Common Problem
Battery and Electrical Issues
A recurring issue with the Volvo S90, including the 2020 model, involves battery-related problems. The car uses two batteries: a main battery and a smaller support battery. Fault codes and system malfunctions such as ESC failure, disabled automated driving systems, and parking brake issues have been reported when the support battery starts to fail. Replacing the support battery often resolves these issues without needing additional coding or adjustments.
Software Glitches
The 2020 Volvo S90, like many modern vehicles, can experience software glitches. These issues may manifest as temporary failures of electronic systems, such as the Heads Up Display, steering wheel controls, and blind spot warnings. Often, these problems resolve themselves after restarting the vehicle or performing a software update at the dealership.
Interior Material Concerns
Some owners of the Volvo S90 have reported issues with interior materials, particularly the leather dashboard becoming loose. This problem has been noted in models as recent as 2019, and while it is more common in older cars, it has occurred prematurely in some cases. Volvo has been known to replace affected dashboards under warranty, even if the factory warranty period has expired.
Infotainment System Limitations
The infotainment system in newer Volvo S90 models, including the 2020 version, has faced criticism for lacking certain features that were available in previous generations. Users have noted the absence of a compass, difficulties with viewing music information while using Google Maps, and limitations in tracking the vehicle's location through the Volvo Cars app. Additionally, there have been complaints about missing SiriusXM channel information and drive modes.
General Reliability and Maintenance
Overall, the Volvo S90 is considered to be decently reliable compared to other vehicles in its price range. However, like many European cars, it can be expensive to repair. Common issues include frequent brake replacements, motor mount replacements, and occasional water damage to rear lights. Despite these concerns, the drivetrain is generally praised for its performance.
