      <description>I live 5 hours from the closest Volvo dealership so I called to see if they could send me the the air bag that has been recalled. The airbag is very easy to be replaced in less then 10 minutes. Because of this it is absolutely absurd for me to travel for ten hours to get something done that I can do myself in 10 minutes. They said I can buy the airbag and they could send it. But this being a recal</description>

      <description>I have been requesting the recall service of my vehicle since November 2020. I was first told by the dealership they were delayed in getting the replacement airbag but should in January. Called in January and they still didn’t have them and after asking I was put on a list and told they would contact me. I checked back in August 2021 and was told I was still on the list. I have not been contacted </description>

      <description>This is subject to a recall R10136  NHTSA Recall 21v-800  We have set appointments twice to have this done only to be told that the parts are not available and we would be contacted when they are.  The local dealer is Maple Hill in Kalamazoo.  I started a chat with Volvo and the suggestion was to try another dealer.  If the part is not available I fail to see how that will help.</description>

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 reso</description>

      <description>In April 2021 I drove my newly  acquired Volvo V70 wagon from Mississippi to my home in RI. Once I reached in and around NYC, the car began to surge forward as I  applied the brakes at stop lights/signs. This became most pronounced at the GW Bridge Toll area, in high slow-moving traffic. Several times the car almost got out of control as the brakes were barely enough to stop the car from ramming i</description>
