| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 99 volvo s70. the ets light has been coming on regularly. the info in the owners manual just says to turn the car off and then turn it on again and see if the light goes away. it has in the past but it's coming on all the time now. i looked on" edmunds" to see if there was a recall.. and there was nothing there.. but then i saw a volvo owners forum and there were lots of emails about this problem. they said it was pretty dangerous because your throttle just stops working. we commute to boston everyday ( my husband does not get out of work until after 10:00pm ).. and it's very dangerous as it is.. but to think about losing the throttle scares the heck out of me. i can't imagine that happening at midnight on route 128. it would be suicide. i was unable to find recall.. but a mechanic around here told me the cost to repair is about 850.00!l i have an appointment at a dealer on friday.. but it would sure help to know if there was recall. thank you for your help. *nm |
