Electrical System problem #1

In our 2021 Volvo xc90, the hybrid battery has completely failed, which I suspect is a common issue in this model. The error message is hybrid system failure, and the dealership has confirmed that the entire battery will need replacement. Volvo has not listed this car as subject to a recall over this issue, and I suspect they are underplaying its frequency. We have been waiting weeks for a replacement to become available.

Electrical System problem #2

Rear light malfunction alert. Intermittent. Seems to happen when humidity is high.
