16 XC90 Lemon Buy-Back T6 Momentum
I would like to share my XC90 ownership experience to see if anyoneelse has had any similar experiences, as I am considering buying another XC90to replace the one Volvo bought back under the Lemon Law. We absolutely loved our XC90 having takenfactory delivery in Sweden on 5Aug15 and spending 7 days with the car inEurope; but after the extensive amount of time w/the car out of service at thedealer and a near miss rear end collision triggered by the collision avoidancesystem I knew I had to take action.I alsowant to say that Volvo and the dealer provided excellent customer care duringthis whole process and made buy-back very hassle free.
I would like to see if all owners of Motor Trends SUV of the Year,have had electrical gremlins before diving in and buying another XC90. A few long term tests Ive found dont helpthe cause.Please let me know if yourehaving similar issues or are in the process of a buy-back.

I purchased a 2016 XC90 and have the following issues so far:
1) June 2016- Squealing sound when applying brakes- took the car to dealer to fix it but nothing was done and I was told to come back after 2.5 months
2) July 2016- Car odometer screen went blank while driving and car stopped and started after 30 seconds but moved at 20KM only. Car was towed for service, the guy at service said it was a loose wiring but when I collected the car, it said, software glitch.
So one more issue and I will start the buyback!

Best of luck with the buy-back! Mine met all the criteria on my state (30 days in the shop, same issue 3x+ times, danger to operate)
Keep us posted on the progress.
