| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Malfunctioning of the electronic throttle system (ets) on my 1999 volvo v70 station wagon caused me to lose power or stall completely while driving. it happened several times prior to having the ets replaced. it occurred for me at low speeds and in light traffic allowing me to get off the road. i was able to restart the engine after a short time interval. it could have been a major safety hazard if i had this failure at highway speeds and in traffic. this occurred several months ago and has been repaired at my expense, but on reading an associated press article today on an investigation of this problem by the nhtsa, i am submitting this as another instance of the problem being investigated. *nm the air conditioning compressor and power windows had to be replaced. currently, the check engine light is on. *jb |
