INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T READ ANY OF THE GUAGES OR WARNINGS LIGHTS OTHER THAN IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS IMPOSES A SAFETY RISKS TO ME AND OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD. IT DOES THIS ERRATICALLY, GOING OUT COMPLETELY AND COMING BACK ON IN TIME. NO FUSE PROBLEMS, THEY ARE CHECKED WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS. I HAVE A PICTURE OF EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT BEFORE THE WHOLE PANEL GOES OUT.

THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LIGHTS GO OFF AND COME BACK ON WHENEVER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. IT WAS A GIFT. I JUST FOUND OUT TONITE FROM AN OFFICER THAT WHEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LIGHTS ARE OFF I HAVE NO TAIL LIGHTS. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS EVER BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THE DATE BELOW IS IT AN APPROXIMATE. I REALLY DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE.

FUEL LEAKING FROM TANK (MOST LIKELY TOP OF TANK), WHEN FUEL PUMP IS OPERATING. UPON SOME SEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE S60 FROM 2001 TO 2009. BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. SEEMS LIKE THERE'S SOME LOOPHOLE THAT THEY MANAGED TO USE, WHY NOT ALL VINS SHOULD BE COVERED. ITS CLEARLY A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DEAD LAST WINTER; NO LIGHTS, NO INDICATORS, NO INSTRUMENTS, NOTHING. I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. JUST AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ONE. A VOLVO TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE JAPANESE FIRM THAT VOLVO HIRED DID A POOR JOB AND MANY OF THE INSTRUMENT PANELS HAVE DEFECTIVE SOLDERING AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OR HAVE THE PANEL "RE-POINTED". APPARENTLY, IT IS LESS OF AN ISSUE IN MOIST CLIMATES. VOLVO WILL NOT REPAIR THE PANEL. THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE IT. I WAS QUOTED $1,605.00 PLUS $157.00 TO PROGRAM IT TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE TECHNICIAN KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. SO, AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS NOT A UNCOMMON PROBLEM. WITH A DEAD INSTRUMENT PANEL, YOU CANNOT DETERMINE HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN YOUR CAR, NO OIL INDICATOR, NO TURN SIGNALS, NO HIGH BEAM, OR ANY OF THE ALERTS OR REMINDERS THAT THE COMPUTER PUTS UP.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 VOLVO S60, THE DASH INSTRUMENT PANEL SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER W/THE GAUGES/DISPLAY ALL STOPPING. THEN IT WOULD RETURN AND KEEP WORKING. THEN IT WOULD DO IT A DIFFERENT TIME, CONTINUING IN THIS CYCLE - RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY SO I HAD NO GAUGES, WARNING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, ETC. JUST A LARGE BLACK AREA WHERE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING AT NIGHT WHEN I WOULD JUST RANDOMLY LOOSE THE DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED VOLVO AND THEY SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM W/THEIR VEHICLES (AND IS ALSO CONFIRMED WHEN LOOKING ONLINE FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM). THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY SORT OF SAFETY RECALL, AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE. FOR A MFG WHOSE CARS ARE TOUTED AS BEING VERY SAFE, HAVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SUDDENLY STOP WORKING SO NO IDEA OF SPEED NOR ANY GAUGES/WARNING LIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE WHILE DRIVING IS CLEARLY NOT IN-LINE W/SAFE DRIVING. NO OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED HAS EVER HAD THIS KNOWN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY W/A PART NOT PRONE TO WEAR & TEAR LIKE OTHER PARTS TYPICALLY ARE IN A CAR.

I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR CERTAIN MODEL YEAR VOLVOS RELATIVE TO THE CENTER DASH MODULE LOSING ALL COMMUNICATION APPARENTLY DUE TO FAILED SOLDER CONNECTIONS (BASED ON CHAT-ROOMS, VOLVO SPECIFIC). I UNDERSTAND COMPONENTS CAN FAIL, BUT THE SHEER NUMBER OF FAILURES AND THE FAILURE MODE IS BEYOND TYPICAL OR EXPECTED FAILURES. THE FAILURE MODE CAUSES MOST OR ALL DASH GAUGES, INDICATORS AND LIGHTS TO FAIL, INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. THESE FAILURES APPARENTLY OCCUR RANDOMLY, AND AT ANY AGE/MILEAGE.

CLOCK STARTED ROTATING NUMBERS.. AND NOT STOP. THEN INSTRUMENT DASH INFORMATION STOPPED. NO DASH LIGHTS, SPEED, GAS, WARNINGS. ALL OFF. WHEN I CAN SEE DASH. ONCE A MONTH, MAYBE....IT SAYS AIR BAGS NEED CHECKING, CHECK ENGINE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. AND IF I WERE TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR, THEN WILL I HAVE TO PAY TO CHECK AIR BAGS? ENGINE? WHAT IF A FIRE DID OCCUR... HOW WOULD I KNOW? DEALER STATES $ 1700 TO REPAIR. IT IS SAFETY ISSUE FOR SPEED LIMIT, AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, FUEL CONSUMPTION. CAN'T SEE MILEAGE FOR THIS COMPLAINT! DASH NOT WORKING... ENGINE MOUNTS SHOT. SEAT WARMER BROKE FIRST YEAR. NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS IN THIS CAR IS SHOT, BROKE, NOT CORRECT. TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ENTERED FOR THIS TO NOT BE A RECALL. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP! *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS A FAULT IN IT, POSSIBLY A SHORT OR SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL FAULT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT. BUT, ONLY RECENTLY HAS BECOME RATHER ACUTE. LIGHTS AND GAUGES GO ON AND OFF. PROBLEM HAS ADVERSELY AFFECTED THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM TO THE POINT THAT IT IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND REQUIRES RESETTING; APPARENTLY. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE SINCE DOING MY RESEARCH, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. CONSIDERING THE LARGE NUMBER OF ISSUES/COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS APPARENTLY NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. REPAIR FOR SUCH APPEARS TO BE IN THE $1,500.00 TO $2,000.00 RANGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE DASH (NOT THE RADIO, OR OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS) WENT OUT-COMPLETELY BLANK. I LOST, THE TAC, THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER, ENGINE GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE. 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 FEES. 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)? *TR

DRIVER SIDE, REAR CHILD SEAT ANCHOR WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. THE ANCHOR WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. OUR CHILD'S CAR SEAT WOULD LATCH TO IT, BUT AFTER 2 YEARS OF SON RIDING IN SEAT, WE WERE MOVING THE SEAT TO OTHER SIDE TO ACCOMMODATE A 2ND SEAT AND ANCHOR CAME OUT WITH CAR SEAT. VOLVO ADMITTED MANUFACTURE MISTAKE, BUT REFUSED TO CERTIFY SAFETY OF VEHICLE OR BUY VEHICLE BACK AT BLUE BOOK. TRACY FABER AT VOLVO CARS USA WAS LEAD AND DETAILED LETTER WAS FAXED TO HER IN JANUARY 2013. ANYONE WITH A VOLVO NEEDS TO CHECK SECURITY OF CHILD ANCHORS. I SOLD CAR TO A DEALER UNDER FULL DISCLOSURE AS COULD NOT VERIFY SAFETY OF CHILD SEAT ANCHORS AND A VEHICLE WITHOUT ANCHORS WAS WORTHLESS TO ME. TOOK A LARGE FINANCIAL LOSS ALL BASED ON VOLVO'S MISTAKE. WILL NEVER BUY A VOLVO OR FORD PRODUCT EVER AGAIN BASE DON THIS ISSUE. WE WERE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND WILL GLADLY SHARE OUR EXPERIENCE WITH ANYONE THAT HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE!
