Angry HELP! XC90 Reliability Issues...

Good Evening,

It has been almost year upon arrival of my CPO '16 XC90 Inscription. It is an awesome and stunning car, though it is developing issues similar to that of a Mercedes, meaning poor reliability. I do not know if it is just me having these problems:

First, since we took delivery of the vehicle, the Auto start-stop system just refused to work no matter what we would try. (If I recall correctly it only worked once). Took it in and after an extensive diagnosis they found a faulty battery which was replaced under warranty.
Fast-forward 2 months and the vehicle developed a nice leak towards the rear of the sunroof. Found a faulty seal and replaced under warranty.
Now, the check engine light is on and the code is a P219A...it baffles me how a vehicle with only 26k miles has developed a fuel-air ratio imbalance!! I have yet to take it in.

When we were purchasing the car it looked nice to us, but later we noticed a tremendous amount of wear and tear on the vehicle (was a lease, which were not informed of as well...). I polished and ceramic coated the vehicle and it looks like new. Not to mention the "#1 Volvo dealer in the USA"...(*ahem* Glen cove) refused to acknowledge (at time of sale) a chunk sized hole in rear tail-lamp plus a plethora of scratches and swirl marks.

Anyhow, anyone else having similair issues?

I am a new owner, but had reached out to a few friends who had the XC90 and love it with no problems. Two thoughts: 1) Just unlucky that a few things have gone bad on a "newer" car. 2) 2016 was the first year of a brand new platform/engine if I'm not mistaken. The "first year" cars often are more susceptible to some mechanical/quality issues.
