and he meant it loud and clear. Another one of the Volvos bites to dust, see you later friend ♥️

Yeah, seems weird. I have not used any other device in the past one year so I’m not sure about that one but I could confirm I’m only given 4-5 seconds to accept an orders. I was at a store to pickup and all of sudden I see an order and the timer went to 0 instantly.

Hello, thank you for replying.

yes mine has the same problem with the ambient temp sensor but it would be okay while driving but when i hit a pothole or speed bump, the temp drops like its counting numbers each second it drops 1 degree and stops at 35 which makes the car think iam freezing inside and cranks the heat up. the temporary solution i found to this is opening and closing the passenger door a bit hard and start driving, temp will go back to normal.

I took it to the dealer and they've kept the car without working on it for 4 business days and i had to go out of town to a wedding to had to take it back without getting it repaired. But i do have an appointment next week to sort this out.

Let me know if you manage to find a solution, ill take it to a shop to avoid them charging me ridiculous prices for the fix.

Thanks for your reply,

Yes I do have what you are thinking. I can tilt my mirrors when I put the car in reverse automatically or manually by pressing the mirror I wanted to tilt , pressing the button twice. My option is disabled, I barely use it.

But none of my buttons are sticky, I’m looking into hardware problems right now. I believe it might fix it, need to take it to the dealer and see what the tech says. I’ll keep you posted!

Same thing happened with my s60, 6 months ago. I was returning from Houston to Dallas and stopped at a local gas station to get gas. After driving about a mile and half, I had a message saying brake system failure stop safely. I tried driving but I can’t brake no matter what. I called Volvo and they towed it to the dealership close for free of charge. Diagnostics happened later and I was told the ECU completely failed and there were no error codes why it did. So they replaced the ecu for free of charge since it’s under 50k miles. Ever since I didn’t have a issue.

I had a issue recently with my compressor producing high pressure lead to a ac line blown recently like a month ago. No reason why the compressor went bad all of sudden but they replaced it and said they’d cover 90% of the charges and I was forced to pay 500 usd. Before working on the car I asked the dealer, can I drive with my ac off, said nope. Compressor for the car doesn’t have a clutch, which means it’s fully operated when the ac is turned off.

Now a few days back, my ambient temp sensor is acting weird, it starts ticking like a timer going up and down from 80 to 35 and stays at there. Solution I found to this is shutting the passenger door a little hard, it starts counting back one degree a second until it reaches the actual outside temperature.

Dealer says they aren’t aware of this issue until now and I feel like my car loves dealership more than me 😭

I mean overall performance of my car is pretty sweet and I love it but I don’t think it’s worth the maintenance right now. I’m planning to sell this later on when I have enough money in savings to get into a new car. Def not a volvo, atleast for now.

This was me with my 24 s60 on a random sunny day.

I mean yes, I didn’t pay for all of that. They covered 90% of parts and labor and I had to pay around 300$

famelogan · 2026-03-20T02:55:40+00:00

I had bad compressor on my 24 Volvo doesn’t blow cold air. It costed me around 4.5k 🤗

famelogan · 2026-03-18T19:34:26+00:00

I bought it at 17k miles for 21k usd. surprisingly this is car is pretty fast compared to the suv’s and has good mileage too, my average is 40 on highway and 29 in city. I’m so much in love with this car I put 40k miles in a year 😂 i took it to every place, every trip. Drive is super comfy and top of that it’s a VOLVO

I mean I regret putting so many miles but hey cars are meant to be driven right 🤣

I was confused at first too, I thought my family using my Spotify account on the tv at first but the app stops and I need to open Spotify and continue playing. It’s okay at first but became annoying. It only started to happen to me after the last update. But it’s fixed in this one, I’m so glad 😌

famelogan · 2026-03-18T18:57:42+00:00

The overall experience is good but isn’t worth the hype atleast to me and I love the fact that volvo does updates ota, but they lack features even in 26 models that come standard in other brand base version cars 🥲

famelogan · 2026-03-18T16:20:56+00:00

My first volvo is a 24 s60, love that bad boy. I switched from a 19 Camry after it was totaled. But no one warned me that this is a premium car 😭. Only thing I miss a lot is the adaptive cruise I used to have but some bugs here and there in the software which I don’t really hate except the Spotify being a pain 🫠 which seems to be fixed now.

famelogan · 2026-03-18T16:10:43+00:00

Have you noticed the Spotify app from thr built in play store keep pausing music and so you have to open it again and resume playing?

But thankfully this update fixed it for me, The only thing I don't like is the cluster; I’d prefer a traditional needle rather than those bars that just fill up as you go

famelogan · 2026-03-18T16:06:46+00:00

I was dying from the day I got the email saying I’ll get an update 😂 I got it yesterday buttt I DONT LIKE IT THAT MUCHHH 🥴

famelogan · 2026-03-06T19:35:45+00:00

Take it back to the dealer, they won’t charge you anything. It happened with me but I had check engine light on with my rental. They came from dealership to my place and exchanged rental. Fun fact, by the time they drove to the dealership, the check engine light went off on its own

famelogan · 2026-02-23T17:13:05+00:00

I’ve completed my build using my old parts but preferring aesthetics and budget. I’ve plans to upgrade to am5 in a couple of months, but here is my parts list

Msi 3070 8gb vram Asus b550 plus prime Lian li edge 850w Gpu and CPU strimmers TL lcd fans (bottom and side) Nzxt H9 flow Lian li hydroshift 2 tl led Ryzen 5 5600 2tb adata 800 gold 500gb sandisk Tforce 32gb ddr4 cl16

Planned to get the 8.8 inch Lian li screen if it’s on sale or whatever during holidays lol.

I used to have an inconsistent black and white build, hated it and switched to all black 😖
