| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Etm bad/ electronic throttle module this has been a nightmare and it's not resolved yet! i bought my used volvo s-80 t6 october 20 th with 76,000 miles. within the day of ownership the service engine required light came on, and i failed mass inspection. i tried to get my money back, but i bought out of state, and they refuse to return calls. i researched the problem and found it was the etm. on wednesday nov 10th 2005, i called my local dealer pioneer volvo in south deerfield mass 1 800 680 2140, and was informed that the etm warranty expired at 70,000 miles, at 76,000 mile, there was no warranty. i asked him about known problems with the etm, and denied that he was aware of any! i asked him for an appointment, explained that he is the closest dealer at 47 minutes away, and that i needed help asap due to failed emissions. he told me "bring it in...at 9 30 am and maybe i'll look at it....when i asked him for a guaranteed time....he said ..."maybe in 2 weeks" i decided to fix the problem myself by cleaning the etm, which i understand helps temporarily. i had no choice being i am extremely busy in an unflexible job and financially strapped. however, when reinstalling the etm, the bolts are designed to sheer. the bolt snapped and i have been under my car for 3 days....still can't extract it. i need my car! i need it to pass inspection! why won't volvo cover this? *nm |
