1994 Volvo 940 from North America - Comments

Cruise control has not worked since I've had the car.

Radio stopped working one cold winter morning. It won't find or stay on a tuned station. The tape player still works fine. I've also had to replace both rear speakers.

Recently it has started to electronically switch into low gear by itself.

Had a very low impact collision at less than 5MPH. Both air bags blew up. The cover to the passenger side air bag smashed the front window. The front seat belts would no longer extend themselves and had to be replaced. This was not a fun experience. The impact did not even scrape the dirt off the front bumper!

Fabric on drivers seat has worn a hole on the door side. The car is low and it is almost impossible to get in without rubbing your body, (my butt), along the outside edge.

Car is sluggish going up hills with a full load of passengers.

Ride is very smooth and comfortable.

I have just recently purchased a 1994 940 that suffered the same problem as you had in regards to the air bag and seat belts. I got a really good deal on the car it only has 164kms on the clock. I replaced the windshield, put the dash back together minus the air bags and released the seat belts by disconnecting the gas charged cylinders located in the lower door post. The car runs perfectly and will for the future. This is my fifth Volvo, I have had a 76 242,80 240,84 245 turbo wagon,88 740GLE and now this one. I am well satisfied.
