| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Vehicle required a new electronic throttle body despite being only six years old and having only 56,410 miles. vehicle was initially mildly hesitating and jerking, then worsened to the point where we were concerned for our safety. we had no choice but to go to the dealer and spend $1,078.93 to replace the part. (kbb values vehicle at $14,365, so this repair cost approx. 7.5% of the value of the vehicle!) worse yet, the part was replaced with the exact same part, not a newer/re-engineered one less likely to fail. we have saved the part if anybody wants to look at it. this is not why we bought a volvo. *nm |
