Air Bag problem #1

The contact owns a 2000 Volvo C70. The contact stated that while the vehicle was started, the driver's side air bag deployed inadvertently. The driver sustained a left arm inquiry. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 271,000.

Air Bag problem #2

2000 Volvo C70 convertible has needed two airbags replaced in less than 5000 miles. These are not accident related. Volvo informs me this is ordinary and they hold no responsibility. I have never had a car that needed airbag replacement. Too be such a "safe" car this doesn't seem correct. Do they have a recall or manufacturing defect? what can be done other than paying $800. 00 every five thousand miles? car has 50000 miles on it.
