I've recently bought an XC40 and am struggling to get the memory seats working reliably. I've set up two driver profiles, tied them to two different keys, and set the seat position and it all appears to work perfectly. If I unlock the car with one key, it switches profile and seat position. If I then lock the car and open it with the other key, it switches profile and seat position as expected.

Come to drive the car a couple of days later, open the car with my key and it switches to my profile, but the seat doesn't adjust.

Has anyone else had this and figured it out? I've found a few other threads with people struggling with this, but no clear answer.

Mine overall work as expected with one exception. My son drove the car using my key fob and adjusted the seat to hi liking. After he used the car a couple of times my Key would no longer adjust to my profile settings and I had to re-save the seat positions to my profile. The seat positions using the buttons on the door did not change and it was east to re-position the seat and then save to my profile again.

I had the same problem. You have to lock the driver profile in settings otherwise it will revert to how the seat was when it was locked with whichever key.

Have you locked your profiles? it could be as simple at that to fix this problem.

Suggest if they don’t help solve it, you’ll reject the car. Might make them sit up and listen.

I initially had similar issues. One day I locked the profile, made a tiny change to the seat position, and then locked it again. I did this for each profile. I haven't had any issues since. Whether it was just a temporary problem which would have sorted itself out anyway, or whether what I did "fixed" it, I can't say,....

1/ Seat Memory-Unfortunately there is no current fix to rectify your concerns with this function. Volvo have informed us that there should be a fix between Late Oct 2019 and End of Dec 2019. Volvo Factory suggest creating new profiles, setting the memory, and ticking the box “Protect / lock my Profile” in the profile section on your centre screen.

4/ Loud Scratching noise from cabin area when using electrical components- The Factory in Sweden are aware of this intermittent issue and are currently working on a fix for this. I will update you once the factory have issued a fix so this can be rectified. There is currently no date for this fix.

That is just 2 answers from 11 different issues I have with the car now is 7 day at the garage my car is just

I don’t know what I can do please device me

My problem is that I will bring my key in the car and the car still has my wife's profile.
