| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After volvo performed their recall on my second failure electronic throttle module in april 2006 my cars stalls while driving without warning. at this time volvo replaced the failed etm and loaded new controller software into my car. in may 2006 i returned my car to volvo after 3 stalling events in one week's time, they told me the car set no codes therefore they could not help me until they car told them what was wrong. the problem did not reoccur again until july 8th. at this time i was driving with my family in the car and in a rolling backup at at 30 mph on i-95 in delaware. the first time was on a downhill section and i was able to restart the car without the car slowing down. the second stalling failure occurred with no warning other then the dash indicator lights coming on, on an uphill section with an semi following directly behind me. in the case also the car immediately restarted, however if this had not been the case my car and family would have been rear-ended by the semi. it is my understanding from research on the internet that the programming changes made by volvo make it more difficult for the etm to set a odi failure code. if this is the case, it may become impossible to determine an etm failure even when this failure results in an accident. the car is scheduled to be looked at on july, 21, 2006. *nm |
