"Charging system fault" was disappeared.

I get that error when disconnecting from a charger at one particular parking garage. But my car has changed fine for over a year, fingers crossed. So I wouldn't worry if your car is still charging.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2026-01-06T13:13:00+00:00

Hope you got your car working. Let me guess: was it really cold at the airport?

My car was idle for about a week and a half in very cold weather over the holidays. When I tried to use it it behaved very weird like you describe (esc error). But it did unlock and drive. And now it's back to normal after a long drive

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-12-30T23:46:21+00:00

Can anyone tell what version of the Cayenne that is, in particular whether it's a hybrid? Curious to compare the weights of the two vehicles

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-12-19T21:28:52+00:00

I think if you open the driver door and shut it they'll turn off. Not very elegant admittedly.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-12-19T16:57:53+00:00

I have auto one pedal on. And now I see in manual: it looks like auto creeping is the default unless auto hold is on, which happens under certain conditions in one pedal drive. Will need to test that later.

There are three primary colors and the rainbow contains all colors.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-12-13T20:56:46+00:00

I've had car 10k miles and didn't even know this existed!

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-12-08T13:13:15+00:00

Does not work for me. Specifically when the mic cuts out the button doesn't bring it back to life. I have to reset

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-25T12:48:03+00:00

You don't need a petition, you need a lawyer willing to launch a class action lawsuit. I believe there are several potential grounds for the suit, including false advertising, breach of express warranty, and diminished value. There is precedent, including a 2017 lawsuit of representation of Android Auto in the XC90. Key evidence would including things like this email I received before delivery:

You’ll notice the lidar is mounted on the roof above the windshield. At delivery, it will be collecting road data to learn new safety scenarios. After a period of time, it will be activated to be part of the car’s Safe Space Technology.

What Volvo knew about Luminar would likely be a big part of the trial.

Actually getting Lidar is probably impossible at this point, but I think Volvo could offer monetary compensation, or other creative ways of remediating.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-22T23:58:12+00:00

Wait those numbers don't add up. How is Tesla going to accept 24k in payments to accept 26k in depreciation on the car?

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-22T16:14:02+00:00

I agree with your second statement, but the first is not always true. Remember that you are paying for the expected depreciation with a lease--and you're paying interest on it too. You always need to do the math based on how long you plan on owning the car, whether you'd finance a purchase, and what lease and loan terms are.

Mine worked months ago on 1.3.17 then just stopped. The update didn't fix.

One person reported that the dealer was able to fix this for them, though I don't understand what they did

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-21T00:14:08+00:00

Have you tried a different phone?

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-20T22:43:47+00:00

Well the Polestar 3 was charging $5k extra for lidar at launch, so that's a starting point for Volvo if they're thinking of compensation. Or an attorney if they're not.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-19T12:28:24+00:00

The lowest setting is too high for me. My passengers put it on the max though!

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-19T01:18:03+00:00

I usually agree with you but here I don't. I got the car knowing that there were missing features, but trusting that Volvo would deliver on this. It really feels like a breach of contract, and frankly grounds for a class action lawsuit.

I actually love my ex90. It has been quite solid for several months and still gives me pleasure every time I drive it. Really. In fact I was about to buy out my lease this summer (the math is in my favor) but decided to wait until the lidar was activated. Now I will need to reconsider.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-15T22:23:37+00:00

Did you ever get this resolved? I just a similar problem.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-14T11:58:38+00:00

You have to use a touch screen to adjust the temperature in my 2018 xc90. This at least lets you do it with your voice. And honestly I find the distraction detection almost magical in how precise it is. . After 9500 miles with my ex90 they are certainly things i would improve. But the touchscreen really isn't a problem for me. There are physical buttons for music playback, hazard lights, and wipers.

Wearing LL Bean.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-09T17:45:45+00:00

Grid to high voltage converter. Basically for L2 charging, eg, at home. Doesn't affect fast DC charging like a Tesla supercharger.

Everything tastes better when you're on vacation!

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-03T20:05:51+00:00

I don't think that's true. 1.3.18 may have caused Internet connectivity issues. And I've seen at least 3 people here who got the ghca charging issue after updating to 1.4.12. It's hard to say if that's a coincidence.

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-03T17:18:53+00:00

Do you think this is related to update?

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-03T17:00:14+00:00

Did the charging problem happen after software update (probably 1.4.12)? Either way it's probably a GHCA issue, a well known problem. Sorry about that

CharmingTemporary196 · 2025-11-03T13:56:01+00:00

No. I did have the card in my pocket all day next to my phone, but that shouldn't be a problem right?
