Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The electronic throttle module on my 2000 volvo s70 malfunctioned causing inability to accelerate. mileage = 61,694. the ets light came on the day prior to the incident. etm was replaced. after the etm module was replaced, the electronic windows would not function. i was informed by the volvo technician that this was a coincidence and not related to the etm replacement. prior to etm replacement, i had no problems with the electronic windows. last week while i was driving alone in my 2000 s70 volvo, the passenger seat fully reclined on its own. this incident reminded me of a similar scenario one week after purchasing the vehicle. the driver's seat fully reclined without anyone touching the electronic seat control. in december 2000, the turn signals and hazard lights switch was found to be faulty and was replaced under the warranty. then, in may, 2001, the drivers turn signal started blinking rapidly which was replaced under the recall campaign 101a and 101b. this makes me believe my entire vehicle's electronic system was defective from the day i purchased the vehicle. *nm
