I bought this car on 8/30/24. This car has the ability to turn off the lane keeping aid, but it defaults to steering assistance which can't be turned off. I was not aware of this before purchasing. This feature is a big problem and should be removed or allow the driver to deactivate. If I am driving and move out of my lane to avoid a pedestrian or stopped vehicle, the car automatically detects the solid line on either side of the car and steers me back toward whatever obstacle I'm trying avoid. This is seriously unsafe to be steered toward a pedestrian. I should not have to fight my car for control. I went to the dealer 9/10/24, and they confirmed that the system is working as designed and the steering assistance is supposed to take over.
My wife and I purchased this vehicle brand new from the dealer in Feb 2025. To date, we barely have 4,000 miles on the car. Since owning the car, we have experienced at least 5-6 incidents that the vehicle’s computer system fails to operate. When this occurs, there is no sound from any devices. The entertainment system works, but no sound, the blinkers work but no sound. More important, the car heat/cooling systems don’t operate, the light indicating cars are in your blind spots do not operate. We brought our vehicle back to our local dealership each time. In September, the dealer reached out to Volvo to have the computer “brain” replaced. They had the car for three days only to be told Volvo denied the replacement because what is occurring is a known issue and an update release was coming in November to fix the issue. November came and went and still no update. We spoke to the dealership and they had no idea. They recommended us contacting Volvo directly. We reached out to express our frustration and was told someone would get back in a few days. About a week later, we received an email from Volvo expressing their sorrows for our inconvenience and to open a case with our dealership. I was extremely disappointed as I responded indicating that’s what we have done time and time again and there’s nothing they can do. It’s a known error and the only way to reset to have the car parked and hold the menu select button. It takes about 3 minutes or so for the system to reboot. The last time this occurred we were driving home and the system shut off. This left us without heat and no safety features. Volvo is clearly aware of the issue and it appears there’s no urgency to get this resolved. We paid a lot of money to purchase this vehicle and it’s been a big disappointment we are looking for some assistance.
