While on the freeway my sunroof shattered and spilled a bunch of glass fragments all over me, I believe a rock or some kind of other object, never found out what hit it or if it was hit, from the freeway hit it, so I don't know if it counts as a vehicle safety problem but I wanted to make a report just in case it counts as one. My safety was put at risk by having glass falling on top off me while going around 60mph on the freeway, the sudden noise of the glass breaking followed by the glass falling on me caused me to swerve and it left me shaken and covered in glass. I ended up pulling over on the shoulder to relax myself and get all the glass off of me and my seat, no one was hurt or injured. There was no problem confirmed other than the sunroof being broken. The component was not inspec

My windshield was lifting as I drove highway speeds or on a windy day, as well as leaked water during heavy rain. Took it to an auto glass shop (like my Volvo dealership suggested due to a diagnostic fee of over $100.00 for Volvo service to touch the car), where they told me it was a huge problem and that it seemed to be a problem with the manufacturing of the car. They said there is no way a person could have caused the windshield to be completely loose enough to pop out like mine is, and that it looks like the manufacturer didn't bond the windshield properly to the car.

I have a 2010 Volvo c30. In late november 2017 I was in a minor accident on the freeway. Something came off a big rig in front of me and hit the windshield as well as me running over something. I assume the truck blew a tire, as the truck started sparking underneath. The noise was so loud, I thought the windshield had broken. When I pulled over, I didn't see any real damage but a small piece of molding was loose near my front tire. Over the next several days I would hear a loud jarring noise whenever I hit a bump a certain way. Also, when the passenger door was slammed shut. It sounded like my car was falling apart. It continued to get more frequent, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from until we started getting freezing temperatures in the morning and I could actually see the winds

My daughter was involved in a single vehicle mishap where she jumped a curb at approximately 15 to 20 MPH, blew out three tires, and damaged the right passenger front bumper as well as the right and left front quarter panels. The right front tire is bent inward and the left front is bent outward. Through all of this, the driver's side airbag never deployed. I had to guesstimate the mileage below at 53k as I don't have it with me where I am filing this report.
