2022 Volvo V90

Volvo had an over the air update for all cars with the Google UI. Recently my speakers and other electrical components have been having issues. I took the car to the dealership for evaluation since it's under warranty. The dealer said the issue is a known software issue that started a couple months ago. The only software change my vehicle has had has been the OTA update. Now Volvo is charging to fix the issue even though they introduced it in their own update.

The infotainment will randomly overheat and a system warning will come on that begins cooling the cluster by turning on the air vents. I have taken the vehicle to Volvo several times to address the issue and they do a software update but the problem returns within a few weeks. The safety sensors will also randomly turn off while driving. I have contacted Volvo several times to no avail. My local dealer has chosen to stop seeing my vehicle and now I have a malfunctioning car and now having to find another dealer will result in lost work time.

My car has a Google system which fails to operate correctly & needs many system reboots.I've presented the shut problem to the service dept, I'm told they don't know what to tell me because they can't recreate the problem or the car's system is like phones, it freezes at times & needs to be rebooted, Volvo is constantly doing softwhere updates.Nov 14 I was driving on the highway w/the heat & wipers on. It was raining lightly. In a matter of seconds my side front windows fogged up & then the windshield completely did too. I tried to turned on my defroster but it didn't work.The system was frozen again.I quickly wiped in front of me so I could see where I was going, but I couldn't keep up.The fog just kept covering the windshield.I was in the middle lane going 65 miles hr. I took my foot off the gas & opened my window.I put my blinker on & tried to move over to the side of the road.People were beeping at me & all I could see was out the side window.As I got close to the side of the road I almost smashed into the large exit sign.I was driving almost blind.I called my son asking him how to reboot the system.He worked for the car place.I had to shut the system down & reboot.When it came back up the defroster came on clearing the windshield/windows immediately.I went to the dealership, told them what happened, how I almost had a catastrophic accident, I don't feel safe in the vehicle, Ive been complaining about multiple problems & I want out of my lease.The manager asked me questions, if my air-conditioning button was on which it was & told me again how the Google system in the car is like phones & needs to be rebooted, they are working on software updates & offered to make my next 2 car payments for me for my inconvenience! I went back to the car place the next day bc my cruise control only works intermittently I wasn't going to report it. the service manager told me there is no reason to have my defroster off.I made another appt for service.I don't feel safe in this ca
