| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Ets light coming on - immediate loss of power. very dangerous at 70 mph in 3-4 lanes of heavy traffic. i put my emergency blinkers on and tried to safely get off the highway. i turned the car off and back on, the light went away and i proceeded to drive to the dealership. enroute, it happened again just as i was pulling to a stop at a red light. i turned the car off and back on, it did not help this time - an ambulance came up behind me. i was in a panic trying to get the auto out of the way. luckily the left lane was open and they were able to blow past me, but they did honk as they passed letting me know they were upset that i did not move. i am picking up the car tomorrow from the dealership with a new etm. but i have poked around on various volvo forums and found this issue to be pretty prevalent. the repair is very expensive (around $1000 to the consumer) and the break down situation potentially very dangerous. *jb |
