Consumer Description

VOLVO S80 T6 1999. DEFECTIVE ETM (THROTTLE MODULE OR THROTTLE UNIT). THIS MODULE FAILED AT ONLY 64,000 MILES AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER VOLVO WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALMOSY EVERY OWNER OF THIS MODEL YEAR. I'M ASKING FOR VOLVO TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST (PARTS AND LABOR). THE FAILURE OF THIS UNIT COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY AND/OR DEATH AS THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL DIE AT ANY SPEED AND ANYWHERE WITHOUT NOTICE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACEMENT COST IS OVER $1000.
