At low temperatures, the door latches are inoperable and you cannot open the doors. In instances of emergency this would make it very hard to get access to somebody inside the car. In addition, in extreme weather conditions or cases where you are personally in danger you may not be able to gain access to your car.

I personally, back in August of 2016 ordered a new 2017 Volvo S90 T5 inscription, and took deliver in November 2016. I began noticing a little vibration around July time frame but after the vehicle first manufacture recommended service didn't feel it as much. It wasn't until the first week of December when driving to work when reaching speeds of 40 mph or more, most noticeably at 55 mph plus on an interstate or highway there was an vibration in the steering wheel and driver seat so bad the car (pulls to the right and left) feel like the car is going to lose control. After several visits to my local Volvo dealership the service manager informed me that one or maybe 2 of my oem tires (pirelli P zero (PZ4) tires max performance summer tires size: 255/35zr20 may have a manufacture defect. At the time of this incident the oem tires only had roughly 14,200 miles on them. The service manager recommended that I replace all 4 tires (at my expense of course) since they can?T determine which one is bad. I checked the internet on several Volvo forums sites and discovered that several 2017 Volvo owners are having the same problems with the original equipment manufacturer(oem) pirelli P zero tires that comes with the 20'' Volvo oem rims.

I lease a 2017 Volvo S90 with auto-brake and start/stop technology. Recently I was in my driveway and put the vehicle in drive. I rolled forward a few feet and realized I needed to exit the vehicle for something. I became distracted due to an item on my drivers seat and since the vehicles engine was not running due to start-stop technology I did not realize that the car was still in drive and that the ignition was in the on position. I exited the vehicle and closed the drivers door. When I did so, the start-stop technology engaged and the car drove off without me. The only thing that stopped the car was that it ran into my home. I believe this is a huge safety flaw that Volvo needs to correct immediately. The auto brake button was not engaged.
