| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 volvo v70 2.4 t 1. power loss under normal operational conditions. several trips to dealership. service light coming on and off. 2. died in traffic with my wife and or she and our children in the car on several occasions. would sit, then be fine again. i thought bad gas or something. researched symptoms/conditions on the web and found that what we were experiencing sounded like prelude to catastrophic failure of etm. we took it to an independent mechanic instead of the dealerships which found nothing wrong and asked them to check the etm. couldn't get codes of about it because it resets itself even after codes come on and clears the codes. finally got right in when it happened and sure enough, etm was failing 3. we had to replace it out of our own pocket for $800 to $900. we were told by the mechanics that it wasn't fixed forever, that it would likely start to fail again at some point because it's a design flaw. the incident date is not correct...it was several months ago when we got it fixed but i can't find the repair slip atm for exact date. *jb |
