Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased a 1999 volvo s80 in june 2000. since that time on dozens of occasions warning messages have constantly appeared on the dash display, i.e. fuel filler cap loose, emission system service required, and engine system service urgent. we had the vehicle checked by volvo of annapolis for this problem and were informed that there was nothing wrong. since then we have had the s80 checked by a reputable aaa certified auto service center who informed us that the throttle body was the cause of the problem and that volvo had to rectify the problem which is very common. when the error message engine system service urgent appears the cruise control disconnects and will not re-engage. the vehicle surges and is a constant worry for my spouse who primarily operates the vehicle. *nm
