2013 Volvo XC60 Air bags Problems

“Car leaks water inside,coming from both a pillars .this is where the curtain airbags are located. This clearly is a safety concern. I have done a little research and Volvo of north america where sued in nj for this type of water intrusion problem. This occurs when it rains and car just sits while parked .”

“A month ago purchased a 2013 Volvo XC60 from a used car dealership. On 12/9/19 the airbag icon appeared which said, srs airbag service urgent. Since I live in new york and bought this vehicle out of state in ( virginia) , I called a Volvo dealership near me about the problem. They confirmed that the previous owner that purchased the vehicle had answered the recall and it was than fixed in 2015. I told them if that was the case , than why is this problem happening again, and is 2019. …”

“Windshield leaks while raining. Mold getting into headliner and the drips affect my visibility. The water intrudes into airbag area and could affect airbag lifespan and efficiency. Can affect electrical safety features in car. Cannot see while driving . Other people all over internet have this issue . Reported it to dealer.”

“Water leakage from top of windsheild due to common failure of sealant (known to Volvo) falls directly into steering wheel airbag and, from there, flows into the seam between airbag module and the steering wheel and collecting behind the airbag subjecting the electrical connections of the airbag to moisture trapped behind the airbag. See photos. No warning lights yet. Vehicle is available for inspection by nhtsa.”

“During airbag deployment, the driver’s hand was burned with blistering. I believe hot gas or chemicals vented abnormally. This caused a painful injury requiring treatment.”
