2019 Volvo XC90 Engine Problems

“I purchased my new 2019 Volvo XC90 on december 15, 2018. On the morning of december 29, 2018 I was with my two children when there was a malfunction with the vehicle key recognition system which allows for the vehicle to start. My vehicle gave me the error 'vehicle key not found. See owner's manual'. This left myself, my 4 year old and my 4 month old stranded. The local fort myers dealer said they replaced the fob antenna. My vehicle then had the same problem february 14, 2019 leaving myself and my two children stranded because the vehicle wouldn't start. …”

“According to Volvo, there is a problem with the valve ring(s) not sealing, oil coming into the #1 piston chamber and excessive oil consumption.

That repair for this is $2,000 as the engine valve also has to get cleaned out. The vehicle started having issue with AC after 2 years and now the front evaporator has gone bad and with summer Time is when I realized of this defect. $5,000 repair for the evaporator.”

“Some back info: I keep the auto start/stop feature disabled. There are three identical incidents total. One about a year or two ago and two back to back a few weeks ago. The first time I was stopped at a drive through but in “drive” with my foot on the brake. All of the sudden the car completely turns off. Screens black, engine off. Completely black car no inside lights on. Within a couple of seconds, I hear the engine reengage and the car “starts” as normal like when you turn the switch. All of the lights and screens turn on and apple car play reconnects. …”
