problem #3

XC90

  • miles
Wipers began to turn on randomly without driver command causing distractions in a vehicle with 38,000 miles. There is a technical service bulletin about this issue (32366). It is known that the wipers will completely fail to work after an unknown, but rather short interval. Failed windshield wipers would render the vehicle unsafe to operate, therefore we elected for Immediate repair. The repair was in excess of $1,500 and the manufacturer refused to pay for the repair out of warranty.

Volvo XC90 2018 models will not always display rear view camera content within 2 seconds of shifting into reverse as per FMVSS 111. This is due to really slow and lagging infotainment system. Behavior is evident on multiple models and vehicles which share same sensus infotainment system.

Cracked windshield even with less than minor chip. The car was driving at 68mph on a straight highway on a 'clip' sound was heard hitting the windshield. After 10 minutes a 14 inch crack was noted from the top edge to the center of the windshield. The car has <2000 miles on it. Is the quality of windshield worse in cars with driver assistance packages. Have driven different vehicles without driver assistance and never encountered such an incident. The extent of crack with a chip (which is not even visible), is quite surprising. I hope NHTSA will look into this. Is this isolated to this vehicle manufacturer or with most manufacturer windshields with driver assistance packages. This may be life-threatening if the glass is not strong enough and shatter with such minor road hazards.
