What owners wrote

On 12/22 I was driving my 2003 volvo s 60 AWD. I was very slowly and carefully pulling into a front in parking spot. I was particularly careful because there was a driver sitting in the car parked to my right, and I did not want to get too close to his car. With my foot on the brake I was slowly moving into the spot. My front fender tapped the short concrete barrier at the front of the parking spot. The next thing I new, the car was rapidly accelerating forward.

December 2004 Crash

The dash information system will randomly go blank and display SRS failure. Along with all information lights start blinking on and off. The analog gauge like the speedometer and fuel gauge will go to "0" or just move eratically to any number or position while driving. At night the entire information center go blank the clock and the mileage(no lights at all).
