2018 Volvo XC60 Air bags Problems

“On the evening of november 20, 2018 my family and I were in a car accident. My daughter was driving my husband's new XC60 that he had recently purchased. As the five of us sat stopped at a traffic light, 2 cars collided and one hit us hard enough from the front corner that the impact forced my daughter back into the seat and then propelled her forward slamming her chest into the steering wheel despite her wearing her seatbelt. No air bags deployed. The damage to the car was so extensive it took over 2 months to repair. Yet no air bags deployed.”

“Hello, thanks for your time. I purchased my Volvo XC60 in late 2020 from my local Volvo Manhattan dealership.

The contact stated that the vehicle had exceeded 40 MPH. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle was damaged; however, no air bags were deployed. The contact was not injured. The Police and EMS were called to the scene, and the driver and front seat passenger were examined. …”

“Rainwater leaked into front of vehicle and settled in undercarriage causing a short in the passenger side airbag and error message for gear selector. The warning light for the airbag lit up. The vehicle has been inspected by a dealership and the cause of the problem was a clog in the drainage system under the windshied. The clog was redirecting water down into the vehicle and destroyed the main wiring harness. My passenger's safety was at risk because the airbag malfunctioned during driving. Other components could have also shorted out. …”
