Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC90. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS OBSERVED AND THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (THE VOLVO STORE, 1051 W. WEBSTER AVENUE, WINTER PARK, FL, 32789) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 143,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY WIPERS CAME ON FOR ONE CYCLE. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE SAME THING. THEN A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT THE WIPERS CAME ON, STAYED ON, AND MY ENTIRE ELECTRIC PANEL SHUT DOWN. NO DASH BOARD INSTRUMENTS, NO POWER IN THE WINDOWS, NO TURN SIGNALS, NO STEREO. CAR STILL RAN, AND HEADLIGHTS STILL WORKED. PRETTY SCARY. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN, EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL EXCEPT FOR A SRS MESSAGE. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR IS HOT. MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AFTER BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR A WHILE. SHE PANICKED BECAUSE ALL LIGHTS AND DASH WENT OUT AND SHE THOUGHT THE ENGINE HAD STOPPED. SHE COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT!!!! LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WE GOT AN ERROR CODE FOR AIRBAG FAILURE. THIS IS NOT GOOD! *TR
SINCE THE DAY I HAD MY 2004 VOLVO XC90, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS DO NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY UNTIL I HIT THE WINDOW BUTTON THREE TIMES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT CORRECTABLE AND IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST ON THE 2005 MODELS. *NM
