2002 Volvo XC90 T6 from North America - Comments

The steering wheel was off center had to be aligned.

The door handles fell off had to be replaced.

The wheel bolts rust and had to be replaced, they rusted again.

The CD player broke was replaced

The inner panel of the driver's seat keeps falling off.

The driver's side speaker panel came off.

Window control fell in door.

All the door panels dented, they replaced them once and now they refuse to replace them again blaming the seat belt buckle not falling down properly.

Gas door hinge broke.

This car has great trunk space.

I love the seven seater option.

Though it's hard to use in an emergency since the pull out cargo cover needs to be removed to be able to lift the extra seats and there is no room to place the cover.

Cosmetically is like owning a plastic toy car.

Test drove the XC 90, smooth ride, somewhat not so soft leather seating... second row seating do not recline, leaving the passenger feeling a little upright uncomfortable, seats are short---just enough to rest your bottom... OH WOW, the disadvantage is the traffic noise comes inside through the windows very noisy inside with the windows up... hope you don't scare easily... Improvements needed sound proofing the interior from the outside... The XC 90 did have good pickup and go when stepping on the gas... All in All great SUV with some moderate adjustments,,, this could become a top seller at a later date. Oh by the way,,,, lower the sticker price... Its not your time yet Volvo for the SUV runners... see you in the future.

I Agree with the previous comment of the Volvo XC90 being a smooth ride car, however, according with the reviews in this site, It seems that Since Ford Bought Volvo, the Volvo owners satisfaction with their cars has been falling down seriously.

I just hope, that one day all Volvos become Ford with a Premium price tag.

To have had these kinds of problems with any XC90's interior someone must have been pretty rough on the car. If you can fault Volvo interior's for anything, it's for being too ruggedly simplistic - never a systematic durability problem like you're describing.

All in all you purchased a piece of junk. Volvo's are now made by Ford. If you were to purchase a Volvo from 1993 and under I can personally guarantee that these problems would not have occurred.

The above comment isn't true. I am a Volvo guy and also not happy that Ford own Volvo - but Volvo still make some amazing cars! Volvo are still ahead in safety, comfort and design. Most are still very reliable and I would recommend them. If your theory is correct, no one should own a Ford, Aston, Land Rover, Jaguar, etc, etc! Go Volvo!
