| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The electronic throttle module on our vehicle has caused us to encounter hazardous conditions on more than one occasion. in january, 2004, the ets warning light came on and before we could drive the 60 miles to the nearest volvo service center, our car was sputtering and surging and losing power on a continual basis. this was a dangerous situation for us to be in. the repair that was made involved installing a used part because of computer related problems (which is another story and a complaint to volvo). now, 20 months later, that used part has malfunctioned and put us in a similar hazardous situation (not to mention an inconvenient situation) again. when these electronic throttle modules malfunction, there is little notice and the results can be serious when they occur as you are driving in traffic. *jb |
