Volvo had an over the air update for all cars with the Google UI. Recently my speakers and other electrical components have been having issues. I took the car to the dealership for evaluation since it's under warranty. The dealer said the issue is a known software issue that started a couple months ago. The only software change my vehicle has had has been the OTA update. Now Volvo is charging to fix the issue even though they introduced it in their own update.
The infotainment will randomly overheat and a system warning will come on that begins cooling the cluster by turning on the air vents.

My local dealer has chosen to stop seeing my vehicle and now I have a malfunctioning car and now having to find another dealer will result in lost work time.
