I own a 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge T8 plug-in hybrid. An authorized Volvo dealer diagnosed an internal fault in high-voltage battery Cell Module E.

My 2022 Volvo XC90 (VIN: [XXX]) has a recurring failure of the center touchscreen display, which controls the climate system. Almost daily, the display shuts off while I’m driving and does not reboot. When it fails, I cannot use the heat, the windshield defroster, or the defogger. As cold weather sets in, this is a serious visibility and safety hazard. On XXX, at approximately 35,400 miles, I took the vehicle to the authorized Volvo dealership in [XXX] (repair order #XXX).

In the middle of a cold snowstorm the screen froze and started glitching. As I was trying to change the drive mode to all wheel drive the ESC off button triggered and ESC stayed off without AWD mode and screen was unresponsive. Had to pull over and turn car off and back on for screen to reset.
