AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
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. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS CAR HAS A HX OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. AS YOU CAN SEE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT(AT NIGHT) AS HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL OPERATED AT A DIFFERENT SEQUENCE THAN THE RIGHT ONE. WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT THESE LIGHT FAILURES ARE SOMEWHAT COMMON WITH THIS MODEL..OUR SAFETY CONCERNS ARE OBVIOUS. TH E MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROPOSED ANY SOLUTIONS OTHER THAN REPLACEMENT OF THE BULBS. THIS IS NOT SATISFACTORY AS THERE IS APPARENTLY A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
