Consumer Description

VOLVO S80 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05041 SAW THAT NHTSA RECENTLY OPENED AN INQUIRY INTO ISSUE OF ETM IN VOLVOS AND WANTED TO ADD MY CAR TO LIST OF COMPLAINTS RECEIVED. I HAD MANY INCIDENTS OF CAR SUDDENLY KILLING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC OVER THE COURSE OF FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY DUE TO EXTREME DEFENSIVE DRIVING: AVOIDED RUSH HOUR, STAYED TO OUTSIDE LANES, WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER, ETC. DEALER WAS AWARE THAT ETM WAS ISSUE, BUT EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSED TO COVER BECAUSE ERROR CODES DID NOT STAY IN CAR COMPUTER. ONCE ETM WAS REPLACE EARLIER THIS YEAR, CAR HAS BEEN WORKING FINE. *JB
