| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The ets (electronic throttle system) light came on repeatedly over a period of two weeks. on two occasions, on the highway, the car lost power totally when the light illuminated. the dealer said the car needs a new electronic throttle module (etm), which will cost about $1,500. this car has 85,000 miles, virtually all of which were highway miles as it is used to commute from ma to ct. a search of the web indicated that this sensor--the etm--was defective in 1999 and 2000 volvos. in july 2001, volvo issued a tech bulletin stating that problems occurred only when the owner made many short trips. further, the tech bulletins said the etm could be cleaned (but not replaced) if the car still was under the original warranty. this car has 85,000 and has always been serviced by a volvo dealer. *nm |
