Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Purchased a new 2020 XC90 t6 inscription with the air suspension. From the first time pulling into our driveway, there was a distinct, muffled, aggressive thump in the front and rear end. The sound is independently from the front or rear suspension, depending on which is going over a bump. This occurs consistently when in slow speeds and going over an abrupt bump, such as a speed bump or an aggressive cut out in a driveway which is made for water run off. Once the suspension compresses, the thump occurs on decompression (rebound). I took it into the original dealer (Volvo of tucson). …”
