2 Front Air Bag problem of the 1998 Volvo S70

Failure Date: 01/23/2003

Faulty dash clips that retain the dashboard to the firewall. I was told by the lead technican at bob pinkus Volvo in colorado springs, CO that this was a known defect. The clips break leading to a squeeky dash that Volvo is not willing to address out of warranty. I now have no confidence in dirving this car as I do not know when the dash will seperate, if in an accident, and severly injure either myself or a member of my family.

5 Front Air Bag problem of the 1998 Volvo S70

Failure Date: 01/17/1999

I was traveling about 15 mph through a green light. And coming from my left a 1988 chevy s-10 went through a red light at about 30mph. I had no time to reach for the brakes, and I rammed into the passenger side of the s10 . The whole front end of the Volvo was smashed . If I'm told you need a head-on collision for deployment of air bags. O. K. If the whole front end is gone why didn't the air bags work. Thank you for your time.
