Two problems related to seat belt have been reported for the 1999 Volvo S80. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

Air bag light came on. Had the car checked by a Volvo service garage. The technician said that the srs (supplemental restraint system) module needs to be replaced. I was informed the pyrotechnics in the seat belt system and the front air bags do not work until the module is replaced and programmed. The re-programming is a 'dealer only' service. This is a permanent safety failure which has life or death consequences if I am ever involved in an accident. Not corrected as of 03/08/10.
