Is 19 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2011 and 2026, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2011 has 19 complaints on file, more than the 2010 (12) and more than the 2013 (11). Of the 13 model years of the Volvo XC90 we cover, the 2016 has the most (197). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
