NHTSA Complaint #10131855 — 2000 VOLVO S80

I OWNED A 2000 VOLVO S-80 SEDAN THAT HAD A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE ON 08/13/03 WHILE TRAVELING ON I-35 IN IOWA. THE ENGINE STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAD 53,487 MILES ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT VOLVO THROTTLE BODY FAILURES AND THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE INFORMED. I CONSIDERED THE CAR TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SOLD IT WITHIN A MONTH OF THE INCIDENT. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND ACCESSORIES AT BETTS AUTO CAMPUS IN DES MOINES, IOWA AT A COST OF $895.50. *NM
