VOLVO S60 Seat Belts

VOLVO S60 2013 Seat Belts Report #10556780

VOLVO S60 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2013.VOLVO S60 2013, manufactured by Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC had a problem with SEAT BELTS . WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOES NOT USE SEAT BELT, THE CAR DOES NOT ISSUE ANY AUDIBLE WARNING (EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, E.G. AT 30 MPH). NOTE THAT, IN CONTRAST, THE AUDIBLE WARNING WILL RING FOR 6 SECONDS IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT USE SEAT BELT. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND VOLVO NORTH AMERICA AT (201) 768-7300, THE REPLY WAS THAT THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT IS DESIGNED TO WORK. THE DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE SAME BEHAVIOR WAS OBSERVED ON OTHER VOLVO CARS ON HIS SITE. THE RECEPTIONIST AT VOLVO NORTH AMERICA CONFIRMED TO ME THAT "THE AUDIBLE WARNING FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS ELIMINATED" AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE EVEN FOR THE DEALER TO ENABLE IT. THEN, MY QUESTION IS, WHY DOES THE DESIGN ENGINEERS AT VOLVO THINK IT IS OK IF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOES NOT USE SAFETY BELT AND THERE IS NO NEED TO ISSUE A REMINDER?? IN OTHER CARS (E.G., I TESTED ON MERCEDES BENZ C300 4MATIC 2013 MODEL), WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOES NOT USE SEAT BELT, THE CAR REMINDS WITH A AUDIBLE WARNING. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10000 miles. Volvo S60 2013 problem was reported in BLACKSBURG, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 30 mph.

VOLVO S60 2013 car safety problem was reported on Feb 07, 2014.VOLVO S60 2013, manufactured by Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 - 40 MPH IN MY 2013 VOLVO S60 WHEN I STRUCK AN SUV FROM BEHIND. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE DEPLOYED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DIRECT REAR END COLLISION. AFTER THE COLLISION MY INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED THE WARNING MESSAGE 'SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT'. MY VOLVO S60 IS EQUIPPED WITH THE STANDARD CITY SAFETY AUTO BRAKING SYSTEM, WHICH DID NOT ENGAGE AT ANY POINT TO AVOID/REDUCE THE IMPACT OF THE COLLISION. THE AUTO BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK ABOVE CERTAIN SPEEDS, I AM AWARE; HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AIRBAGS WERE NOT PROPERLY WORKING CONSIDERING THAT IT SEEMS MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED ABOVE THE AUTO BRAKING THRESHOLD. THERE WERE NO AIRBAG WARNINGS BEFORE THE COLLISION. FOR REFERENCE, THERE WAS A NEARLY IDENTICAL COLLISION IN THE SAME INTERSECTION JUST MINUTES PRIOR AND THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IN THE COLLISION HAD DEPLOYED AIRBAGS. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10289 miles.

NO SPARE TIRES IN NEW CARS PUTS US CONSUMERS IN DANGER YOU SHOULD BE AS DEEPLY CONCERNED, AS I AM, OF THE GROWING TREND AMONG CAR MANUFACTURERS TO LEAVE OUT SPARE TIRES. IN FACT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE SPACE TO CARRY THEM. *TR DISCOUNTING THE QUESTIONABLE BENEFIT TO THEIR BOTTOM LINE THIS IS A TREND THAT PUTS US DRIVERS IN CONSIDERABLE DANGER. IT ALSO LEAVES THE US CONSUMER AT THE MERCY OF TOW TRUCK OPERATORS AND PRICE GOUGING BY THE DEALERS WHERE THE CAR IS TOWED. INSTEAD OF A SPARE THEY PROVIDE A FORM OF ?FIX-A-FLAT? THAT PUMPS A SEALANT AND AIR INTO THE PUNCTURED TIRE. THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH TIRES WITH A SMALL PUNCTURE IN THE TREAD NOT ON LARGER HOLES OR SIDEWALL DAMAGE. IT ALSO CAUSES IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO POSSIBLY SALVAGEABLE TIRE. THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO CALL AND WAIT FOR EMERGENCY HELP, WHICH COULD TAKE HOURS, DAYS OR BE NON-EXISTENT IN MANY AREAS. YOU CAN EASILY IMAGINE MANY SCENARIOS WHERE THE LACK OF A SPARE TIRE, AND WAITING HOURS FOR A TOW, COULD BE MORE THAN A BIG INCONVENIENCE, BUT A THREAT TO LIFE. A FLAT TIRE ON A LONG DESERTED STRETCH OF ROAD LATE AT NIGHT. A FLAT IN A BAD SECTION OF THE CITY OR A SECTION WHERE ROAD DEBRIS CAUSES MULTIPLE VEHICLES TO GET FLATS AT THE SAME TIME OVERWHELMING EMERGENCY SERVICES. FOR THE SAFETY OF US DRIVERS SPARE TIRES MUST BE SUPPLIED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON ALL CARS SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 114 miles.
