Speed limit indicator incorrect (example: indicator shows 80 mph speed limit on a small road in alabama where it should be 35 mph; also, there is no road in alabama greater than 75mph. ) lane departure assist has a hard time identifying lanes in some construction zones (this is extremely dangerous as the car is constantly trying to over-correct me) - infotainment system randomly reboots, presents a problem mostly when navigating - I have reported this issue way too many times and the infotainment system has been replaced once. Rear camera comes on randomly, often when no car or object is near infotainment system touch sensitivity is unacceptable.
The screens and backup camera are repeatedly crashing, even after the recall "fix" from the dealership. This happens multiple times a week.
I picked up the auto in sweden osd. . . . The car does not have a owners manual that can be printed or down-loaded. Was informed by Volvo that it is in the computer on the car and you can use that. You are unable to open the manual while the auto is moving. Was advised that Volvo does not plan to make a manual available for download or purchase. With today's technology, how can you sell a car with no users manual. I believe this is a major safety issue.
Remote start, infotainment system which controls everything, dashboard, lights, and cigarette lighter all intermittently turn off and on. Everyday, something else seems to stop working. My vehicle is 2. 5 weeks old. This is apparently is a know latent defect that Volvo has chosen to keep from customers, based on feedback from Volvo service, who are actually denying appointments stating that there is nothing they can do.
Brand new vehicle emitting moderate amount of smoke from exhaust when stopping, idle, or when pulling out from stopped position (I. E. Traffic light, stop sign). Notice exhaust smoke more when coming to stop on slight decline or accelerating from stopped position to incline roadway. Smoke is malodorous (burning metal/wire smell). No warning lights on vehicle dash. Inspected by Volvo dealership service team and unable to find source of smoking. Smoke odor causes headache in vehicle occupants if windows down when smoke present. Thankfully, no smoke in cabin. When exhaust smoke is heavy, visibility of motorists behind me in traffic is temporarily decreased until smoke clears. Also, I experience temporary decreased driver side window visibility from smoke when this occurs and have to remained stopped until smoke clears. This problem has occurred daily since the first episode.
