Reported at 111,000 miles, April 2007 Crash

Continuous air bag warning light. Car dies on road. Get fixed, then air bag light comes on again. Ran into a person who volvo airbags deployed without reason and she was injured. After exiting highway, car "died." I am lucky to be alive as the wheel stiffened up & I had to rely on the parking brake to slow down. Had to get a "jump start" to get home. Car is unsafe. Returned to volvo.
