Volvo is replacing the central computer in all 2025 EX90s for free due to persistent software issues.
Owners report serious problems, including malfunctioning phone-as-a-key, unreliable keyfob, and infotainment glitches.
The new computer is based on Nvidia Drive AGX Orin, offering over 500 TOPS for autonomous driving ambitions.
Volvo's first-generation software-defined vehicle (SDV) approach has led to widespread customer dissatisfaction.
One owner described her EX90 as a 'dumpster fire inside a train wreck,' citing constant connectivity and performance issues.
Volvo's reputation for reliability has been damaged, with some owners seeking buybacks due to unresolved problems.
The company aims to focus on perfecting software for the new hardware to prevent future issues.
A Volvo spokesperson emphasized the commitment to continuous improvement and customer benefits from upgrades.
