OnApril 19, 2021I received a letter the parts were available were and for me to contact a Volvo dealer to replace the front driver's airbag.free of charge. I called Volvo Cars to let me know the dealers in Nashville. They recommended Volvo of Cool Springs. I finally got an appointment on November 16,, and had my car towed to this dealer. I picked it up on November 9, with a receipt the front driver airbag Module had been installed. Aftera few days I noticed my SRS was showing\"airbag Service Urgent\".I resetthe SRS but the message is still showing. I called Volvo Cars and they agreed to tow the car to Volvo of Coolsprings to check the airbag. I picked my car up the clerk tried to explain the problem was with a failed DIM control module/display. The charge would be over $2000. so the receipt showed \"customer declined recommendations. My SRS was working fine until they supposedly replaced the airbag. My mechanic looked it over and the airbag is not connected. Volvo refused to pay another dealer to check the airbag. However, Volvo offered to tow my car to Volvo of Nashville on Murfreesboro road , not the orignal dealer. I refused unless they took care of the charges. I now have an a front driver airbag that is not connected. I would have to pay a dealer to find out if the airbag had been replaced. i have been driving without the recall airbag. I am filing this complaint in case of accident and to let you know the airbag recall has not been corrected. You can never talk to a mechanic at Volvo of Cool Springs. I called numerous times and left messages for the mechanic or manager to return my call.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2002","productMake":"VOLVO","productModel":"S60","manufacturer":"Volvo Car USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11458708,"manufacturer":"Volvo Car USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/28/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"03/28/2022","vin":"YV1RS61R822","components":"AIR BAGS","summary":"2002 VOLVO S60.

NOW I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT BASICALLY THE AIRBAG IS IN TACT BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR DIM HAS FAILED. SINCE IT WASN'T THE AIRBAG ITSELF I WASN'T SURE HOW THEY WERE RELATED AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE CLUSTER SIGNALS WERE NOT NECESSARILY REACHING THE AIRBAG. AS A MOTHER AND KNOWING VOLVO HAS A LOT OF AIRBAGS I WAS CURIOUS AS TO WHICH ONES WERE AFFECTED AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY OF THEM WOULD DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

THE THING IS, VOLVOS ARE SUPPOSED TO EASILY LAST UP TO 300,000. BUT WITH FAULTY COMPUTERS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG (EVEN THOUGH THE AIRBAG ITSELF IS FINE), OWNERS ARE BEING FORCED TO RID THEIR CARS, TRADE THEM IN, ETC. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
