Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem #1

After several repair efforts, the passenger seat air bag sensor does not operate properly. When persons are riding in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag off light is lit.

Air Bag On-off Switch problem #2

We purchased a 2005 Volvo V70 new. We have taken the car back to the dealer 3 times because the passanger airbag deactivates when an adult in the seat seems to move around . The first time the dealear recalibrated the computer. The second time they changed the seat. The third time they had a field rep drive the car with an adult in the seat, while the light did come on the rep said that it was operating normal. I would like to find out if this is normal and if it is to raise a concern for the safety of the pasanger.

Air Bag problem #3

Volvo do not want to replace the recall airbag with the same original logo on the airbag. This logo is the “r” on the airbag. The airbag without the “r” is for a regular Volvo.
