I was driving my S60 and about a mile down the road the transmission felt like it slammed into gear. It was not changing gears at the time. It felt similar to when I had computer issues before that were fixed by a software upgrade.
It happened one more time another mile down the road and then the brake and ABS lights come on. The mssg window says "Brake system failure stop when safe" or something similar. Then all the gauges shut down, I couldn't roll down my window and my air got hot. I came to a stop and shut the car off.
I pulled out my OBD reader and it gave me p0116 and U0100 p. I then cut the car back on and the guages came back on, the windows would work again but the temp guage was maxed and the mssg window said "high engine temp" and "SRS Airbag Urgent service".
The over flow had fluid and the vehicle did not feel that hot. I squeezed the hoses and there was not that much pressure. I left the car for an hour and the guage still showed it as maxed out.
Am I dealing with some massive computer failure or is there any way all these different problems and messages are happening?

Volvodoc,
Why would the DIM module cause the issues that felt like the transmission (i.e. the thump feeling)? Does it not just control the dashboard controls?
Also, just noticed this on another website. This is EXACTLY what happened in my car.
Make : VOLVO Model : S60 Year : 2004
Manufacturer : VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC.
Crash : No Fire : No Number of Injuries: 0
ODI ID Number : 10236160 Number of Deaths: 0
Date of Failure: March 21, 2007
VIN : YV1RS59VX42...
Component: AIR BAGS
Summary:
2004 VOLVO S60 2.5 TURBO: NO WARNING TO THE EVENTS. ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS, THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT HAS HIT A LARGE OBJECT, TEMPORARILY LURCHES AND APPEARS TO MOMENTARILY STALL CREATING A TEMPORARY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ALL INSTRUMENT GAUGES, AIR CONDITIONER, WINDOW CONTROLS AND DOOL LOCKS. THE FAN DID CONTINUE TO WORK. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ALSO INDICATED AS WELL AS A WARNING THAT NO BRAKES FUNCTION EXISTED. THE SRS SERVICE AIR BAG URGENT INDICATION IS ILLUMINATED. ON TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING, THE FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR RETURN WITH EXCEPTION THAT THE SRS SERVICE AIR BAG URGENT INDICATION REMAINS. THIS PROBLEM CAN TAKE MONTHS TO REPEAT OR ONLY A MATTER OF MINUTES. IT SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT IN HOT WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE SHOP AT THE VOLVO DEALER AND THEY COULD ONLY CLEAR ALARMS AS THEY SAID THE EVENT CREATED TOO MANY ALARMS/FAULT CODES TO TROUBLESHOOT. THEY DOWNLOADED NEW SOFTWARE REVISIONS TO EACH CONTROL MODULE IN THE CAR. AFTER A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY A MONTH, THE EVENTS BEGAN OCCURRING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO NON OEM MECHANICS AS WELL ADN THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE FAULT. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE SHOP AGAIN. SEARCHING THE INTERNET CHAT ROOMS AND BLOGS, AS WELL AS THIS SITE, THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SAFETY FAULT THAT STALLS VEHICLES IN TRAFFIC AND CREATES VERY SUDDEN AND SEVERE LURCHES IN POWER ULTIMATELY LEADING TO A MOMENTARY STALL OUT WITH LOSS OF ALL INSTRUMENT INDICATIONS TO INCLUDE SPEED, RPM, TURN INDICATOR, ETC.

Dealership thinks I need a new CEM but from looking through forums, everybody else seems to think this is a DIM issue. Not sure what to do. I certainly don't want to pay for a new CEM just to find out I needed a DIM.
Any ideas?

wrw - did you ever get this resolved?
If its cluster you can get it repaired for under 2000.
you can easily send out your cluster to get repaired for under $200. I just did it. Go to Ebay and lookup seller euro-electric. They give you easy instructions on how to pop out your panel, mail it to them and they ship it back fixed 1 2 3. Dont do like I did and wait for years and trying everything under the sun.
There are other sellers that seem more expensive out there.
or can search.
"VOLVO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPAIR". If you dont want to use ebay
you can just call them. 866 281 2414.
No I dont work there i just used their service and boy I wish i knew about it earlier
