Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The abs / traction control unit on these cars fail in unreasonably high numbers. it's such a big business, that mechanics sell thousands of refurbished units on ebay. volvo charges over $700 for the parts, and is avoiding repairing this item because i'm sure some actuary told them it's cheaper to pay claims and defend lawsuits than to protect their customers. i have not experienced an accident or crash as a result, but i'm sure hundreds of people have. *nm
