| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My car is a volvo s70 1999 2.5l non-turbo engine. i started experiencing uneven engine idle in may of 2001, at first i feared that my engine would just die out. a few times the engine really did just stop working as i was slowing down. i've had a volvo dealer/service in long island ny take a look at the problem and they simply "cleaned" the electronic throttle. the cleaning solution did not last long and after a week or so i started noticing the uneven engine idle again. after having the engine just go kaput a few more times, i took the car to an independant mechanic and they performed a cleaning but says that most likely i will have to replace the etm. now it is 2006 and our volvo is less driven but still in the family. we still experience the same problems with the engine. i am glad to hear that volvo of america is finally stepping up and at least trying to remedy the problem by extending the warranty. but this is an issue that caused me and my family many scary moments and put us in dangerous situations. i hope posting my complaint here today will help others. *nm |
