The volvo automobile was hit on the left side of the driver's side by a mercedes- benz ml 320 speeding at approximately 45 MPH. The sips driver's side airbag did not deploy ; neither did the driver's front airbag. The failure to deploy caused or failed to minimize severe injuries to my wife' s neck and back. When I discussed these circumstances with mr.
Door warning light or any information is no where in the vehicle. No way to know if the door is opened. Dealer contacted, and stated it was a design flaw. Problem still exists.
The headlights ceased operating on my 1998 volvo v90. After checking for faulty bulbs and fuses, I found NHTSA safety recall # 04v504000 for 1998 volvos of the s70/via/c70 series. I took my car to the dealer to check the reason for the failure of my headlights to operate. The dealer found the headlight switch to be faulty and replaced the headlight switch.
