| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a volvo s60 and have experienced an electronic throttle module failure. as the volvo dealer has told me. "oh yeah, we keep those in stock. manufacturing flaw. they are burning out like crazy." the repair is going to cost me $900 usd and i am absolutely livid. some research has yielded that an excess of 200,000 vehicles could be affected and so far tens of thousands have been diagnosed and cleaned, or replaced. my vehicle has received the "software upgrade 'recall'", but clearly to no avail. my car has only 60,000 miles on it and has to have a faulty manufactured part replaced. i bought volvo for the reliability and service and thus far, have received neither. this is a serious problem that results in excessive and sudden stalling in traffic, open road, and parked conditions. as a direct result of this defect, i was almost sandwiched and no doubt would have been seriously injured, if not killed, by two tractor trailers on a merge on route 295. i'm afraid that volvo and the us government is awaiting fatalities or ford's sale to a foreign competitor (bmw) before issuing the recall. this is dirty pool and i am requesting this association to make a once good company remember their roots in safety and responsibility. thank you for your time. *tr |
