A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
The contact owned a 2022 Volvo XC90. The contact stated that while driving in stop-and-go traffic, the odor of smoke was suddenly present inside the vehicle and moments later smoke was viewed coming from under the hood. The vehicle was stopped and moments after exiting the vehicle the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. During the incident, the vehicle and property inside the vehicle were destroyed.
Volvo's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) lends itself to unsafe conditions. This is true for the many drivers who are used to driving cars that are smilarly equipped. For nearly 15 years I have been driving cars that were similarly equipped and when activating the turn signal in the direction where the system indicated another vehicle in the "blind spot" an audible warning sounded until the trun signal was extinguished or the danger passed.
The contact's father owns a 2022 Volvo XC90. The contact stated that upon entering the garage where the vehicle was parked, he became aware that the vehicle was idling and had turned on remotely. The contact stated that a message displayed on the instrument panel stated that the vehicle was remotely started by an unknown app. An undisclosed dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The contact was concerned for his family’s safety.
