Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Volvo S60

My son was in a side impact collision on the passenger side of his 2004 Volvo S60. He was in a rural area and either didn't see the oncoming car or missed his stop sign and the oncoming driver was unable to stop. The other driver is uninjured but my son in severely injured with a grade 3 dai head injury. He was wearing his seat belt. The side airbags deployed but not the one in the steering wheel. In an email Volvo told me this is how the airbags are designed and that the driver airbags will not deploy on side impact. If that is correct information, this needs to change. The only significant injury my son has is where his head hit the steering wheel, if that airbag had deployed his injuries would have potentially been much less. The airbags are already there, I don't understand why they can't just deploy on any significant impact. I will include pictures.

On June 1st another car failed to yield the right of way and pulled into the path of my car while I was going approx. 45mph. I hit the brakes hard and turned to the left to try and avoid the car and collided with the other car. I estimate the speed of at least 35mph at impact. The right front of the car took most of the impact. The driver's side airbag deployed and burned my arm. However, despite the passenger side of the car taking the brunt of the impact, the passenger airbag did not deploy. The passenger (my fiancé) was diagnosed with a concussion due to this accident. I believe the concussion may have been avoided had her airbag deployed. Volvo inspected the vehicle and claims for some reason the airbag should not have deployed in this accident. I suspect they are covering up a product failure. I have pictures of the accident available for your review.

I was driving 35-40 mph when a vehicle 2 cars ahead of me had to make a quick stop. I did not see this happen in time, slammed on my brakes and consequently smashed into the back of the car in front of me, who then hit the car in front of him. I totaled my car. The passenger air bag deployed and filled my car with smoke (or whatever that is) however, the driver air bag did not deploy. I was rushed to a trauma center and my injuries include my back, neck and I lost a tooth from my face hitting the steering wheel. My chest and legs are covered in bruises from the seat belt. I am very lucky, however I do not like to think of what could have occurred if I was at a high speed and on the fwy. And the air bag did not deploy because it was defective, and perhaps it was not designed to go off in this particular incident? I hit head on, no logical reason to think the passenger airbag going off as it did, but not mine or driver side.

On August 24, 2013, I was involved in a car accident. A car stopped short on the highway. The car in front of me hit that car. I then hit the car in front of me. I had only a few seconds to react. Another car then re-ended me. My airbag nor seatbelt pretentioners deployed. I had difficulty turning the car off. The car was totaled. Within a few weeks of the incident, I reported the matter to Volvo. They sent an investigator out. Volvo claims that sensors were not activated since the damage was above them, and there was not any problem. However, at the speed I hit, there is no excuse for why the airbags should not have deployed. Either the car is designed improperly in terms of where the sensors are placed or there is a manufacturing defect. As I understand it, other S60s (not my vid#) have been recalled for an electrical problem that could cause airbags not to deploy.

The contact owns a 2002 Volvo S60. The contact was driving 10 mph when another vehicle crashed into the driver side of the vehicle which caused the contact to strike her head on the window and suffer injuries. The front and side air bags did not deploy and the vehicle was destroyed. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the non-deployment of the air bags and the manufacturer stated that they would send an investigator to examine why the air bags did not deploy. She stated that if the side air bags would have deployed, she would not have struck the window. The failure mileage was 148,000. The VIN was not available.
