Overall it would have been a great car werenit not for the reliability issues. Because of these issues, I'd probably never buy a Volvo again.

That really is a shame! Wonder if that's because the Swedes gave up the brand and the Chinese owners Zhejiang Geely Holding Group just don't have their heart (and minds) into it. |
I'd love to say I was unlucky, but while my vehicle was an extreme case, the forums are full of reliability horror stories (more so than can be explained just by the self-selecting nature of forums). My dealer had three other XC90s in the shop with the same air suspension issue when I was going through that particular hell. The loaner they gave me displayed the suspension failure message while my car was being repaired. I think this issue has been resolved now, though. I also think the 2019s have more processing power for the sensus system.
My favourite line from the dealer was that the car hadn't been designed for extreme cold. Last time I checked, Sweden isn't known for its warm winters.
