| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dt: when the surging happens there are no necessarily warning messages. the first time the throttle module was replaced there were some messages on the dash, but for items not related to the throttle module. the second time there were not any messages until the car died and would not start. the third time the car started to surge , and brought the car to dealer before it got too bad. basically, it would be necessary to replace throttle module a fourth time. the contact only had to pay for 1 replacement, and then it was replaced 2 more times by the dealer at no cost. from the time the surging started to the car stalled. the cleaning of the throttle module will keep the car running good. it seemed that the contact has to clean it every 6 months. it started to surge. about 8000 - 10000 miles. the last time it was replaced was 5/14/04 ,and i the contact cleaned it twice since then. volvo told the contact that they would not warranty it any more because the contact declined to have them do $1000 worth of work that did not need to be done. the contact ended up doing the work himself, and there was nothing wrong with the parts they said were bad. *ak |
