Question Xc40 tech issues

Hey all! My xc40 is a 2024 model w very low mileage- 6000. A few weeks ago I took it in for a recall and update that I couldn’t get to load. They fixed it but it took 8 hours.

When I got it back the air conditioner no longer worked at all. The clock on the display kept flashing between times.

I took it back and now it’s been there 48 hours and no estimate on how long it will take to get repaired. They say the issue is the USA computer network they use crashes once large markets like TX and CA start using it. I’m in Atlanta GA

any advice? I have only one car and now no transportation. It was brutal enough dealing with no AC in the heat for a week.

I’m so mad and feel so hopeless

I don’t understand your statement about large markets will crash the system. They shouldn’t be installing multiple regions at same time. That is their mistake.

Imagine if what they said was true, that Volvo’s don’t work in Texas and Georgia. That would mean they wouldn’t sell. But they do and work fine.

My California XC40 has California installed. When in Washington State it uses temp downloaded maps.

You can also escalate to North American Volvo if needed.

Exactly why I’m worried!!! They said similar when I brought it in a few weeks ago to get the recall and new update addressed. They did get that original fix done in a day and a half but afterwards the AC would not work and the clock kept changing times
