The Google/Android (IHU) electrical system controls the entire car: brakes, engine, safety features, AC/Heat, etc. It is unreliable after 4 repair attempts. Problems started date of delivery (9/6/22) & have been ongoing. The ones that directly affect safety are the auto braking activating without cause, blind spot warning missing motorcycles, lane keeping will pull car towards a hazard in middle of road when you swerve to avoid it and the Google/Android system in general malfunctioning. I live in south Florida and I can assure you that air conditioning is a safety concern, especially in people like me who have medical conditions in which excessive heat exposure can result in an ER visit. My AC has failed upon starting the car as well as following the rebooting of the Google/Android system. The rebooting of the system must be done whenever the system malfunctions & it is wise to pull off the road to do it because everything but engine shuts down during the procedure. I have had to do this several times sitting off the side of the road & the system still wasn't working. It is not safe to have to pull off road so frequently. The automatic braking was particularly frightening, as both I and the car in front of me were both slowing for a stoplight, there was at least 5 car lengths between us & the distance between us was not narrowing. My car suddenly braked. Had someone been close behind me they would likely have rear-ended my car. They might have also assumed I brake-checked them & reacted with anger. Requested Volvo corporate involvement for 4th repair attempt & IHU was replaced. System began malfunctioning again, but blind spot worked. The Google system is apparently unstable, as the 2nd loaner car's backup camera & cross traffic warning froze & failed to alert. Dates: 9-6-22 to 1-25-23 (date they took car for repair try #5). About 4000 miles on it. Volvo says they can't replicate concerns. I have video of some malfunctions & sent to dealer.

The vehicle is basically new and I have only had it a few months. It has already been with the dealer three times because of technical/computer/infotainment issues. The dealer had the vehicle for about a week on each occasion. Today, I started to break so I could turn the car around and park it in the parking lot. I was moving very slowly, as you would expect in such a case. However, the car didn't stop but instead lurched forward in full throttle causing me to crash into a breezeblock wall. The automatic warning system did not sound and the crash detection system never engaged. I haven't been in an accident for 30 years and was not distracted when this happened. If the vehicle hadn't already had issues, I would accept user error as the problem, however in light of the car's history, I have doubts.

2 incidents occurred during the week of Christmas (1 before and 1 after) in which the Rear Auto Brake engaged without warning or provocation. There were 0 obstacles, vehicles, or persons in the vicinity which would have required an alert or braking. The 1st occurred in a parking lot and the 2nd occurred when backing out of a private garage. In each instance, another adult aside from the driver witnessed the malfunction. 1 incident occurred in January in which the Rear Auto Brake engaged without warning and without presence of obstacles, vehicles, or persons in the vicinity which would have warranted an alert or braking. At each incident, the words Rear Auto Brake Intervention or something similar appeared on the dashboard. The braking and screen message occurred with warning or any cause for the sudden and forceful automatic braking. After the 3rd incident, the owner found the option to disable the Rear Auto Brake Intervention feature but this needs to be done at each new drive. No accidents occurred. The owner took the car to the dealer's service department. The service department was unable to duplicate the issue nor were they able to find any record of the error in the vehicle's "black box." The car remains with the service department due to subsequent issues experienced and reported on this site by the owner.
