Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In early october 2003 the electronic throttle system (ets) light appeared on my car's panel. this affected the drivability of the vehicle. i purchased an additional warranty for my vehicle when i bought the car in may 2000. the dealer indicated that my warranty would not cover this problem and that it would cost approximately $900 to repair it. i declined the service. the light continues to come on frequently (i.e., every 2nd or 3rd day of the week). when this happens, i will pull over and turn off the car for a moment. when i start it up again, the light does not appear and drivability is normal. as a volvo owner for the past 17 years, i have not experienced any similar malfunctions. i have owned a 1982 volvo 240, a 1992 volvo 240 and my current volvo s70. i would appreciate if you would research this malfunction to determine if you have received (or the manufacturer) complaints from other volvo owners. thank you for your help. *nlm
