| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was on the ramp getting on to the highway, and all of a sudden the car stalled. i could not accelerate, and a semi was going to hit the back of my car because i got out there in front of him and then i can't move. so to avoid the accident, i darted of the highway unto the shoulder with the dismay of the truck driver. the information in the left corner gave "performance reduced". i didn't know what happened. so i had it towed, and without finding anything the first day, they found that it was the electronic throttle module. so i had to pay over $1000 to get this fixed. this was back in march, and now i am having the same problem. i am not going to pay another $1000 for the same thing. i almost got into an accident and i already paid over $1000 to get it fixed, and now i have to come out of pocket again only 4 months later. this is horrible, and volvo should recall all the cars with this electronic throttle module. i have almost got into an accident several time because of the result of this defect. i refuse to get it fixed, because volvo will not pay for it. i have had it replaced once before, and it is still doing the same thing. volvo needs to take care of this, because it is obviously a defect on their end. please help to get this fixed. i don't have another $1000 to get this fixed every three to four months!!! *nm |
