“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.”

No other doors were affected. The door remained locked until Volvo technician removed inside door panel and made temporary repair on June 6. Replacement lock assembly was not available until Friday, June 10 when it was replaced by the dealer. Lock failure put safety of rear passengers at risk and I did not allow passengers in the back seat until lock was replaced. There was no warning lamp or message indicating lock failure. …”
