| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Re:1999, s-80,t-6 volvo. saw an ap article in my local paper today re complaint investigation. i experienced virtually all of the same problems cited in the article. namely stall w/o warning, from a stop,step on gas and barely would move(like slipping clutch on a manual transmission) , had numerous incidents where i felt vulnerable and unsafe in traffic, loss of power steering etc. sounds very much like these other complaints. at same time i had lots of incorrect "readouts" on dash panel. i complained to dealer who said this all could be related to the abs control module which was replaced at cost of $825.00. old part was not given back to me. of note is that during the same repair a belt was replaced which they did give back to me, but not the module. mileage was only 61,376. this module did solve the problem however i am now getting another goofy readout that dealer says could be a defective module. current mileage is 61779. i did not think that failures of this type should occur at such low mileage. at the time i asked if there was a recall for this and was told no. i am not happy with this situation and ii do suspicion that a defect exists. *jb |
