Tires · reported Oct 29, 2026

As I was driving, I heard a loud pop and my right rear tire started deflating. I had not run over anything obvious in the road and the tireâs appearance led me to believe that the treads had separated. I called the Volvo dealership to get their opinion on the photo and the tire rep never returned my call. Because of the unusual tire blow, I felt it was safest to get all 4 tires replaced and the Costco tire rep thought that the blowout was unusual, too. I drove all four tires to Principle Volvo for their tire rep to inspect and their conclusion was âoutside influencesâ caused the blow…

Service Brakes · reported Oct 22, 2026

While driving 45-50 miles per hour on a large main street in orange county with a car 6-7 car lengths ahead and the Volvo XC90 automatically forced the vehicle to stop on a dime for no apparent reason. Everyone in the car was thrown forward into the locking seatbelts. Thankfully no one was injured.

Air Bags · reported Sep 16, 2026

Vehicle was stopped at a stop light with brake pedal pressed. Car started rolling with brake pedal pushed and repeatedly pushing the brake pedal did nothing! Car jerked three times and responded to pressing the park button. Once in park, I noticed that all warning lights came including brake warnings but the car would not turn off and it was stuck in park. Car would not come out of park but the radio and hazards worked. Police responded and advised not to take my foot off the brake until the tow truck got there. Initially, the tow truck driver could not put the car in drive or neutral or turn…

Structure · reported Sep 14, 2026

COMPONENT / SYSTEM: Sunroof drainage system â left front sunroof drain hose and sunroof tub. The vehicle and the component are available for inspection on request. WHAT HAPPENED: On or about July 6, 2026 I observed water entering the passenger compartment at the right rear interior quarter trim panel, visible on opening the tailgate. I reported it to Volvo Car USA Customer Care by telephone the same day. On July 29, 2026, while I was driving on a highway, water dripped from the overhead panel above the rearview mirror, surrounding the interior lights, onto me. The same day I found water…

Electrical System · reported Aug 10, 2026

My 2024 Volvo XC90 has experienced complete battery and electrical failure three times in approximately ten months. The failure pattern is identical each time. The battery discharges fully with no prior warning. A jump start restores power briefly, but the vehicle does not hold a charge and shuts down again, so it must be towed. The battery has been replaced three separate times by authorized Volvo retailers and the failure keeps recurring, which indicates the underlying cause has not been identified. Component: Electrical system, specifically a suspected parasitic current draw causing…
