Consumer Description

VOLVO S70 1999 MODEL, 3 TIMES HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING..ETS WILL LIGHT UP ON THE CONTROL PANEL AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WILL NO LONGER MOVE FORWARD. I SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF SO I CAN ONCE AGAIN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND LUCKILY I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED WHILE MOVING OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I REPORTED IT TO VOLVO OF CLEAR LAKE WHO REPORTED NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE CAR COMPUTER DID HAVE IT RECORDED THAT A PROBLEM HAD HAPPENED WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT AFTER AN INSPECTION BY VOLVO, NO REPAIR WAS MADE TO THE SYSTEM. I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IN ANY FREEWAY LANE THAT IS NOT NEXT TO A SHOULDER....I MUST ALWAYS BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AT ANY TIME. NO SPECIAL EVENT HAS LED/CAUSED THIS FAILURE. I ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR INTO THE VOLVO DEALER FOR THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE. *NM
