Our daughter was recently in a very serious freeway accident and sustained serious injuries. She was T-boned from the passanger side then slammed into the center divide head-on. We purchased the 2006 S40 thinking she’d be in one of the safest cars on the road. Boy were we wrong! The side airbag failed to deploy and every person on the scene of the accident questioned why the airbag didn’t work. I wonder how many other S40 accidents have had airbags that failed to deploy
