My air conditioning system failed. The entire dashboard and front seats had to be removed. This included having to replace the a/c evaporator, evacuated a/c refrigerant system, removed center console, removed dshboard and all related components, removed and replaced evaporator, adapter for evaporator, o-rings at expansion valve, reinstalled wiring harness behind dash board and all related clips, recharged a/c refrigerant system, additionally, I continually received a power steering disable notification, and parking assist disable notification. This is so frustrating.
Vehicle completely had multiple warning lamps come on while I was driving and it was apparent the computer was failing. Car would not turn off when I moved to turn off the ignition knob. When restarted, car would not shift. Car had to be taken to dealership by tow truck. Dealership notes that water leaked through sunroof over time and accumulated under seats of car, entering into electrical systems. This is also noted by owners of other Volvo cars in public forums.
Distracting dash warnings “power steering assistance temporarily reduced”, auto parking warning come on while driving and engine pause during stops working intermittently. Start/stop doesn't work like its supposed to, only works intermittently, only works beginning of drive & then doesn't work rest of travel.
Key fob can activate the lift gate when key is in pocket because the buttons are too sensitive on the fob leading to a person getting injured by automatically closing trunk. Vehicle was stationary loading groceries into trunk.
