My son was driving a 2002 Volvo S80 with no passengers when he was hit in the left front by another car. He was forced to the right and struck a light pole at approximately 30 mph. The light pole impact was maybe 2" right of dead center. The car was a total loss. Only the passenger airbag deployed from the dash. None of the other seven airbags deployed. The fact that none of the drivers airbags deployed appears to be a fault. The fact that there was no passenger and the passenger airbag did deploy also appears to be a fault.

Numerous defects in the airbag system, one time it was the bumper connection, another time the seat belt tensioner, and then the connection in the steering wheel, then it goes out of warranty and they cannot find the problem and I spend $800 then it happens again and the dealer says too bad it must be shorted somewhere.....jokes on you.
