After all this, I was DONE with the 2025 EX30. The dealer convinced me that although I had adequately demonstrated the Apple Car Play (ACP)/Head Unit issue for 2025 that 1) Volvo USA was not going to give me the full value for the car and 2) convinced me that the new 2026 EX30 had resolved the issues with ACP. They (Kevin Flanagan, Owner of Smythe Volvo) promised me that if I experienced any of the same issues with ACP in the 2026, they would take it back - no issues.
This will be the SIXTH of several complaints on the same issue. I have much more to say and have all the documents. I just want to make sure we are tracking all of the issues.
Update from Apr 10, 2026 Filed for Lemon law officially with Volvo USA on October 11, 2025.
This will be the FIFTH of several complaints on the same issue. I have much more to say and have all the documents. I just want to make sure we are tracking all of the issues.
This will be the fourth of several complaints on the same issue. I have much more to say and have all the documents. I just want to make sure we are tracking all of the issues.
This will be the THIRD of several complaints on the same issue. I have much more to say and have all the documents. I just want to make sure we are tracking all of the issues.
