Recall notice sent and received by myself. An appointment was made for corrective action by the dealer. When car brought for service on scheduled date, was told that the corrective part was no longer available, and there was no time frame for stock replacement to correct the the recall issue by Volvo. Unknown when this would take place. No corrective action received by the dealer or Volvo.

This relates to recall R10029 which I was notified of last summer. I received a follow up letter in December and called to schedule an appointment to have the recall addressed on January 18. Was told parts will not been in until March and that I should call back. Seems like poor concern fo rthis safety defect.

Note ahora SE han mudado al 755 nw 20 St miami fl 33127 under name golden glade collision center, insurance knows about air bag it does not working properly, , they know about fraud, , investigator knows about safety parts, , insurance pay them with fake papers, , insurance knows about stolen money through the my accident, , insurance, agriculture government knows about unsafety car, , the auto shop, aaa of dade county in miami did only very superficial repair work on my car, although they collected compensation from the insurance company. They mention having repaired my seat belt system, air bags, and other mechanical items, as well as outer body parts, but it is obvious that these items have not been repaired. This was confirmed by Volvo, miami & melbourne (see attachment 2 & 3), and by J&J in palm coast (see attachment 4). More importantly, not only did they do improper and incomplete repair work, but there is indication that they themselves caused additional damages to my car, E. G. there appear scratches, the rear bumper is loose, the original front tires were removed and replaced with tires so worn that it put my sons life and mine in grave danger! I have since replaced them by new ones. From what I have been told at Volvo, my car has suffered a loss in value owing to created damages equal to at least $18,000! on 9/24/14, aaa of dade county prepared an authorization form for the purpose of collecting money from the insurance company. This report states that all damages have been satisfactorily repaired on that same date. Please note, however, that the photos, clearly showing the damages to the car, were taken by the appraiser on 9/26/2014!). it thus appears that this form was used for the sole purpose of collecting money, and not, as stated, confirming repair of the damages. Please feel free to contact me should you need additional information

When the front passenger does not use seat belt, the car does not issue any audible warning (even when the car is in motion, e.g. at 30 mph). Note that, in contrast, the audible warning will ring for 6 seconds if the driver does not use seat belt. I called the local dealer and Volvo North America at (201) 768-7300, the reply was that this is exactly how it is designed to work. The dealer also confirmed that the same behavior was observed on other Volvo cars on his site. The receptionist at Volvo North America confirmed to me that "the audible warning for the front passenger seat was eliminated" and it is not possible even for the dealer to enable it. Then, my question is, why does the design engineers at Volvo think it is ok if the front passenger does not use safety belt and there is no need to issue a reminder?? in other cars (e.g., I tested on Mercedes Benz C300 4matic 2013 model), when the car is in motion and the front passenger does not use seat belt, the car reminds with a audible warning.
