| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2001 volvo v70xc had an electronic throttle failure on the highway on 8/01/05 which resulted in an immediate deceleration and total loss of power. my complaint is consistent with the current nhtsa investigation #pe05041. the throttle acceleration happened again 4 days later on rte 128 in boston and an accident was averted as i got going before a car ran into me in the break down lane. my local volvo dealer replaced the throttle mechanism for $1,300 this week but did not make me aware of your investigation or the california or massachussett's lawsuits regarding this problem. *jb |
