! Even Volvo management will not offer you a refund - or seemingly care - if your Volvo On Call app is working properly or not. "Buyer beware" on this app!My Volvo is a wonderful vehicle, for sure! However, don't trust the technology or the service before you provide your credit card, as I did. Sorry, Volvo. You've let down one of your biggest fans in me. I would recommend a Volvo, but it's impossible for me to recommend that someone I care about spends $200 per year for the Volvo On Call app, as the service doesn't work and is abhorrent, at best. Please think twice before buying this app and trusting the service like I did. It's a very frustrating and disappointing experience. I can't get a refund, and the app truly doesn't perform well at all. It's good app in theory, but it lacks the practical expectation of functionality. Regretfully submitted, a frustrated and disappointed Volvo enthusiast.
