Description of the problem | On february 5, 2020 i was involved in a minor fender bender which resulted when i drove off alight and the car in front of me did not take off and i hit it in the rear at a very low rate of speed. The auto brake did not engage. I was no more than one and a half car lengths behind and the car was moving at one to two miles per hour. When i hit the rear of the car in front of me the air bags deployed which caused me to have a slight concussion and certainly scared me. There was little if no physical damage to the vehicle. I contacted volvo customer care a few days after advising that auto brake system did not engage and the airbag deployed. The report was taken. I was advised that there were no prior reports of this issue. Volvo repair was not willing to acknowledge my concern and would not confirm that prior to the repair there-would be a repair. Candidly they were not going to do anything except accept insurance check and fix it. I now have received a recall notice for this exact issue which i had reported. I advised then i was afraid of the car because i was afraid the airbag would deploy unnecessarily again. How do i address the fact that i will not use this car any longer. |
