| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I should have know that something was wrong with my used 2000 volvo s80 t6 two weeks after purchased it when the engine cut off on me while i was going through an intersection. i just thought that my car was still warming up and that is why the engine cut off. then a couple weeks later my automatic door locks would work intermittently so much so that i had to use my remote keyless entry just to unlock my doors while i am sitting inside my car! but this isn't the worst of it. while i am on my way to a hair appt in heavy los angeles traffic, my car starting stalling. i was doing 30 - 50 miles per hour going down the freeway and my car would just cut off. imagine if my 3 year daughter was in the car at the time. i couldn't believe that i was having engine problems with the highly recommended volvo. i couldn't believe it. i had to literally drive on the shoulder of the freeway just to keep giving my car power. i had never been so afraid while driving. i was upset and pissed off that my car was still considered safe to drive. all of these models should be taken off the streets. i eventually had the car towed to the volvo dealer and luckily i still had the extended warranty. the dealership told me that it was a faulty electronic throttle module and they replaced it. my car was working fine until two weeks ago when the same issue has started to occur with the automatic locks. i can't unlock the automatic locks from inside of my car, i have to use the remote keyless entry. i have to the conclusion that the car that i am driving in is a death trap and that i would really like to be reimbursed for all the headaches that this car has given me. volvo's motto is "for life", i am starting to tell people, if you value your life, then don't purchase a volvo.*jb |
