Consumer Description

THE SUV HAS HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. IT EVEN STOPPED ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER IN AN INSTANCE AND FEW TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO OUR HOUSE AND TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED OVER AND OVER (WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE PISTONS MISFIRING), THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT SEEM TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE ASKED DEALERSHIP/VOLVO TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AS IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT ALL. EVERYTIME WE GET THE VEHICLE RETURNED AFTER THE REPAIR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BETWEEN 100-300 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND MAKES THE SUV NOT DRIVEABLE. WE HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS CONFIDED IN US THAT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURED ON ALMOST ALL THE VOLVO XC90 FROM 2016 AND ONWARDS.
