POPULAR VOLVO MODELS
S60
The compact executive sedan, S60, while offering a dynamic driving experience, has had certain issues crop up. Turbocharger or supercharger problems have been brought to our attention, especially in the T6 and T8 variants. There’ve also been instances of the fuel system showing signs of wear, particularly with the fuel pump or injectors. Electronic parking brakes, on occasion, have shown failures or malfunctions, requiring sensor or actuator replacements.
XC60
The midsize XC60, popular among families, hasn’t been free from challenges. The Drive-E engine, while efficient, has shown problems with oil consumption in some cases. We’ve also diagnosed issues with the cooling system, particularly with the water pump and thermostat. Furthermore, there’ve been cases of electronic glitches, especially with the advanced driver assistance systems giving false or inconsistent warnings.
V90
The V90, a modern take on the classic Volvo wagon, brings its unique set of challenges. There have been concerns related to the panoramic sunroof, either with its operation or with water leaks. Some owners have also raised issues with the vehicle’s auto stop-start system, either being too aggressive or failing to function correctly. As with other Volvos, the infotainment system sometimes requires software updates due to sporadic glitches.
XC90
The XC90, Volvo’s flagship SUV, combines Scandinavian design with safety and technology. However, in our auto shop, there have been some consistent issues raised. Electronic malfunctions are sometimes reported, particularly with the infotainment system and touchscreen controls. The air suspension system, in certain models, can exhibit signs of wear or failure, leading to an uneven ride or the vehicle sitting low. Additionally, there have been instances of premature wear of the brake components, likely due to the vehicle’s weight.
S90
The executive sedan, S90, stands out for its elegance and comfort. Yet, it has its set of vulnerabilities. Owners have occasionally reported transmission issues, particularly with the 8-speed automatic, manifesting as rough shifting. The LED headlights, although providing excellent illumination, have had instances of malfunction or moisture ingress. Interior electronics, particularly the seat adjustments and memory functions, sometimes act erratically.
