Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A 40MPH BUSY ROAD, MY CD PLAYER DISPLAY BEGAN TO FLASH, THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER, MY SRS AIR BAG SERVICE URGENT MESSAGE CAME ON. EVERYTHING CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THEN ALL MY INSTRUMENTS (SPEEDOMETER, REV COUNTER, TURN SIGNALS) ALL DIED. LUCKY I WAS PASSING MY DEALER WHO I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND ABLE TO TURN INTO IT. AFTER BRAKING, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR AND HAD TO LET THE MOMENTUM CARRY ME INTO TO THE LOT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS NOW. I NOTICED ON THE FIRST DAY THAT SIMPLE THINGS WERE NOT QUITE RIGHT, INCLUDING MY MIRROR BUTTON ONLY WORKING HALF THE TIME AS WELL AS MY WINDOW CONTROL. ALSO MY WIPERS WOULD TURN ON RANDOMLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR IF YOU READ ANY VOLVO FORUMS. IT SEEMS IT HAS HAPPENED TO ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE ELECTRONICS OF THIS CAR. PEOPLE'S SAFETY ARE GREAT RISK WITH THE FAILURE OF THESE SAID ITEM IN THE CAR. *TR
