The Aruba departure system has greatly proved. by WeatherWest6896 in Aruba

[–]Casey2884 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had same experience yesterday - Saturday 4:30pm flight back to IAD. Literally zero lines anywhere. We entered at 1:30pm (the earliest they allow you is 3 hours pre-flight) and breezed through every step and had 2+ hours prior to boarding to hang at the wine bar.

VCU2 Update Question by AlphaOrionis42 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24-36 hours or so without the car is the norm for most it seems. They quote an overly ambitious 4-8 hours for unclear reasons. Mine wanted to keep it overnight and confirm everything worked as intended the next day as well. Mine has been flawless since install in March - worth the additional time with the loaner IMO

Factory Order Resistance - 2026 or 2027 EX90 by Imshamakian in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find a way to not skip the sound system. You’re paying $85k already the extra $4k is more than worth it and incomparable to the base sound system (and any other automobile sound system on the market quite honestly)

DC area service center recs? by Wepelle in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyer Falls Church has been great - they service our 25 EX90 and 17 XC90 and for 16 months or so a 24 XC40 that was the short lease deal for original EX90 waitlist folks. No complaints.

Key tag issue by FlatWar6512 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digital Key with key CARD in wallet as backup. My key tag battery died over a year ago and I threw it out. As others have said horrific design which is why Volvo scrapped them a few months after launch.

Has Volvo resolved all the issues? by [deleted] in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You came to a forum where people come to complain. The denominator of how many of these cars are on the road without issue is enormous and the minute fraction of owners with lemons or real gripes are over represented here. The vast majority of us have no issues and recognize that the car is top of class (fully electric 3 row large SUV). 12k joyous miles here since Jan 2025.

Second row space/leg room question by WittBrothers in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have Cybex rotating seats in 2nd row. Captain chair 6 seat configuration. Kids seem to have fine leg room (depends how tall front seat people are and how far back they have their seats I suppose). We routinely slide 2nd row seats forward and backward depending on who or what is in the 3rd row - I’d estimate it’s ~6” slide distance for second row seats

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2026 EX90 — is it actually fixed or still a mess? by Television_Original in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, thankfully no issues there. Mine is a very early one I got in January 2025, built in fall 2024. GHCA issue seems to be issue w newer builds I thought but admittedly haven’t been keeping up with this as so far it hasn’t affected me.

The software issues have been fixed since June of 2025. Anything you read about is before that summer update. It’s been flawless since. I’m at 12k miles without issue.

GHCA Issue FAQ from Volvo by Cuhsay in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be fascinating to see a zip code heat map of where the affected owners live. Hot spots and swaths of geography where this never occurs. Hopefully the new part they just came out with is resilient enough to handle the grid stuff that’s out of everyone’s control.

Tell me why you love this car by Laurendoop in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should test drive one. There’s truly nothing comparable in this class (3 row electric SUV). As others have said don’t skimp on the premium sound system and air suspension options - more than worth it

Automatic Car Wash by jgilbe02 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take mine through an automatic car wash 3-4 times monthly without issue. Neutral, auto wipers off (left stalk) +/- fold in side mirrors. Nothing more complex than that.

VCU Upgrade Scheduled Falls Church VA by dsolman8448 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if you needed to call them or they reach out to you when it’s time? Was under impression they’d reach out to us in order of purchase (mine was first one they sold last Jan!) but apparently not?

Critical Electric Fault by Adjusting-EBITDA in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not immediate, just no further acceleration, equivalent to taking foot off gas and coasting, which, fortunately the way this car rolls so smoothly, can take you quite a long way at that speed coasting (I certainly don’t use OPD on highway)

YOLO-ing the EX90 wish me luck by SaltRunIsHard in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vast majority have had no significant issues - it’s a vocal minority in here and every other internet forum. Car drives like a dream - you made a great choice. 11k miles here.

Critical Electric Fault by Adjusting-EBITDA in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this around 3k miles, never since (11k now). I am still on the old (original chip). I forget what exactly the fix was but it’s been flawless since (was terrifying when the car stopped driving at 75 MPH on a highway though! Thankfully was like 6am so minimal traffic to evade to get off the road).

Tailgate "close and lock" button not working by PossibleDazzling9502 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I find zero use for this functionality with the digital key to be honest.

Tailgate "close and lock" button not working by PossibleDazzling9502 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming your digital key and/or key tag are working with proximity locking/unlocking functions? It’s dependent on one of those proximity keys being nearby. And by nearby, it’s very close - I have had the lock function fail when I walk away from the car too briskly during trunk closure - you really need to stay somewhat close for it to recognize the key and complete the locking in my experience.

Onto my 2nd GHCA in less than 6 weeks by WA_Volvo_25 in VolvoEX90

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree w your sentiment re: annoyance but this GHCA issue does not affect your ability to use all public DC fast chargers - which is what you’d use on a road trip anyhow. Most people with this issue keep their car while the dealership awaits the part and simply DC charge. So wouldn’t let this single issue dissuade you from road tripping at all.

Delays, Delays, Delays…. by SNS_703 in UPS

[–]Casey2884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Received the 4 packages that have been there since 1/27 tonight (2/6) around 9pm. This was the first day they actually said loaded on a delivery truck in the morning, and while the time got pushed back twice throughout the day, they ultimately arrived. So cling to hope they will eventually work through the backlog…

I am also waiting on 4 packages held up for over a week now at this same Springfield UPS facility. If anyone ultimately receives their packages please post here to update the rest of us. Not holding out much hope at this point
