| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1999 volvo v70 etm (electronic throttle module) failure - my wife and 3 year old daughter were driving the car on a major four lane avenue, in heavy traffic, when the etm failed. the car started idling rough. when she came to a stop light, she had to press the brake extremely hard to prevent the car from lunging into the vehicle in front of her. when she accelerated to proceed, the car would only go a maximum of 30 mph, even with the accelerator pressed to the floor. luckily, the crown volvo dealership (greensboro, nc) was on the same stretch of avenue. she managed to get to the dealership and get it repaired. we were devastated when they told us the repair would cost $934.00. we were able to get that reduced to $836.24, because we just happen to have a $100 discount coupon in the glove compartment. we had just had a 60,000 mile service performed on the car a couple months ago. the actual mileage when the etm failed was 64,284. the repair included replacing the faulty etm, a gasket, and a etm program reload. *jb |
