Glitches.. lots of them. all the time. Glitches. Nothing too overt or insurmountable, but this car glitches more than any glitchy phone or computer or tablet or any electronic device I have ever owned and I've owned some seriously glitchy stuff over the years. Most of the issues have been previously posted on these forums and I won't start a long new list, but it's little odd things like the radio volume control disappearing temporarily for no reason, or the slow glitchy Sensus service in general, loosing the the HUD position, no internet connection, Sensus screen unresponsive, charging plug stuck, voice control comprehension, speaker phone staying on after you have exited the car and walked away, etc, etc. Mostly my complaints are that Sensus wacks out and becomes unresponsive quite often until you reboot the car. Unfortunately you have to stop the car and get out to fully do this.
Now I realize that technology will often times glitch in general, but I've never had a car that had this many little niggles on such a frequent basis. It's annoying as hell. If this were a laptop I would have gotten rid of it and got a faster more responsive model with more memory. Quite frankly I think that as much is going on in this car, they need a way more sophisticated and faster computer with way more memory and an better internal internet connection that works and is also fast enough to stay connected and handle things in a modern way. The XC90 itself is a great car. It's just hampered by the less than state of the art tech part in my opinion. If all this stuff actually worked reliably it would be a dramatic improvement on the owner experience. As it is, I find myself apologizing for my car's odd behavior quite often.
