Volvo Xc70 2003 Electrical System Review #10400019

VOLVO XC70 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2011.VOLVO XC70 2003, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the driver information module (dim) on my 2003 volvo xc70 began intermittently going out. during this time, i took the vehicle to a volvo dealer for diagnostics. the dealer informed me that the dim was bad and would need to be re-manufactured as it is a "car specific" part. the cost of the job was going to be around $1,400.00. i could not afford the repair. awhile later, the dim went completely out leaving without the ability to see how fast i'm driving, how much gas i have, warning lights, etc. when the dim went completely out, i began doing a great deal of research ob this problem to see if i could have the dim repaired/replaced cheaper than i was quoted by the dealer. upon research, i found that a great number of 2003 volvo xc70 owners were experiencing the same problem. many volvo mechanics and owners, refer to this problem as not being unusual. in addition, not having a dim poses many, obvious safety hazards, such as speeding, car breaking down on the road, etc. also, i was told by the volvo mechanic that driving the vehicle without a functioning dim could prevent my airbags from deploying. finally, i noticed that many owners were replacing the dim's which is leading to a number of cars that do not show correct mileage for the vehicle. apparently, one can replace the dim with a used dim, much cheaper, but because the dim is a "car specific" part, once the dim is replaced the dim will note the mileage of the vehicle that the dim came out of. in my non-expert, humble opinion, if this problem has become "normal," the problem should be covered by volvo; it seems that the production was faulty. in addition, volvo should be responsible considering the faulty dim is a safety hazard. *tr.Mileage was 128000 miles.

VOLVO XC70 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 15, 2012.VOLVO XC70 2003, manufactured by VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i was driving my 2003 volvo xc70 at the posted speed limit (55mph) when the dashboard suddenly went black and all of the gauges, including speedometer, tachometer, gas gauge, and clock stopped working. every warning light lit up. the volvo dealer admitted they had seen this issue before. the cost to replace the dim was over $1400.00 and i had no choice but to pay it since i was not going to drive my car with no speedometer or gas gauge. the dim replacement is now only warranted for two years, so i may find myself in the exact same boat in the future if the new dim also fails. researching this issue online, i found that this was a known problem, particularly for 2003 volvo models. after finding the nhtsa website, i also found that someone else had recently reported the exact same problem and also noted that the dim failure could impact the proper operation of the airbag system. clearly, this is a safety issue that is affecting more than just a few isolated volvo owners. volvo should assume responsibility for this problem, issue a recall and pay for these repairs. the dim module is a computer part and its failure is obviously not the result of expected "wear and tear." instead, it appears to be a defective part that the manufacturer should replace to prevent accidents that can be caused by the sudden loss of the dashboard system and possible negative effect on the operation of the airbags. please do what you can to have volvo address this problem. thank you. *tr.Mileage was 116000 miles.
