Instrument Panel Problems of Volvo S60

My instrument cluster has been malfunctioning until it went completely blank, occasionally it will light up, this is a safety concern since unable to see speedometer or vehicle fault lights.

See all problems of the 2003 Volvo S60 🔎.

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---.

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 2003 S600 and the instrument panel goes dark and all the instruments stop working (speedometer, rpm, fuel, temp -- all go to zero) . This occurs intermittently, while driving, the engine was running fine and no warning lights came on. I am also experiencing problems with indicator lights on the dashboard. As an example, the blinker lights on the dashboard only work about 20% of the time. The actual directionals on the exterior of the car are still working all of the time. The condition seems to be getting progressively worse. In addition various messages have appeared -- such as srs airbag service urgent, brake failure - stop safely. Brought it to my mechanic and he had to replace the driver information module (dim) $1,300. He stated that he has replaced 4 dim's within the past month. Appears to be a common failure with 2003 S60 model. My mechanic also commented that in the past Volvo dealer would only have 1 dim in stock -- they now have 6 to 8 in stock. I think this should be a manufacturer expense -- no matter what the mileage is on the car.
