Example complaints
Electrical system: “I purchased a brand-new 2026 Volvo EX90 just 4days ago from a volvo dealership . Yesterday, the vehicle’s software proximity logic malfunctioned and auto-locked the doors while my baby was strapped inside. My physical key card and my phone with the digital key were both inside the cabin. To make matters worse, when I tried to use the Volvo remote app to unlock it with a different phone, the app failed completely because the car was not “connected”. Volvo roadside assistance could not unlock the vehicle either. …”
NHTSA complaint #11759785, filed 2026-08Other or unknown: “While driving my nearly new 2026 Volvo EX90 at freeway speed, the vehicle unexpectedly began sounding warning tones and experienced a significant loss of propulsion/power. The vehicle was unable to maintain normal acceleration and freeway performance, creating a serious safety risk while I was traveling in active freeway traffic. Earlier that day, the vehicle had displayed a warning stating “Charging system fault — book a service.” The vehicle’s GPS/location system was also malfunctioning. The GPS issue had occurred previously. …”
NHTSA complaint #11766156, filed 2026-09Fuel system: “Overall, we've been very happy with the EX90, but it's clear the vehicle is in desperate need of a comprehensive software update from Volvo. The issues we're experiencing don't appear to be hardware failures so much as recurring software-related problems. We've received intermittent propulsion system warnings, headlight system warnings, delayed accelerator response at times, and general electrical system sluggishness. The infotainment system can be slow to respond, and various vehicle functions occasionally lag or behave inconsistently before returning to normal. …”
NHTSA complaint #11751807, filed 2026-07Transmission and drivetrain: “While driving the vehicle at a low rate of speed it presenter a Critical Error message which appeared across the drivers screen for approximately 5-10 seconds. The message then immediately disappeared and the vehicle shut down mid operation and came to an abrupt stop on its own. From there it was unable to be moved, switched into neutral/drive or park. Luckily this happened on a neighborhood street, but the warning didn’t allow any time to pull over to find a safe location. To reiterate, the vehicle then suddenly and abruptly came to a complete stop mid operation on its own. …”
