What 1995 Volvo 850 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Side airbag did not deploy in collision where vehicle was travelling at low speed, and struck by another vehicle running stop sign (impact speed unknown). Impact was on driver's side front fender and door
Consumer was involved in a crash at impact speed of 50 MPH, impact location front driver's side door, in which neither driver's side nor passenger's side air bags deployed. Driver was injured. Volvo says that impact was not sufficient to activate air bags. *ak
Driver's side and passenger's side airbags deployed while vehicle was parked. Airbags busted the windshield and sunroof. Dealer has vehicle now.
Cover that goes over the air bag is starting to curl up as if it is going to pop off. Dealer was contacted and stated that,the air bag was not covered in the warranty. Please provide any futher information.
We have witnessed this same problem on many other 850s. This problem is dangerous because it could allow damage to the airbag, from sunlight and debris. I feel that this is a serious problem that the company should address and repair.
