![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Hey alll....Bad news, last night my Parents Hit a Cow on the road, Front Right hand side damage, Including whole front windscreen destroyed, but not 1 airbag deployed.???? Its a 2006 Model with just under 30 000Kilometres, with maintenance plan...My parents had there seat belt on...so that cant be the reason....and it was a FRONT right side damage (Directly in front of my dad driverSide) ......Shouldnt the airbags be deployed..?? Thank god no1 is seriously injured, jus light bruises here and there when the glass pieces from the windscreen flew inside the cabin...My dad is really pissed and has filed a complaint with Volvo South Africa, but what is the way forward..? what exactly can we claim and how best should this situation be handled..??...this is my dads 2nd Volvo so i assume heshould be regarded as a good customer.... Its such a huge disapointment cause, my dad bought the vehicle for the legendary Volvo safety...The good thing thouh, the car handled well and the body took the impact verry well, a huge 1tonne bull and the car was still drivin befor the electronics shut down.... Hoping 2 here some recommendations....

Just be happy your parents are ok. ![]() As for the airbags not deploying, let your Volvo dealership take a look at it or have the insurance conduct an investigation (less bias involved than if Volvo does it).
