2001 Volvo S60 Air bags Problems

“My daughter was in a frontal collision with another car (2001 Volvo S60), there were no other passengers. Most of the damage was to the front left of her car; however, only the passenger side airbag deployed. Her speed before breaking was ~50 MPH; the car was totaled. Although my daughter was not seriously injured I consider this a safety issue since the velocity was great enough for the passenger side airbag deploy. Additionally, the side curtains did not deploy. Of what value is a malfunction safety device? …”

“My daughter was stopped at a red light and surrounded by cars on a four lane road. All of sudden the passenger side air bags deployed causing my daughter to panic thinking she was on fire due to the smoke and explosion. She exited the car in traffic and called me and the police. Nobody else was in the car at any time and no event inside or outside took place that caused the deployment. Police and Volvo dealer inspected the car and found no evidence that would cause a deployment. Volvo paid to replace all parts and sent sensors to get tested. …”

“The consumer believes that eh vehicle was involved in a frontal collision prior to her purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle has a cracked transmission, power steering leak, oil leak and two deployed air bags.”

“I have an srs airbag warning light stays on and will not go away. The electrical wiring for the headlights are faulty, I tried everything to fix them nothing works. I used an inline fuse with the headlight wiring because the bulbs the continue to blowout. The Volvo forum suggested the inline fuse to fix the issue, but it did not. One headlight remains on the driver side and the passenger side comes on and off when it wants to and it also displays dipped bulb failure or beam failure.”

“The contact owns a 2001 Volvo S60. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the entire instrument panel failed. After stopping the vehicle and restarting, the panel and the air bag warning light was illuminated. The dealer was contacted and they advised her that the air bag may need replacement. The vehicle was neither inspected nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and the current mileage was approximately 130,000.”
