| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While on a road trip, my 2001 volvo s80 started lurching forward and speeding up/slowing down by itself. the car was idling erratically and would stall out. as i was away from home and needed to return soon, i took my car to be checked out. i was told that i needed a new electronic throttle module. i had no choice but to have the car fixed at a cost of over $800.00. now i find out that volvo knew of problems with this particular part and that there may be a recall and i am very angry that i had to pay to replace a part they (volvo) knew was defective!!! additionally, and more importantly, i wonder about the potential danger i and my family were unknowingly subjected to due to volvo's decision to not inform consumers of this defect. *jb |
