| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2001 s60 2.4t volvo sedan has had numerous error messages displayed over the 4 years i have owned it. most times there was no problem in driving the vehicle until i could safely pull over. the "fix" for the error message was to shut off the engine, sit for a moment and restart. on two other frightful occasions, however, i lost steering assist and acceleration. both times i was on busy interstate highways and feared for my life as my car limped toward the breakdown lane. it appears that i have been extremely fortunate in that both times the car lost power and control that it started up again. i will be submitting 2 accounts online. my repair garage confirmed yesterday that there are a significant number of error messages caused by the "throttle control" and that i have to take the car back to the original dealer. i have my appointment for september 6 and was given an estimate of $900 to replace the electronic throttle control. it is not under warranty. |
