| The sunroof drain has a design flaw that can cause water to enter the passenger compartment and/or electrical systems. this can present simply as water on the floor boards. but it can also present in more subtle ways with water coming in contact with electrical systems and being drawn throughout the car through copper wires acting as conduit (this effects speaker quality, radio function, cruise control function etc). most importantly, water can accumulate in the compartment under the front passenger seat that houses the dynamic stability traction control system putting safety at risk. we have experienced this with our xc90 but see many complaints regarding other volvo models. this is a significant safety concern but most concerning because of its subtle nature, slow progression, and prohibitive costs to repair. many people are driving around with compromised systems and are not yet aware, unable to recognize the cause, or unable to fund the repair. *tr | |||

| My volvo xc90 2004, driver's side gets flooded during heavy rain. during light rain, the interior will get damp. when i start the car, i hear a water slushing sound, coming somewhere from the car. my mechanic said this is due to a volvo design flaw. the sunroof drains are narrow, and it gets clogged and redirects the water inside the panels of the car. also the windshield drains have the same problem. i cannot believe a luxury car can have such a major flaw. i need the flaw fixed, since it is the manufacturer's fault. i am tired of driving with water up to my ankles-it is dangerous! *tr | |||

| A rain storm caused flooding into my 2004 volvo xc90 destroying the interior. the water damage came into the car from the sun roof i was told by a volvo service advisor that the drain in the sun roof was clogged which caused the interior flood. the problem is that during routine volvo maintenance this so called drained was not cleaned. i was never told that there was a drain in the sun roof . this problem cost $1900.00 and lost of my car for four days . i did nothing wrong and feel this is manufacture defect i would like to be reimbursed to avoid the additional cost of small claims cost your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. *tr | |||
