The SRS light came on, which appears to be a common problem with my model. The dealer said they need to replace the entire SRS console for $1000. They cannot guarantee it, but it's possible my airbags will not deploy if they do not replace this.

Operating vehicle since Oct '08, since that time there has been a noise emanating from front pass-side wheel area. Purchasing dealer(hall Chevy, chesapeake, va) performed wheel-alignment to "fix" the noise which did not remedy. Volvo dealer in arvada, co diagnosed it as failed, or failing wheel hub, to be replaced at cost of $500. This vehicle also had trans failure at appx 76K miles, and throttle control module failure in Oct '09. I believe there are many concerns about operating and having confidence in its ability to operate "safely and reliably" the vehicle has been in the shop nearly as much as on-the-road since it's I purchased it in Oct '08.

The driver sustained several broken ones in her right hand which required 2 surgeries, extensive physical therapy and many other medical procedures.
