| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 volvo v70 t5. this car has the high failure rate electronic throttle module component. during highway driving, i experienced a sudden loss of power while in passing lane of a 2 lane highway. the message window on the dash flashed "performance reduced" this occurred during while passing a semi with other cars following closely behind in a caravan. it was in pouring rain with water from the semi splashing over the windshield. needlesstosay, this was a nervous moment when power was suddenly lost. i was able to slow down and pull off to the next exit ramp where the engine was sputtering while idling. shutting off the engine and restarting made the problem disappear. about 3 months later, i'm getting "performance reduced" message nearly every day. finally trace it down to the etm internal fault using a obdii reader i purchased to diagnose this problem. volvo dealer confirmed the finding and replaced the etm. *nm |
