| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Approaching a red light on slight incline, car stalled and ets light and check engine lights came on. advised my service station that throttle system failed. car maybe driven but there can be safety issues, as the car loses power without warning, which is clearly a hazard in crossing intersections or mergering into traffic and there are also emission related issues with gas mileage and exhaust system. to date, car has been looked at by two service stations, doughtery's automative nad stillman volvo. i have been advised that the failure of the throttle system in volvo model years 1998 to 2001 has become a fairly common problem. i have contacted volvo via telephone and an authorized volvo dealer to see if volvo has a program in place to correct a clearly defective part on cars out of warranty. volvo was unwilling to work with me. the only solution to the defective throttle system is to replace it with a new system. therefore, i will be paying out of pocket approximately $900.00 for a new throttle system, a part that should certainly last the life of a car. *ak |
