Consumer Description

11/12/04 MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR REPLACED 12/16/04 MAP SENSOR & SHUT OFF VALVE REPLACED 3/15/05 SHUT OFF VALVE REPLACED AGAIN! 1/18 05 MASTER WINDOW SWITCH PACK REPLACED - 5/31/05 MASTER WINDOW SWITCH PACK REPLACED AGAIN!! 3/17/05 ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE REPLACED!!! 5/9/05 OXYGEN SENSOR AND ABS CONTROL UNIT REPLACED. WHEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE FAILED IN MARCH 2005, MY 1999 VOLVO V70 HAD ONLY 55,000 MILES ON IT! I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER AND HAD NO WAY TO GET BACK ONTO THE ROAD SAFELY.....I HAVE SPENT OVER $4000 IN THE PAST YEAR REPLACING ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNITS IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS CAR SAFE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF SOMETHING ELSE GOING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE FOUR SMALL GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE WITH ME AT LEAST THREE DAYS A WEEK. *NM
