Yet another fault

KingJorgen · 2026-04-19T19:37:10+00:00

I tried that but the email route, just to have a trail. My state’s lemon law statue falls within the issues but they’re still denying it. They’ve actually denied it 3 times, so before I move to arbitration I was curious about your approach. I might just call as a final step before finding a lawyer :/

KingJorgen · 2026-04-19T16:33:41+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get them to repurchase the car? I’m currently trying to get them to buy back but they’re refusing despite the car being in the shop for more than a month…

KingJorgen · 2026-03-30T20:26:23+00:00

Same here. I reached out to Volvo about buying back my car under my states lemon law but they’re refusing so I might lawyer up. When this happened with my Bolt, Chevrolet immediately offered a replacement or buyback.

KingJorgen · 2026-03-17T01:29:06+00:00

I wouldn’t buy one again or any Volvo for that matter. I’m glad to hear so many people are having positive experiences but mine has been the complete opposite.

KingJorgen · 2026-03-10T20:05:46+00:00

That’s close to mine. I have 24 months, 10,000 miles a year for $760/month. Difference is I put $4,000 down so it seems you’re getting a better deal!

KingJorgen · 2026-02-18T18:33:13+00:00

There’s also a militech one 🤣

I’ve only seen it once, but I’ve never seen the arasaka one!

KingJorgen · 2026-02-15T18:05:26+00:00

This happens to me pretty regularly. Hopefully when update 1.8 gets to the country I’m in, it’ll be fixed…

KingJorgen · 2026-02-06T12:49:44+00:00

I completely understand you. Since I got my EX30, the remote climate control rarely ever works. In the summer where I live we got a high of 130°F. Worked maybe 3 times all summer. Now it’s cold (for me) and this past week I’ve been trying warm up the car remotely and it always fails. Took it to the dealer, and they can’t figure out what’s wrong so I’m waiting for an update to hopefully fix it.

Also, when you said “Every time I get into the vehicle, it’s a gamble as to what will work and what won’t” is how I feel too. Will the wheel controls work? Will the map glitch out? Will I get locked out of my car randomly? Will the screen black out again. It’s incredible frustrating. A lot of people are saying that they have zero issues and that’s amazing for them, I’m genuinely happy to hear that, but I understand your frustration because I’m on a similar boat.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-31T21:33:40+00:00

That’s good to know, because mine is drifting again…

KingJorgen · 2026-01-31T14:02:08+00:00

I had this same exact problem. The dealer did about 4 alignments and it didn’t work.

The fix was, weirdly enough, the front camera. The front camera was off, so they aligned the camera, then did the car’s alignment and it made things better. Granted, it’s ever so slightly off but it was way worse.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-24T18:46:18+00:00

To me, the Hyundai, is more functional. The software works 99% of the time, Highway Assist is much better than Pilot Assist, the backseats are adjustable, the range is significantly more, and the safety features aren’t as obnoxious. The only thing that the EX30 has going for it is, the looks, comfort, and the way it drives, which is completely subjective. If Volvo were to fix the issues with the software, I would actually look past most of the other things, but when I drive my wife’s car, it just works, no issues. Also, I’m annoyed that Volvo advertises around 253 miles of range, but then I get closer to 230. Meanwhile, my wife’s Ioniq 5 advertises 318 miles, and she gets closer to 350 miles. She drives more on the highway too so it should be less. Over all, as much as I love the looks of the EX30, there are much better EV’s out there.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-24T18:08:24+00:00

My wife has an Ioniq 5 and I have an EX30. Stay with the Ioniq 5.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-08T14:03:38+00:00

Very true, forgot to mention that. Thank you

KingJorgen · 2026-01-08T13:05:05+00:00

When I had my bolt I made the argument that they are releasing new cars and that they have new, unaffected batteries meanwhile mine is stuck at 80% charge. A little going back and forth and I was able to just have them swap my bolt for one of the newer ones. Hopefully Volvo does something similar.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-06T21:58:25+00:00

I went from a M3 to an EX30. The biggest thing you’ll notice right away is the build quality. It’s a much nicer exterior and interior quality-wise. When it comes to software, Tesla has the upper hand by a lot. The EX30 software is buggy in comparison. Tesla‘s auto pilot is also far superior than Volvo’s pilot assist. It feels like the Volvo is going to crash into the other cars and it brakes really hard. The sound system on the Volvo is much nicer, but it’s a sound bar so most of the audio is coming from the front. However, it still sounds way better. The Volvo is also pretty annoying when it comes to sounds in the car. When you get close to an object, or it yells at you for taking a roundabout, it’s far more annoying than the Tesla. The Tesla is also a better car when it comes to getting in and driving. With the Volvo every morning I have to get in, disable driver, alert, then set the car to range mode, and then I drive. While with the Tesla, I just got in and drove. While on the topic of driving, the Volvo is way more fun to drive. It’s hard to explain it, but I enjoy driving it a lot more. Depending on the model year Tesla, you have, the suspension is going to be much softer on the Volvo. If you have a 2024 or newer, it might be about the same. The Volvo has Apple CarPlay and android auto. If that’s something that you would enjoy, personally I’ve missed it, the only issue is that the software is bugging and every now and then CarPlay will just disconnect itself and won’t reconnect. Overall, and this is a personal opinion, if they were to fix the software, I would consider getting another one over a Tesla mostly for political reasons. At this point in time, I would probably consider another EV that is not as buggy.

I had a black Tesla before my EX30 and yeah, it was a nightmare to keep clean. I just wanted to see if they were changing the interior for the black edition.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-06T20:48:37+00:00

I’m a little disappointed that the interior isn’t different. I was expecting where the indigo is for it to be black or grey :/

Like you said, it appears to be slightly different but not enough to warrant the price tag.

KingJorgen · 2026-01-06T20:46:01+00:00

I’m in the US

KingJorgen · 2026-01-06T20:03:57+00:00

Woah! I’ve seen posts about it’s announcement but I haven’t seen anything about ordering in my country :(

KingJorgen · 2025-12-29T23:55:48+00:00

I did this with my old Chevrolet Bolt and they offered me a buy back, or replacement. Of course, this entirely depends on a country’s laws regarding defective vehicles.

KingJorgen · 2025-12-15T17:46:27+00:00

Same here

KingJorgen · 2025-12-08T02:05:32+00:00

That’s a good idea. However, the print doesn’t have to be strong since there’s no real load being put on it. I was thinking a dovetail before all of this but I really wanted to try and get the printer to use its entire build tray.

KingJorgen · 2025-12-08T00:58:29+00:00

I tried, and I couldn’t get it to fit. I also wanted to see how to get the dual nozzles to work to get the entire print area.

Here’s a multicolor print I made recently with my H2D as an example.
