My third XC90

marceloavg · Nov 13th, 2016, 09:24

Hi All,

i am now on my third XC90, it will seem odd but I had a lovely osmium grey XC90 Momentum 2015 which I sold for a house purchase. Probably the best car I've owned, it had digital driver screen, family pack, winter pack, 20 alloys (not huge on road noise), sold it with 15k miles.

After a few months and regreating having sold it, I bought a black momentum non PP with again family and winter pack and upgraded 21 wheels - the interesting story is that I swapped this car before delivery date yes...I know), as the dealer received a stunning R-design I couldn't resist...they did me a good deal on my black undelivered one, despite being already registered to my name and I got a:

Power Pulse 2017
R-design
Crystal White
Xenium pack
Dynamic pack with 22 alloys
Winter with HUD
Nappa leather
Cd player
Family Pack
BLIS
Heated rear seats

The car is a gem, nicest looking XC90 (for my taste) and now with a massive 30 miles on the clock having owned for 2 days.

The car, being a nice Volvo, showed a fault yesterday : SRS Airbag, Service urgent, drive to workshop

Have you seen this one before? I have an option to return and ask for a replacement or refund I understand, but being the drive, looks and spec I wanted, is it worth fixing? What could the problem be?

I trust factory better than dealer fixes hence my question

Overal, being my third owned xc90 (second I am driving) , I still think it is the nicest SUV on the market, stunning looks and elegance

Thanks

If the SRS fault persists get it seen to asap but it may go away and you won't see it again. Even if the fault remains it might be something trivial such as a bad connection somewhere. The dealer should be able to look at the fault log and determine what the issue is.

Congrats on the car, btw.

Congrats, I really like the white, it looks great but would be forever cleaning it.

Couldn't agree more

Congrats on your new model BTW!

In terms of the error message I had the same on mine and it turned out to be the forward facing camera being faulty. It took some detective work and a trip to Volvo UK to get it sorted. It's not something you should ignore.

Congratulations on the car, I hope to take the plunge soon myself.

I've had the new shape 2014 x5, the new shape rr sport supercharged, disco 4, and despite the few issues that the car have in terms of electric messages I can safely assume it is the best car in terms of image, driving comfort, looks (dont like the pretencious look of the rr sport and how much attention it brings)... I would thoroughly recommend going for it

I think the Q7 has the same image, a car people love to hate on the roads. That was one factor for me too. I find that drivers do not mind letting me in with the Volvo, even with it being a beast of a car. Maybe the increase in SUV's on the road is helping this too.

They said it is a problem with one of the rear seat belt harnesses and they are ordering a new part...should I be concerned about it?

They said I can collect the car and it is safe to drive

Hi, I had the SRS airbag warning after about 450 miles. Was told it was fine to drive but asked to drop it into dealer for them to take a look. Got the car back and the dealer said they couldn't find any issue, but had done (that magical fix for everything) a software update!

Seen the warning once since, somewhere between 4 and 6k.
