Any advice is welcomed. Purchasing my lease...50k miles.
How much should I expect to pay for extended warranty from dealer (California)? Are these negotiable?
Thank you in advance?
Debating two 2023 twin motors in the Seattle area (prices here seem a bit above KBB/national average that I see others posting). Visor.vin has is on the lot for around 30days (guessing maybe because prices are going back up, or people are holding out for 2024's).
I am trying to figure out if there is that much added by the adaptive cruiser control and H&K stereo? Also thinking based on national averages and the age on the lot I might have some room to move.
2023 XC40 Recharge. I haven’t sat in the back seat since the test drive. Was in the back today since we were carpooling and noticed these little hooks? They can’t hold any weight, and I don’t see how they would interact with anything else. What are they for?
Hi All,
I’ve received my MY26 EX40 in mid April (for reference, I live in the northeast of Brazil, with a tropical/very hot climate around here).
Drove the car for about 15 days and then had to travel to Europe for about a couple of weeks and just returned today.
I’ve left the car with 38% battery and today, after I arrived back, fast charged it to 71%.
The problem is after I charged the car I drove it enough to reduce battery % (about 30 to 40km) and it has not lost a single battery %.
Even Google Maps is acting all strange predicting I will arrive in my destinations 15km away with 72% - which makes no sense at all.
Tried rebooting the center console, but nothing changed.
Should I be worried my battery has degraded?
Should I do anything?
Had new tires installed at 37,000 miles at the dealer.
My car is only ever been touched by the dealer. The last time was at the 60,000 maintenance interval.
I’m now at 67,000 miles, and I’m starting to shop for new tires, and I look and they’ve put the rears on the driver side of the car, and the front on the passenger side of the car. I kid you not.
I called the dealer to verify when the tires were installed, and I also verified that I’m not just an idiot… That the 235s need to be on the front, and the 255s need to be on the rear. Yes sir. Service advisor seems baffled. Unfortunately, this was two years ago and there’s really nothing that can be said. They are “getting back to me”.
The bigger question is… Anyone that knows about tires or anything like this, what does this actually mean? Is it just performance related, or is it safety related, should I just blow this off? It’s a really careless mistake.
April 21st (less than a month ago) I bought a 2024 CPO XC40 Recharge Ultimate with 15k miles on it. It is a beautiful car. I drove it 1k miles on a roadtrip that very weekend and everything was perfect. About a week later I suddenly get a dash notification at starting the car of "Drive to workshop Propulsion system service urgent."
I drive it to the Volvo in Seattle, and it takes them a couple days to diagnose the issue...and what they came up with is something I was not expecting--BATTERY FAILURE. The car is unsafe to drive and they won't return it to me. The car seemed to be driving fine other than the warning. There is a risk of fire with the battery. Apparently it is happening worldwide with XC40's and any similar cars. Volvo is replacing all of the batteries at no cost, but there is a very big wait time for this to happen and in my case it turns out that it is months long. I'm on the phone with Volvo now (at the suggestion of my technician) and have been on hold for almost an hour with no answer. I do have a nice Volvo loaner (NOT ELECTRIC). Has anyone had a newish car completely fail like this? Should I try to have Volvo buy back this car? This is my third Volvo and I love the brand, the aesthetic, but I'm afraid this will be my last Volvo. This is damn ridiculous.
Edit:
The tech didn’t know wtf he was talking about. I do need a new battery. But the problem isn’t widespread. He confused it with a widespread recall on Volvo hybrid batteries, of which there is a months long wait and there is a real problem there. So they called me today and said they messed up, and my car will be ready in weeks with a new battery.
this on a used 2024 AWD...
someone make it make sense, because these numbers don't jive (should be loser to 250mi).
which one to believe?
is this battery OK?
is there some other piece of info missing?
I own a 2024 xc 40recharge. When I go surfing, I would love it if I could just keep my phone, wallet and the fob key in the car, and just take the small metal key that is inside the fob with me (my wetsuit has a small pocket for that).
However, I tried it, and I find it hard to fully lock the car with it; when I pull the handle enough to fit the key in the hole, it seems to also open the door a bit, so that when I twist the key, it is closed, but it still looks like there's a small space. That does not feel fully secure to me and it seems like a car thief might be able to take advantage of that.
Any advice on locking the car from the outside with the physical key?
What do you guys use? My vacuum crevice tool is too big for it to fit under the leg extension which is awfully filthy.
I have a 2021 XC40 Recharge pushing 65k miles, but I know there are people with a lot more! For those that have a lot, have you had anything abnormal that needed fixing? I am not talking software or the odd vibration glitches. I am talking mechanical/suspension/electrical...anything that just failed.
While my miles-per-charge kind of sucks, the car still drives amazingly well. Yes, the whole android system is a complete disaster and glitchy AF, but mechanically speaking the thing just keeps going. Curious about your high-mileage XC40!
Hi guys,
I've been searching around, and havent really found what I was looking for.
I have bought a Volvo XC40 Recharge Extended Range Plus and want to fit an OEM folding tow bar.
I have found a towbar from a AWD - will it fit my car?
If any body has done the same, and can share part numbers I would be happy!
To do the coding i'm heavily considering Orbit since i already have an ENET cable from my BMW.
Br
I wanna get one, it's the perfect size, perfect amount of luxury and is good looking. Just tell me there is a way to leave climate control on when I want to camp in it for a night and I'll sign on the dotted line.
is this still a problem?
