| While driving the dash (not the radio, or other electrical components) went out-completely blank. i lost, the tac, the spedometer/odocmeter, engine gage and gas gage. this problem has continued intermittently and i can not relate it to a given speed or weather. not knowing your speed is a safety issue and at night it's odd to be driving a car w/out an illuminated dash/controls. i do have an srs code-service immediately. when i was last at the dealer they had never heard of this issue and would have to charge me diagnostic fee's. online research shows this to be a common problem and a new dim ($1200) can fix the problem. this is a safety issue and there are too many complaints posted online for this to be a little problem. what is the r/1000 (repair per thousand vehicles)? | |||

| Dashboard instrument cluster going on and off-had it tested several times-stays off--no gauges or lighting-this is a common problem with all volvos and i am thinking it is a safety issue-and why had it not been recalled yet?? this is a repair that i have to fix-as it is almost 1500 dollars---volvo forums has several hundred people complaining of this--before i get repair i am wondering if volvo should contribute--- | |||

| On 12 dec, 2008, my 2003 volvo s60 stalled with no warning while traveling on a busy highway at 60 mph. i pulled to safety (vehicle was in limp home mode) and had the vehicle towed to the dealership (park place volvo). since the vehicle started right back up and presented no codes, i was told there was nothing wrong and given a bill for $418 (for tow and diagnostic check). approx. 1 month later, vehicle presented same problem; it stalled, without warning, while driving... creating a great safety risk for the second time. i had vehicle towed again to same dealership, and since vehicle started right back up with no codes, i was told there was nothing wrong. dealership could not get vehicle to duplicate problem on either occasion. however, to appease me, dealership did replace accelerator pedal...vehicle still presents same stalling issue, and intermittently goes into limp home mode for no apparent reason. this will undoubtedly cause a serious accident, as it is obvious, from the numerous complaints on this issue, that this is a mass defect. *tr | |||
