My instrument panel is dead?Volvo 2002 V70

What is your question?

About 6 month ago, the clock start giving problems, doing it's own thing! Everything else worked wonderful. Two days ago, I got into the car and my indicator and warning lights area were going crazy. Warning lamp in the center of the panel were yellow and there was a message in the text window: Something about the 'airbag that needs checking'. I live 1.8 miles from work, figured I will go to work and after work will take it to get checked out. When I got into the car after work - the whole instrument p[anel was black. The only thing I get now when I turn the key; check engine light.

How long has your 2002 Volvo V70 had this problem?
