I am one of the few new owners of a Volvo S90 in the US. I like the car a lot. After having it for a month, I have a few problems and the dealer cannot fix all of them.
1. The navigation system was lost. I did a trip from Virginia to Florida without problems. In trying to drive to Connecticut, the nav system kept showing me circling the area around my house in Virginia, even though I was in Pennsylvania at the time. I tried doing the reset to factory defaults via the menus and then the system had me in Manhatten in New York City. I continued my drive to Connecticut and took it to a dealer for repair. After 3 hours of installing updates they got the nav system to know where it was. But there are still issues.
2. After the updates, the tech had problems with the voice controls and trying to find locations such as "search gas stations" had no results. The dealer scheduled me to come back the next week. In the meantime, I tried other searches. I found the state had not been set for the voice controls and I set the state to Connecticut. The car could then find gas stations. But when I tried to search Home Depot, the car gives me a list of stores all saying they are in Hartford or New Haven Connecticut with no distances. I select the first line and then it shows me an address in Plainville which was actually the closest store. It did the same for Lowes. When I took it back to the dealer, I gave them pictures of the screens. They were able to duplicate it on my car and 2 other S90s in their lot. Volvo does not have a fix.
3. The HUD will occasionally restart at the top of the display. I have to go in and adjust the HUD back to a viewable position. The dealer acknowledged the problem and said Volvo was aware of it, but again no fix.
4. On the drive to Florida, many highways are concrete and the have white and black lines for the lane markings with the light colored pavement. The lane detection does not work on these roads. Volvo does not have a fix.
5. Volvo on call app is useless. My first night at a hotel with my car parked at outside, the app notified me that my car doors were unlocked at 3:16 am. I threw on clothes and ran out of the hotel to check on my car. It was sitting there, all locked up. I checked the app on my phone while next to the car, and it still said the doors were unlocked. I tried locking the doors through the app and it would not complete the command. I verified the car was secure and went back to bed. I have tried using the app several more times and the app does not work. It will display the location ok and show the dashboard but the lock/unlock and remote start rarely works. When the 6 months free trial is over, I will not be renewing the service.
Hopefully Volvo will have software updates in the future.
