After several repair efforts, the passenger seat air bag sensor does not operate properly.when persons are riding in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag off light is lit.
We purchased a 2005 volvo v70 new. We have taken the car back to the dealer 3 times because the passanger airbag deactivates when an adult in the seat seems to move around . The first time the dealear recalibrated the computer. The second time they changed the seat. The third time they had a field rep drive the car with an adult in the seat, while the light did come on the rep said that it was operating normal. I would like to find out if this is normal and if it is to raise a concern for the safety of the pasanger.

Clear plastic bubbled up in front of speedometer causing blurry view of speed and other information.
I was driving along the road and the vehicle just died, i put my foot on the gas and it did not accelerate. Warning lights did not come on, nothing signaled to me that anything happened. I was able to pull off the main road and onto a side road, with much difficulty turning my wheel. I stopped the vehicle and restarted and drove back home to switch out with another car. My 3 year old was in the back seat and i was about to get on a highway. Luckily this did not happen while doing 65mph during rush hour traffic.
The vehicle is a 2000 volvo awd cross country. The car while at highway speed decelerated abruptly and nearly caused a rear end impact on the back of my car. This also happened earlier on a vacation trip in may 2005. I was told by a friend and the dealership that sold us the car to us (new) that there was a class action suit for the reasons causing our problem regarding the atc computer /throttle control. Having spent over 1500 dollars for the repair it appears that the dealer will not reimburse us for the recall costs and also did not indicate or assure us that the cause of the problem would be taken care of by the repair. The car problems we experienced where described in an issue of volvo club magazine.

Since mid july, 05 car has had an intermittent stalling problem.when you stop, after the car is at operating temp. It will seek idle, run up to about 1,000 rpm &either drop to below 500 rpm or stall out.it does this on several makes of premium gas, mobil, shell, texico/amaco, and or marathon.it willrestart easily and then does not lose idle again for some time. I had it checked by dealership, and they find the mass air sensor and throttle module are bad. Cost to cure is $1,500.i do not think a car with 64k miles should need this type of expense.i think a car that stalls in traffic without any warning is a hazard.i have contacted volvo, and they are sorry but can do nothing about it at this time.they are replacing or making adjustment to cost in sweden at this time per "brickboard" the volvo web site on throttle modules.i have asked for original parts, and will save them.
