Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1999 volvo v70 awd wagon with 55,000 miles. we were traveling on the highway at about 70 mph and the car started to surge. the ets light came on. we were able to drive home, but the car was running roughly. i contacted the dealer and made an appointment to bring it in. i was told that the electronic throttle body module needed to be replaced. they also suggested a complete vehicle software upgrade. i have an extended warranty (sold to me by the dealer), but it did not cover this repair. *jb
