Been trying to get the airbags serviced and replace since I received the notice from Volvo on Dec.14 2021. I have made several appointments in my area to get this matter fixed, Dealers in my area either don't have replacement in stock or don't know of the recall contract Volvo CarUSA LLC they could not help me, now I am receiving text message on dash saying SRS Airbag service Urgent. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Received an airbag recall. There is no local dealer but there are authorized non-dealer service shops that do replace airbags. Under the recall a Volvo dealer must do the replacement. The nearest Volvo dealer is 300 miles away. Volvo will only reimburse for 25 miles of towing. The recall states "If you are unable to have this procedure performed without charge....". Towing cost would be approximately $800.00. How do I, and several others in my area, resolve this issue?

I was notified of the recall. Because I live 300 miles away from the nearest volvo dealership, there is no option for me to replace the airbag free of charge. Additionally, there is no plan in place to provide me with a safe vehicle until such a time that my volvo can be repaired. Until I undertake a great risk by traveling 300 miles at great inconvenience and expense, to have this problem resolved, I am expected to take a daily risk by driving this unsafe vehicle.

Heater core burst causing severe burn on drivers right foot. An inch and a half deep puddle of boiling hot antifreeze poured out with no warning from center console over gas pedal. Passenger floor area also had boiling antifreeze. Daughter was driving and taken to hospital treated for second degree burns.

THERE IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS 2001 VOLVO V70 XC AWD TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. VOLVO AND THE NHTSA BOTH KNOW ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISTION SLIPS BAD AND STOPS WORKING AND LOSES POWER AND THE DEALERS STATES THE COMPUTER UPDATES WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AS EVEN TOLD BYE THE DEALER ITS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT VOLVO REFUSES TO RECTIFY UNFORTUNATELY. BUT THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE AT THIS POINT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS ? I WANT A REBUILT OR NEW SAFE TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AT THE COST OF VOLVO FOR NOT FIXING THE ONGOING PROBLEMS THEY KNEW ABOUT BACK IN 2001 AND THERE COMPLETE WRONG MAINTENANCE ON THE TRANSMISSION STATING NOT TO CHANGE THE FLUID UNTIL 90K. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA HAS MANY COMPLAINTS IN REFRANCE TO THIS SAME ISSUE WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ?

TRANSMISSION HAS HAD PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HWY AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, THEN STOPPED. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AND ALTERNATOR WHICH WOULD COST MORE THAN IT IS WORTH. OUR MECHANIC HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF 2001S WITH PROBLEMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN VOLVO FOR NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. NOW THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR IS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY UNUSED.
