2016 Volvo XC90

The contact owned a 2016 Volvo XC90. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an unknown speed, white smoke began to emit from the vehicle as fellow motorists alerted her daughter that a fire had started underneath the vehicle. The contact's daughter immediately pulled over as all occupants exited the vehicle. The contact called the authorities as the vehicle was quickly incinerated by the fire. The contact stated that her youngest grandson suffered emotional distress as a result of the fire. No physical injuries were reported and a police report was filed(police report unavailable). The fire department extinguished the fire once they arrived. The vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard; the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

I have a 2016 XC90 T6 Inscription. The issue started after refill the engine oil and led to malfunction in engine system. The engine list the power and slowed down the car while driving. I brought the car to the dealer 2 times already and had been fine for 3 months. However, the engine oil light showed up to refill after 3 months. I am aware that other Volvo owners are facing the same issue and it is due to defect of piston and piston ring.

Started getting high coolant temperature warning, indicating to slow down and then after a short while to stop the vehicle. The vehicle now cannot be driven without the warning showing up after several minutes of driving after sitting. Of course comes on much sooner if it's been running before that. We had to pull over and wait several times during interstate travel. No codes are present using a code reader. It reads the temp at around 215 degrees when warning comes on to slow down. Continues to increase until warning to stop vehicle. I inspected the engine. A lot of symptoms were inline with a bad thermostat. Changed that with no luck. I again inspected the engine and found the broken tube. It was inline with where it's supposed to be attached, so it was missed the first time. I researched online and found recall 19V308 related to a previous version of the part. The newer version is installed (Volvo part 31238231), yet the same exact conditions are present that the replacement was supposed to avoid. Seems reasonable that if that's the case, it should also be covered by another safety recall. The pics also include coolant accumulation in that area as well as corroded plastic conduit for what looks like some type of wire for electrical component. I'm not sure what that part is, but I've sent a pic also of where it goes into the engine. Seems like the higher heat that the coolant can reach eventually melted/corroded the conduit. The wire inside is also not in good shape, but is intact still.

The exhaust manifold and supercharger on my 2016 Volvo XC90 have malfunctioned. The exhaust manifold has a visible crack, and the supercharger has seals that are leaking exhaust gases. Both components are available for inspection upon request and have been diagnosed by an independent mechanic who conducted a smoke test revealing these issues. The malfunction poses a significant safety risk as exhaust gases are leaking into the cabin, creating a dangerous environment that could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. This condition represents a serious health hazard to anyone in the vehicle. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. They diagnosed the issue with the P0171 code indicating the engine is running lean due to a vacuum leak. They also conducted a smoke test that identified the cracked manifold and leaking supercharger seals. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. It has been inspected by an independent mechanic. Yes, prior to the failure, the vehicle displayed a warning light for the P0171 code indicating that the engine was running lean. Other symptoms included unusual oil consumption and excessive oil in the intake system, which were previously diagnosed by a Volvo dealer as a factory defect.

The hybrid motor periodical will hesitate when accelerating from a stop, specifically it'll start accelerating then lose power for up to a couple of seconds before regaining power. This poses a safety risk if you start pulling out into traffic and suddenly and unpredictably lose power while there's oncoming vehicles. The problem just occurred for the first time about a week ago and coincidentally just a few days after taking the car in for its annual service, since then it has happened more frequently and I can't find any rhyme or reason as to why it happens. The vehicle will be going in to be checked out shortly. There have been no warning lights any time this has happened.

The contact owns a 2016 Volvo XC90. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 15 MPH while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that a turtle warning symbol appeared on the instrument panel along with an "Engine System Reduced Performance" message displayed. The contact called the dealer and had the vehicle towed to the dealer location. After two days of diagnostic testing, the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced due to engine failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

Excessive Oil consumption. Volvo knowingly allows for the sale and resale of their 2013-2016 vehicles all makes and models even though they know there is an engine issue causing excessive oil consumption due to bad pistons and o rings in the engine. They’ve tried to hide this for years and since has covered a limited number of vehicles to be repaired based on stringent requirements eliminating most of the vehicles that actually should be covered. This oil consumption issue is dangerously causing vehicle to over consumption oil possibly causing the engine to seize or costly repairs up to but not limited to $13,000. This issue has cost me excessive oil changes and oil purchases in just a matter of months since its purchase date. A warranty was issued for this issue but Grubbs Volvo of Grapevine Texas has stated that due to the requirements my vehicle does not qualify to be covered because of the time limitations Volvo put on the repairs. This is a manufacturing issue with defective engine parts which should have been a recall not a warranty allowance. Volvo is deceiving consumers. Not only is this an issue for repairs, this could potentially cause accidents should and engine seize while operating on a roadway and who knows how many lives are at stake. The years 2013-2016 should be cover 100% by recall no matter what if vehicle falls in the all models 2013-2016 manufacturer dates. This has caused me excessive oil change purchases of $189.00 and 1 liter of oil weekly after just driving 1500 miles in 3 weeks. This is a huge problem and is well documented and should be recalled and corrected.
