Consumer Description

Vehicle systems, navigation, entertainment, heating, a/c, defrosting are dependent on Internet connection. The Internet connection shows connection, but no systems are available. Vehicle is operable, but driver distraction increases 10 or 20 fold trying to do simple tasks such as defrost windshield. Rather than being available upfront, so to speak, items are hidden in layers of menus. Unlike other vehicles in which voice command is an internal function, on the Volvo this is an Internet function, rather like Amazon Alexa. This is an accident waiting to happen. To restart system requires exiting and locking/unlocking Vehicle. Dealer said fixed with software update. Update did not fix.
