While driving in the dark, power to the electronics listed below were lost inevitably and many warning lights/messages appeared on the dash (also listed below under symptoms). There were no warning signs that this was about to happen nor is there any explanation for why it happened. I was driving on a dark road and I lost complete vision of the road due to headlight failure (both low and high beams). This scenario is a common safety issue associated with many other similar volvo years and models. I had to stop the car immediately to avoid crashing and call someone to pick me up. All symptoms from this "blackout" did not and have not disappeared since it happened, making the car undrivable. These symptoms are suspect to be the result of a cem failure, which also controls emissions. As stated previously, this exact scenario has caused thousands of similar volvo years and models to be recalled/repaired on volvo's behalf. Unfortunately, my vehicle model has not been placed under recall for this extremely, dangerous safety defect. I would like to see action taken against volvo and repair costs covered on their behalf. Symptoms: brake failure stop safely warning message engine system service required warning message SRS airbag service urgent warning message low beam headlights not working high beams headlights not working check engine light on ABS light on traction control light on odometer not working radio not working power seats & heated seats not working 12v sockets (front & rear) not working trip odometer not working clock reset.

The vehicle would not start. There was full battery power and the computer stated it was the immobilizer check manual. Several attempts were made and car sat overnight.the volvo s60 restarted in the morning. The car ran fine for a day and would not start again. Dealership stated that the antenna ring or key chip might be bad. The antenna ring was changed and the car would not start a week later again. The car was taken to dealer ship and placed on scanner. The car function normally for two weeks and did not start again. Several blogs concerning this matter have been set up without any answers for the consumer. The dealerships scanned the vehicle and changed parts and the problem still persists. In my case the dealership stated that it did show a problem. Yet the problem is not fixed. Consumers are being stranded or in my case stranded several times for hours until the vehicle starts later.

I own a volvo s60 and am having problems (racing idle, uncontrollable cruise control, and complete dying of engine randomly) which are related to eventual failure of the etm which could be a catastrophic event, resulting in serious injury or death. Volvo has issued a limited recall but in order to be granted this fix one's vehicle must fail a certain test. If there is no failure, no fix.(the test is not a comprehensive meter of failure) a software upgrade is offered which is essentially an override , in which the system is set to ignore symptoms, so that the check engine light does not employ. This is not a fix.. The problem existing is that my car exhibits all the preliminary problems of the eventual failure of the etm which will result in a limp home mode ,whereas the car will only go approx 15mph, and is immediate, meaning that when this happens one hopes they are not on the freeway .... Well, one can use ones imagination. This is very disturbing. Still volvo wishes to wait until the complete failure obviously, and I do not wish to gamble with my life in this way. The symptoms at this time are random, indicative of complete failure in the future. Volvo hesitates to take complete responsibility of this problem; but are aware of the defective engineering responsible for it. Even their fix for this problem is to replace with the same etm (electronic throttle module) which again, is only buying time until it fails also. But just try to get your module replaced ; not an easy thing to do, unless u want to pay for it outright, and that is wrong considering this is a volvo problem, again, that they are aware of. I guess maybe death could be the great motivator.
