Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem #1

- the contact stated that the 2006 Volvo c-70 convertible has had several problems with the airbag light continuously staying on. He has taken his vehicle to the dealership on 2 occasions for the airbag light being on constantly. The dealership informed him that the airbag light came on due to some type of pins in the door that needed changing. The contact did not know which door needed new pins or what type of pins. Since the pins were placed in the door of the vehicle the airbag light no longer came on. After the repair of the airbag light the abs light failed. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealership and informed the dealership of the abs lights. The dealership claimed that the lights turned on because of the ice and snow. The contact stated that this couldnot be the cause of the lights turning on. The contact stated contacted the manufacturer, and they did not to want to repair the vehicle. The contact felt he purchased a lemon from the Volvo dealership. The contact had this vehicle for 8 months and would like for NHTSA to be informed of these safety problems. The current mileage was 6000, and the failure mileage was 5500. The consumer experienced anit-skid failure. Updated 03/07/07.

Air Bag problem #2

My car was not in an accident. I came out to get in my car and upon starting my car the airbag warning urgent light came on. I immediately took my car to the Volvo dealership where I purchased the car. Volvo of winter park. I left my car. They kept my car a few days and I picked my car up on a Thursday. I drove my car to my sisters property on Saturday. The car did not move on Sunday and upon getting into the car on Monday my airbag urgent light once again came on. This has happened 3 weeks in a row. Each time I would return the car to the dealership and pick it up on Thursday and Monday the light would be back on. Today my car had been at the dealership overnight for a liner repair. I returned this afternoon to pick up my car. I sit down in it turn the ignition and the airbag urgent light is on for the fouth time. I have once again left my car at the dealership. In 2005 I had both my airbags in my pontiac sunfire deploy while my car was idling in a turn lane waiting to make a turn into a shopping center. It punctured a hole in my heart and chrushed a shunt that was in my head from a previous accident. It burnt my chest, gave me 2 black eyes and a melon on my forehead and fractured my nose. I do not wish to go thru this again.
