Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Volvo v70--- we removed the handholds from above the driver and front seat passenger. my wife, ellen, suffered a concussion when her head struck the handhold above her as she was driving and the car was hit in the front. no airbags deployed. i found myself bumping my head against these handholds even while driving. these handholds obviously intrude into the headspace of the automobile. i am surprised that volvo would use such iron-hard handholds without padding or without a collapsing or folding mechanism. *nm
