1993 volvo 740 station wagon has approximately 48000 miles. no frontal collision. the s.r.s. Dash light went on while driving. Independent volvo mechanic diagnosed it as a "crash sensor malfunction." sensor IS located under driver's seat. the sensor IS responsible for airbag deployment in case of frontal collision. we are in the process of bringing it to a authorized volvo dealer for another diagnosis in a few days. we were told that while light IS on, the air bag would not deploy. this seems like a serous safety hazard. the vehicle IS low mileage, mostly city driven. we are unsure if there IS some kind of manufacture's extended warrantee on this item. the approximate cost to replace this unit IS $12-1,300.00 (wow....) for this safety item. can you find out what volvo can do regarding this? it seems like an uncommon problem, although the dealer has access to this part. we will await your reply.....thank you..
