The 2. 4l 2004 Volvo S60 experiences erratic behavior and engine failure when operating multiple concurrent electrical systems. When these systems (operated within specified guidelines) are used concurrently they cause the following conditions: engine failure, loss of power steering, loss of brakes. The following is a list of electrical channels that have been used to trigger the engine failure: brakes, indicator lights (right or left) heated seats (x2) front windshield defrost multiple S60 model owners have reported having experienced this same engine failure which cannot be detected by the manufactures diagnostics test.

Compliant 1: I have a 2003 S60 Volvo. The instrument panel goes dark and all instruments stop working. This includes all gauges, speedometer, rpm, fuel, temp and blinkers. They all go to zero and panel turns black and completely off. The exterior blinkers do still work. When the panel is working I receive various messages such as srs airbag service urgent, brake failure, and stop immediately no oil pressure. I took the car to my mechanic and he said it's the driver information module which costs $1300 to replace. My mechanic also stated that this is a reoccuring problem in this car. I have done research on the internet and have found that there are many Volvo's of the same make and model in which the same exact problems are occuring. I feel that the manufacturer should be responsible for fixing this problem. It's obvious that it's a recurring problem. Compliant 2: I'm also experiencing an engine stall problem. This is very dangerous. The car will stall at least 50% of the time when making a turn. I've researched this as well and found that it's a reoccurring problem as well. Apparently the fuel pressure sensor located on the left end of the fuel rail may, at times, transmit an incorrect signal regarding the fuel pressure to the engine control module. This causes engine misfires and causes the engine to shut down completely when in middle of intersections. I have come close to many dangerous situations because of this engine failure.

I have a 2004 Volvo s-60 with approximately 75,000 miles on it. In the past 6 weeks, the car engine has completely died three separate times - without warning. The emergency hazard light still worked, the fan still blows (no a/c, just the fan), but otherwise there is no power, no brakes, no steering, no warning lights whatsoever. Each time this has happened, it has been when I am driving between 40-55mph. When the car coasts to a stop and I am able to re-start it, it starts without a problem. My Volvo dealership says they see no evidence of problem on the car's computer system, and the car did not die when they test drove it, therefore they say they cannot diagnose the problem - and that without a diagnosis, they cannot repair it. They also claim that Volvo's database has no related vehicle or parts recall on my particular VIN/vehicle. However, with absolutely no warning of when the engine failure will occur, and with no control over steering or braking, this is a very dangerous situation that Volvo so far cannot address unless the engine failure happens right in front of them. With no way of controlling when the car will die, this is obviously not a satisfactory resolution for the safety of myself or for other drivers.
