| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The car could be running just fine and all of the sudden it would start lurching and the rpms would vary by as much as 500 - 600 rpms. when you stopped the car it had to be placed in neutral to keep it from stalling-out. after you got off to the side of the road and switched the car off and restarted it, it would be fine for short distances. i checked at an after market repair shop for volvo's to get an estimate of necessary repairs. the mechanic knew exactly what was wrong with the car as soon as i explained the symptoms to him. he said was the "electronic throttle body module." i asked if we could find a used module. he laughed and stated that the module had to be program for that specific car. he stated it was general knowledge that this was a common problem occurring on numerous 2000 models and newer v70's and s70's. i took the car to the volvo dealership and had the module replaced for a total cost of $1036. although no accident occurred in my case, it could have! |
