problem #2

Jan 302003

S80 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
A few weeks before the actual incident, I noticed that my driver side window would only go down halfway before rolling back up automatically on its own. It kept doing it until I turned the engine off and then turned it back on. A few weeks later, when I closed my driver side door the side impact airbags deployed. The Volvo representative came out and inspected it and Volvo fixed it because it was still under warranty, but they did not know what caused this problem.
