XC90 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,200 miles

For a car that costs as much as it does, and has hype surrounding it for being such a fabulous car, I have had nothing but issues. Specifically on this complaint, the interior amenities, including center console, seatbelts, child seat in back and speakers on door. All of these items have literally fallen apart. The center console, no joking, came apart as I was driving. I leaned my arm (I'm 125 pounds) and it fell apart. Came apart.

The speakers on the doors continually fell off and one time the passenger speaker fell off when someone opened the door and then when they closed it, it ripped the leather on the inside. I asked the Volvo dealer to fix it 3 times before.......AHHHHH.

The back kid seat broke the first time I looked at it. Didn't even have a kid on it, just looking at it. Called the dealer, they said it wasn't covered. SERIOUSLY???? (With 400 miles on it, its not covered?)

I could go on but you get the picture. Small cabin space for any guest, third row is almost useless because no one other than a small VERY SMALL child can get back there. GIANT, DISAPPOINTMENT.

If I get time, I'll tell you about the transmission sticking too.......
