VOLVO S80 Air Bags Frontal

VOLVO S80 2010 Air Bags Frontal Report #10330010

VOLVO S80 2010 car safety problem was reported on May 08, 2010.VOLVO S80 2010, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . WANTED TO PURCHASE A NEW 2010 VOLVO. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, DEALERSHIP COULD NOT CLEAR THE CODE. WAS TOLD BY A TECHNICIAN THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTER AND THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME, VOLVO OF AMERICA WANTED THE DEALERSHIP TO WRAP TAPE AROUND THE CONNECTOR AND JAM IT IN PLACE TO GET RID OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I DID NOT PURCHASE FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS "FIX" FAILS RIGHT BEFORE A CRASH, AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESIGNED? APPARENTLY ALL 2010 S80, XC70, AND XC60 VEHICLES CAN BE AFFECTED. THE OTHER THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS VOLVO OF AMERICA DOES NOT WANT THIS REPAIR IN WRITING - LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE. IS THIS HOW THE TOYOTA UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM WAS FIRST HANDLED? *TR.Volvo S80 2010 problem was reported in STONE RIDGE, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLVO S80 2010 car safety problem was reported on Dec 17, 2010.VOLVO S80 2010, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with STEERING . I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM VOLVO OF NA REGARDING MY 2010 S-80. VOLVO SAID THEY WERE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE STEERING GEAR TO 7 YEARS FROM 5 YEARS BECAUSE "THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR INSUFFICIENT SEALING IN THE STEERING GEAR. THIS CAN LEAD TO WATER OR MOISTURE INTRUSION, RESULTING IN INTERNAL CORROSION AND OIL SEEPAGE. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A LONG TERM GRADUAL INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT AND NOISE." VOLVO DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY DETERMINED IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND DETERMINE IF A RECALL IS NECESSARY AS A SAFETY ISSUE--IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT ANYTHING AFFECTING THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LETTER FROM VOLVO WAS DATED DEC 17, 2010. *TR.Mileage was 6500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):YV1982AS7A1. Volvo S80 2010 problem was reported in POOLESVILLE, MD.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH. AS I APPROACHED INTERSECTION I TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP AT INTERSECTION. AS I STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL, I COULD HEAR ENGINE START ACCELERATING AND CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I NOTICED TACH READING BETWEEN 4 AND 5. ALTHOUGH ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING AND VEHICLE WAS MOVING FORWARD IT WAS NOT MOVING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED. I PRESSED HARDER ON BRAKE PEDAL AND WHILE CAR SLOWED SOMEWHAT IT WOULD NOT STOP. SO I DECIDED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO STOP VEHICLE WAS TO MOVE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO PARK AND THEN TURN OFF ENGINE. I THEN RESTARTED CAR AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.

VOLVO S80 2010 car safety problem was reported on Apr 30, 2013.VOLVO S80 2010, manufactured by Volvo Cars of N.A., LLC had a problem with AIR BAGS . "SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) AIRBAG FAILURE URGENT" MESSAGE CAME ON. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAULTY (R) FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, WHICH WAS REPLACED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE FAULT MESSAGE RETURNED. DEALERSHIP CHECKED CODES AND INDICATED IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART. I HAD THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S SERVICE HISTORY FOR THE CAR AND DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE SAME SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. SO INSTEAD, THE CURRENT DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ENTIRE SRS SYSTEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE FAULT MESSAGE RETURNED AGAIN. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME NOW AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT A MONTH. THEY ARE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT SUSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE QUITE A BIT AND HAVE DISCOVERED A RECALL INVOLVING THE CONNECTION FOR THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR MY 2010, BUT MORE TELLING IS A RECALL AFFECTING 17,000 VEHICLES ENCOMPASSING MANY MODELS MY 2012 FOR A WIRING PROBLEM WHERE THE SEAT HARNESS MAY BECOME DISCONNECTED WHEN MOVING THE SEAT. PERHAPS EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS A 2010 IT STILL COULD BE THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED BETWEEN THESE MODEL YEARS. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT THE SRS SYSTEM DISABLES THE AIRBAGS WHEN THIS FAULT OCCURS SO THIS REPRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 47900 miles.
