1 Seats problem of the 2022 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 09/29/2023

We took our Volvo to the dealer today to address another problem with the Volvo care system. We were told it was the back up battery. The car was left at Volvo for no more than 90 minutes. Prior to leaving it with Volvo, we had a convertible car seat installed in the second row, passenger side seat. We have a 26-month-old who rides in it every day. Later today, we picked up our son and ran several errands and returned home tonight around 9 pm. That’s when we discovered that the car seat had been completely disconnected from the vehicle. Apparently this is done to access some component of the car for the repair that was performed. Volvo technicians apparently uninstalled the car seat, performed the repair, and then returned the car seat, uninstalled, right back in the exact spot they had taken it from. The main connection is down behind the seat, at the base, so it was not obvious that the car seat had been uninstalled. Apparently Volvo is not providing instructions to their technicians to ask permission to uninstall a car seat, or to refrain from replacing the car seat without informing drivers that it is not installed. Hopefully Volvo improves this process before a child is hurt or killed because they are not secured to the vehicle.

2 Seats problem of the 2023 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 10/31/2022

1)rear 2nd row seat creaking noises. I visited the dealer 3 times, showed evidence with video clips what I recorded, but they couldn't find the cause. I thought that replacing the entire seat was the best way, but the work was finished by applying lubricant only, and this phenomenon continues even after that. The noise disappears when the seat is folded and unfolded as a trial, but it reappears after a few days, and there is no noise when the passenger sits in the seats. These cases are mentioned in swedespeed. Com, a user's internet forum, but there seems to be no improvement. The problem is noise that interferes with the concentration of driving. 2) when passengers board the 2nd and 3rd row seats and do not wear belts, there should be a warning sound and warning message, but there is none. 1st row seat works fine.

3 Seats problem of the 2016 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 06/14/2022

Srs airbag service urgent drive to workshop light has come on twice. I was told by dealership it is a faulty wire harness where the airbags could possibly deploy if I was in an accident. Volvo does have a recall for the exact issue yet my VIN does not fall in this recall.

4 Seats problem of the 2016 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 02/25/2022

While driving the vehicle the "srs airbag" warning light comes on, I took the vehicle to the dealership which indicated the "seat harness" would need to be replaced. The seat harness has a integrated chip to alert the airbags to work properly. Volvo has had previously recalls for this issue on 2016 xc 90 vehicles but my VIN isn't included in the recall, I feel they need to expand the recall knowing their are several vehicles having this exact issue. Air bags are federally regulated and this is a safety related issue.

5 Seats problem of the 2006 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 10/13/2021

The drivers side electric seat controls are causing unsafe driving conditions. I drive with the seat all the way back and down. I have the memory sets all for that position. Problem is when I get back in the car it will be back up and forward al the way. So I will set it back down. Well while IA m driving it will automatically start raising back up and forward. As you can imagine this gets very uncomfortable and feels like I am getting choked to death. I will set it back and it will keep doing that . I will hear clicking and then it will start moving. Sometimes. I will have to hold my finger on the down button to keep it from moving on me while im driving, sometimes it will still move all the way up while I am holding the button down. And then it will get all the way forward and the buttons will not work for me for a while. Im stuck in the forward up position choking and cant do anything about it. Eventually they will start working again nut its a very impossible position to be left in. I don't know why it is doing this. I feel like I have a christine car(from the movie) . I haven't taken it anywhere and not sure where to go. I feel like the dealer would try to hide the problem.

6 Seats problem of the 2011 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 07/08/2018

The built-in child safety seat in the middle cracked after the first time I opened it so I can't put it back down and don't know if it affects the child airbag. I asked Volvo about it and they told me it would be $500 just to simply look at it before deciding whether to fix it or if covered by the warranty. This isn't safe and I now have a child seat I can't use and a seat I can't put down. This isn't the first of complaints I have seen about this and am worried about the safety of my children aka sons. My VIN [xxx] and it's a 2011 Volvo Xc90. Thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

7 Seats problem of the 2016 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 08/13/2017

Second row seat's on the driver side slided to the front , because of which both legs of my brother were squeezed between the driver seat and the seat he was sitting on. Fortunately, the vehicle was on going slow - he could have broken his leg if it was moving on high speed. Note: second row seat showed on the passenger side showed the similar problem before but did not result on such dangerous incident , so I fixed by visiting the Volvo dealership. There certainly is some manufacturing defects on second row seat of my car, and am afraid to drive it around with passengers on the second row. My Volvo has less than 10,000 miles on its dashboard.

8 Seats problem of the 2016 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 01/03/2017

At least 3 times, my car has braked itself (at around 50 miles per hour) when there was nothing in front of me. This was very unsafe- if someone had been behind me, I would have been hit. This seems to be the collision mitigation system engaging for no reason. The dealer has said they "fixed it" (don beyer Volvo) but I believe they have just turned the system pretty much off so that it now would not stop if there was a real object in front of me. I had a loaner in which the system was still on and mine no longer works like that. I think they don't really have a fix for this so they just turn it off in the cars that have this defect. This is a major safety issue. Also, have had the navigation system go blank while driving then it shows that you are somewhere else and get stuck there for days. (many other problems also, a noise in the seat (second row) that they maybe fixed after three times but now the second row seat does not work properly (got stuck out of the socket but we got it back in and I think this is a safety issue. ).
