Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 volvo v70xc cross country. i had a problem with the electronic throttle module ( throttle body) according to many owners with 98-00 v70, c70, s70, they also have had the same problem. these parts aren't suppose to break ,they are part of the accelerator. my car stopped in the middle of the expressway due the the throttle body. it cost me a lot of money close to a $1000. instead of recalling these parts volvo has not, resulting in many failures, and is very costly. i do not want me and my family to b esubjected to that, next time we could possibly be dead. it has been on the news. volvo agreed to extend the warranty, but the part is still defective, and should be redesigned, and put in all the cars that have the old throttle body. volvo is suppose to be about saferty , seems to me they care more about themselves and there pockets instead of the customers and there families. *ak
