NHTSA Complaint #10470204 — 2003 VOLVO S60

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING TO 35 MPH, ENTIRE DASHBOARD BLACKED OUT. NO SPEEDOMETER, NO ODOMETER, NO GAS GAUGE,NO MESSAGE. RADIO, WINDOWS, AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY, AS DID HEADLIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND TURN SIGNALS. I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED CAR. SAME SYMPTOMS. THE THIRD TIME I RESTARTED CAR I RECEIVED MESSAGE ON PANEL, SRS/AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I COULD NOT RETRIEVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING AVERAGE SPEED, HOW FULL GAS TANK IS, ETC. I JUST WENT OUT TO MY CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 21/2 HOURS SINCE THE INCIDENT, TO GET THE MILEAGE FOR THIS REPORT AND PANEL LIGHTS HAVE DISAPPEARED AGAIN! I WILL GET CAR TO MECHANIC TOMORROW, BUT I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN,AND ESPECIALLY WITH NIGHT TIME OR HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY DRIVING! MY MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 94,000 MILES. I COULD NOT GET A READING FROM MY ODOMETER AS THE PANEL IS BLACKED OUT AGAIN! *TR
