| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In january of 2005 i noticed surging while at highway speeds. brought vehicle to volvo of pleasanton dealer to have this investigating. no problems were found. no obdii errors. in april, 2005 i brought the car in again and asked for a mechanic to drive with me so that i could ensure he was detecting the surging. he did. i was told that the electronic throttle module was failing and that it needed to be replaced. i was told that i could not have the part as it was a warranty item. on-line, i found hundreds of reports of these parts failing. i am now concerned that while volvo replaced my etm, they did so with the exact same design... hence i must assume that in another 45,000 miles the part will fail again. this part should be recalled and a new design must be instituted. *nm |
