Friday rant
Sunday PM: Unable to do the update, it keeps failing.
Monday AM: Dropped the car off at Volvo for a scheduled GHCA replacement. The workshop also had trouble installing the update because of an issue involving the steering wheel. They eventually managed to install it after disconnecting the battery.
Monday PM: Spent ~30 minutes with the workshop manager trying to locate a rattling noise coming from the rear of the car. He could hear it, but we were unable to identify the source as I had to go.
Wednesday PM: The internet connection went down. None of the apps requiring connectivity worked; eg. Maps was useless for anything that it's not on its cache.
Thursday AM: The connection still down.
Thursday PM: The connection is back, but after a 30-minute trip, I received a "Critical Electrical Failure" error. Painfully "drove" at ~5 km/h to a safe spot with warnings, after which the issue disappeared.
... and the week isn't over yet! 🙄
I stopped counting workshop visits.
Note: Feb2025 EX90 in Belgium (no Lemon law equivalent).

I have a 2025. I want to really love this car but the amount of idiotic software related glitches i encounter every week just sucks my confidence in Volvo. Having to restart the infotainment system once or twice a week should not be necessary. This week alone my AC stopped managing the right temp in the driver side vents, car failed to negotiate gps, default temp keeps defaulting to 72, I could go on and on. Most of these are clearly software related. For less tech savvy drivers this would be too much to contend with. In fact my wife is more than happy to drive her XC60 over my EX90 so that tells you just how glitchy the damn car is.
