Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car hesitates and/or stalls on acceleration for past 20,000 miles. initial diagnosis from volvo dealer showed "no fault codes stored, unable to diagnose." finally, today i stalled while making a turn and almost got broadsided. just after that an ets light came on. i called the dealer and was told "it will cost up to $1000 to replace the part." this is a major safety hazard and to think that volvo knows about this problem (i surfed the internet and found right away that this is a common problem) and let me take the car out with this issue known. (regardless of a fault code stored)*jb
