Consumer Description

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT 2001 VOLVO WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, AND THAT WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE MORNINGS. CONSUMER SUGGESTED THAT WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD IN THE MORNINGS AND UPON STARTING THE CAR IT STALLED BEFORE CONSUMER COULD GET IT INTO REVERSE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 2001. CONSUMER TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE ( ETM) INSTALLED , THE COST WAS $1800.00. CONSUMER WAS UPSET OVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT PART. EVEN WITH THE NEW ETM THE CAR WAS HAVING THE SAME STALLING ISSUES. NHTSA INVESTIGATION, PE0504. *AK *NM
