problem #1

S70 5-cyl

The driver's side airbag did not deploy even though the car was hit on the side. Contacted Volvo and asked to inspect. Their answer was that everything was ok. I asked for a report with all the engineering data and supporting documents to show why it was ok, no response, have asked twice. They say everything is ok. I think there is a problem and they are hiding the truth. The side air bag should have deployed to give extra protection. I was not satisfied with their answer and I do need you help.
