| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving home from work, a message came up on the indicator (performance reduced." the engine started "missing" badly and within 30 seconds stopped, losing power steering, power brakes, and the ability to accelerate, creating a definite safety hazard for me as well as other cars on the road. i managed to roll to the side of the road, out of traffic. after about fifteen minutes the car started again. i drove home and made an appointment with the volvo dealer (volvo of langhorne, langhorne, pa 215-741-1400) for the next day. i brought the car in and within a half hour, they diagnosed the problem as a "throttle body" (etm) failure with no option other than to replace it as the car will not run properly if at all without the repair. the repair cost $1005.99. there is no way a major component such as this should fail with less than 58,000 miles (57911 at the time of the repair). a brief search of the internet revealed that this particular component is very failure prone, certainly well outside what could be considered acceptable. this is for a volvo s60 2.4t but is not available as a choice in the following screens. *nm |
