Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving out of a toll booth and was accelerating. A tractor trailer began coming closer to me. I moved over to avoid impact with the truck. In the process my front and rear drivers side wheels rubbed against a curb causing the side airbags to deploy. There was no damage to the vehicle other than a two inch scrape on the rims. The employees in the body shop and service department stated that the airbags should not have deployed due to the wheels rubbing curb. The woman at Volvo stated that the car detected imminent damage which caused the airbags to deploy. …”
