InJanuary 3, 2021, I received a recall for the front driver airbag but replacement parts were not available. OnApril 19, 2021I received a letter the parts were available were and for me to contact a Volvo dealer to replace the front driver's airbag.free of charge. I called Volvo Cars to let me know the dealers in Nashville. They recommended Volvo of Cool Springs. I finally got an appointment on November 16,, and had my car towed to this dealer. I picked it up on November 9, with a receipt the front driver airbag Module had been installed. Aftera few days I noticed my SRS was showing"airbag Service Urgent".I resetthe SRS but the message is still showing. I called Volvo Cars and they agreed to tow the car to Volvo of Coolsprings to check the airbag. I picked my car up the clerk tried to explain the problem was with a failed DIM control module/display. The charge would be over $2000. so the receipt showed "customer declined recommendations. My SRS was working fine until they supposedly replaced the airbag. My mechanic looked it over and the airbag is not connected. Volvo refused to pay another dealer to check the airbag. However, Volvo offered to tow my car to Volvo of Nashville on Murfreesboro road , not the orignal dealer. I refused unless they took care of the charges. I now have an a front driver airbag that is not connected. I would have to pay a dealer to find out if the airbag had been replaced. i have been driving without the recall airbag. I am filing this complaint in

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN BRONX, NY ON 8/16/2017 THAT CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY 2002 VOLVO S60. THANKFULLY, I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN MY CAR. I HAD JUST LEFT MY LAST DESTINATION, MOVING SLOWLY AND DRIVING STRAIGHT FOR A SHORT BLOCK OR SO, WHEN MY 2002 VOLVO S60, WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 45,000 MILES, BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF NOWHERE AND RACE - ALL ON ITS OWN. I TRIED BRAKING (FOOT AND HAND) BUT IT WAS TOO SUDDEN AND NEITHER COULD SLOW IT DOWN. THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF MY CONTROL, JUMPED THE SIDEWALK AND PLOWED THROUGH A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. I'M STILL SHAKEN, THINKING OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, BUT THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE INVOLVED AND NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME OR WALKING BY. WHILE THIS IS SHOCKING AND SURPRISING TO ME, I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY MALFUNCTION ON CERTAIN MODELS OF VOLVO CARS. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER DRIVER'S HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE COMPANY ABOUT A RACING/SLIPPING TRANSMISSION BEFORE, WHICH SUGGESTS THAT VOLVO HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS.FOR SOME TIME. THERE ARE SO MANY SITUATIONS IN WHICH THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION CAN EASILY BE FATAL SO I AM TREATING IT AS AN IMPENDING DISASTER FOR OTHERS THAT NEEDS TO BE ACTED ON URGENTLY. I AM SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE TO INVESTIGATING THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO PRESERVE THE CAR FOR ADDED TESTING IF NECESSARY. I HAVE PROVIDED ALL THE PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT I POSSIBLY CAN.

FUEL LEAKING FROM GAS TANK WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE AND SLIGHTLY AFT OF THE FUEL FILTER.

I HAVE A VOLVO S60 2002- WITH VERY LOW MILES AT 114.000. IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT A MAJORITY OF IT'S LIFE AND IS TRULY IN MINT CONDITION. I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO VOLVO FOR MAINTENANCE CHECK UP (UNDERSTANDABLY) AND ALSO BECAUSE AN AIR-BAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT READS SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT. NOW I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT BASICALLY THE AIRBAG IS IN TACT BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR DIM HAS FAILED. SINCE IT WASN'T THE AIRBAG ITSELF I WASN'T SURE HOW THEY WERE RELATED AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE CLUSTER SIGNALS WERE NOT NECESSARILY REACHING THE AIRBAG. AS A MOTHER AND KNOWING VOLVO HAS A LOT OF AIRBAGS I WAS CURIOUS AS TO WHICH ONES WERE AFFECTED AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY OF THEM WOULD DEPLOY IN A CRASH. NOW THIS IS A COSTLY PROBLEM $2300 AS WELL AS VERY COMMON AS I SEE IN THE FORUMS. LIKE I SAID, MY CAR IS IN QUITE GOOD CONDITION ASIDE FROM NORMAL MAINTENANCE FOR IT'S AGE, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THE DIM TO BE NORMAL MAINTENANCE. ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE OF THE COST AND THE DIFFICULTY OF THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, OWNERS ARE BEING FORCED TO DIY IT THEMSELVES AND SEND THEIR DASHES TO SOME COMPANY IN CANADA. NOW IF IT ONLY AFFECTED MY RADIO OR INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC. WHICH IT DOESN'T, I WOULD PROBABLY SEND IT OFF TO CANADA TOO. BUT WITH IT HAVING TO DO WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR- THE AIRBAGS AND VOLVO BEING THE TOP RATED FOR SAFETY FEATURES, MY CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW AND I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN. THE THING IS, VOLVOS ARE SUPPOSED TO EASILY LAST UP TO 30

FUEL ODOR NOTED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR, TOWARD THE BACK OF VEHICLE NEAR TANK, CAR HAS 137,000 MILES ON IT, PURCHASED NEW, LIVE IN KANSAS AND GARAGE KEPT. NO LEAKS NOTED UNDER CAR, VEHICLE IS STILL STARTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (VALENTI VOLVO CARS OF WATERTOWN LOCATED AT 105 COMMERCIAL ST WATERTOWN, CT 06795), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

I WOULD ASK THE POWER TRAIN AND THE SPEED CONTROL TO INCLUDE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BE REVIEWED FOR SERVICE AND ANY UNKNOWN OR OTHER.

THE DRIVER'S CONTROL DOOR MODULE (DDM) HAS FAILED (VERY COMMON ON THE S60). THIS MODULE CONTROLS THE WINDOWS, DOOR LOCKS, REAR-VIEW MIRRORS, AND CHILD-SAFETY LOCKS ON THE REAR DOORS. NOW, BOTH REAR DOORS ARE PERMANENTLY LOCKED, AND CAN ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A NEW REPLACEMENT UNIT FROM VOLVO WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE, BUT VOLVO DEALERS CHARGE ABOUT $800. A USED DDM WILL NOT WORK, DUE TO THE SOFTWARE ADDRESSING SCHEME USED BY VOLVO.

TIRES BEGAN "CHUNKING". THROWING VISIBLE PEICES OF RUBBER WHILE DRIVING.
