VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT FOR AIRBAG IS ALARMING SINCE MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY IN MY 2017 CAR ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR WAS HIT FROM REAR, FRONT AND DRIVER SIDE. CAR WAS TOTAL. SEAT BEAT AND AIRBAG FAILURE IN VEHICLE DURING ACCIDENT WHILE MOVING. THIS VEHICLE HAD A SMALL TAP ACCIDENT BUT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO APPEAR BUT AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY..

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON ARLINGTON BLVD IN VIRGINIA AND PROCEEDED TO STOP ON A YELLOW LIGHT WHEN A CAR DRIVING OVER 55 MPH HIT MY 2002 VOLVO FROM THE REAR AND MY VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND HIT ANOTHER CAR FRONT/SIDE FROM THE WEST BOUND INTERSECTION IN THE 3RD LANE COMING THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND ALL CARS WAS TOTAL. MY SEATBELT AND AIRBAG DIDN'T SAVE ME FROM GOING FORWARD OR DEPLOYING. I WAS INJURED AND STILL SEEKING MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER OCTOBER 17, 2017 WITH 2 BLACK EYES, BROKE TEETH, WHIP LASH, NECK, KNEES AND BACK INJURY. THE CAR IS STILL AT BEYERS COLLISION IN ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA.

I PERSONALLY, BACK IN AUGUST OF 2016 ORDERED A NEW 2017 VOLVO S90 T5 INSCRIPTION, AND TOOK DELIVER IN NOVEMBER 2016. I BEGAN NOTICING A LITTLE VIBRATION AROUND JULY TIME FRAME BUT AFTER THE VEHICLE FIRST MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDED SERVICE DIDN'T FEEL IT AS MUCH. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER WHEN DRIVING TO WORK WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 40 MPH OR MORE, MOST NOTICEABLY AT 55 MPH PLUS ON AN INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY THERE WAS AN VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND DRIVER SEAT SO BAD THE CAR (PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT) FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO MY LOCAL VOLVO DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT ONE OR MAYBE 2 OF MY OEM TIRES (PIRELLI P ZERO (PZ4) TIRES MAX PERFORMANCE SUMMER TIRES SIZE: 255/35ZR20 MAY HAVE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT THE OEM TIRES ONLY HAD ROUGHLY 14,200 MILES ON THEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES (AT MY EXPENSE OF COURSE) SINCE THEY CAN?T DETERMINE WHICH ONE IS BAD. I CHECKED THE INTERNET ON SEVERAL VOLVO FORUMS SITES AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL 2017 VOLVO OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER(OEM) PIRELLI P ZERO TIRES THAT COMES WITH THE 20'' VOLVO OEM RIMS.

CAR LOOSING POWER AND ENGINE MISSING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. FAILURE OF FUEL PRESSURE MONITOR.

MAIN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS DESTROYED, ENGINE STILL RAN- TEMP, FLUIDS, CAM TIMING, MASS AIR FLOW, FUEL RAIL, THROTTLE POSITION -SENSORS, INSTRUMENT PANEL. HAD CHECKED OIL TWO DAYS EARLIER, WAS NO DAMAGE. WIND SCREEN WASHER LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TRIED TO START ENGINE, CHECKED AND FOUND DAMAGE -WAS ONE OF THE SENSORS WHICH WAS DAMAGED - FLUID BOTTLE WAS OK. SOME MINOR WIRES WERE STILL ATTACHED. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THERE WAS ALWAYS A SLIGHT ODOR IN HOT WEATHER OR WHEN ON A LONG RUN- WAS THE SOY BASED POLYMERS VOLVO USED WITHOUT ANY "ODOR INHIBITORS", THE LOOMS COVERINGS DO BIODEGRADE QUICKER IN HOT WEATHER EXPOSURE WITHOUT AN INHIBITOR AND DISINTEGRATE LEAVING THE LOOM TO OPEN UP AND BE EXPOSED TO DAMAGE! THE HOOD INSULATION WAS ALSO DESTROYED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED TOTAL REPLACEMENT AND LABOR $2.,827.42

I NOTICED WATER INTRUSION WHILE VIA THE TOP DRIVER SIDE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD DURING A HEAVY RAIN. AT STOP AND UPON INVESTIGATION I NOTICED WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THE WINDSHIELD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME ALONG THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. IN DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM WITH A AUTO GLASS REPLACEMENT SPECIALIST (GLASSDOCTORS) THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY BEEN FIXING MANY OF THESE ISSUES FOR THE LOCAL VOLVO DEALERSHIP. THE CONCERN FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT IS THE INTEGRITY OF THE WINDSHIELD IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT END COLLISION. IT SEEMS THAT VOLVO IS NOT INDICATING A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I QUICK INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT IT IS A GROWING PROBLEM.

WHEN STATIONARY THE CAR WILL HAVE A WET SPOT OF FUEL UNDER THE TANK AND WHEN WE COME TO A STOP YOU CAN SMELL FUEL. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK WAS WET OR DRIPPING FUEL.

ON NOVEMBER 9TH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 VOLVO S80 TO CHURCH. SHE PARKED THE CAR BUT IT BEGAN TO MOVE. IT ACCELERATED AND SHE WOUND UP DRIVING INTO A TREE TO AVOID HITTING OTHER CARS. SHE WAS ALSO WORRIED THAT CHILDREN FROM THE SCHOOL MIGHT BE AROUND. THE CAR WAS IN PARK. THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TIGHT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER SINCE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THE CHURCH SECRETARY OBSERVED THE INCIDENT. SHE SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR WHICH WOULD INDICATE THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS ON. WHEN SHE FIRST REACHED THE CAR WITH MY WIFE IN IT SHE NOTED THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK.
