Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I operate a 2000 volvo s-80. it has 70,000 miles. recently it has uneven engine idle problem especially when a/c is on. for two occasions, the car was stranded on the freeway because the engine suddenly stopped. the car was inspected by the local garage, the throttle assembly was cleaned, but the mechanic gave no guarantee because he said the computer which controls the throttle may have the problem and he has no replacement parts. two weeks later, i received a notice from the volvo stating my car might have the ets (electronic throttle system) problem and they offer the refund of repair cost. i submitted my refund request three weeks ago but received no response. currently the car still has the same problem.*jb
