| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: recently while driving my elderly mother in my 2001 volvo xc 70 from oregon to california we had a very unpleasant experience that could have cost us our lives. all of a sudden we lost total power in 70+ mph traffic, had to sit on a very busy freeway for 2 hours in 100 degree heat (unable to run the air conditioner) unable to get out of the vehicle due to heavy truck traffic flying past us. my dear mother and i were finally rescued and towed to safety some 70 miles to the nearest volvo dealer. there we were told that our etm had failed. i am concerned about this very dangerous problem as i have now been told that the part that they replaced (a $1200.00 repair) is simply another of the same known faulty part. my etm faild at only 50,000 miles and could have caused a major fatality. we were really lucky but what happens next time? from nhtsa web site. |
