This page covers 2 recalls and 24 owner complaints for the 2025 Volvo Xc90.
For the 2025 XC90, the most common complaints center on the automatic driver assistance systems. Owners frequently report the forward collision avoidance and automatic emergency braking systems activating unexpectedly, applying the brakes and, in some cases, steering input, with no visible obstacle, animal, or hazard present. Several of these events reportedly occurred at highway speeds, with occupants thrown forward by the sudden stop. Backing camera reliability draws similar complaint volume, with owners describing the rear camera as intermittently inoperative while reversing in parking lots and driveways. A handful of owners also note the electronic parking brake engaging on its own without driver input, requiring a manual release to proceed.
