NHTSA Complaint #10132905 — 2001 VOLVO S80

I WAS ON THE RAMP GETTING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND A SEMI WAS GOING TO HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR BECAUSE I GOT OUT THERE IN FRONT OF HIM AND THEN I CAN'T MOVE. SO TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT, I DARTED OF THE HIGHWAY UNTO THE SHOULDER WITH THE DISMAY OF THE TRUCK DRIVER. THE INFORMATION IN THE LEFT CORNER GAVE "PERFORMANCE REDUCED". I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. SO I HAD IT TOWED, AND WITHOUT FINDING ANYTHING THE FIRST DAY, THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. SO I HAD TO PAY OVER $1000 TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS WAS BACK IN MARCH, AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM NOT GOING TO PAY ANOTHER $1000 FOR THE SAME THING. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND I ALREADY PAID OVER $1000 TO GET IT FIXED, AND NOW I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET AGAIN ONLY 4 MONTHS LATER. THIS IS HORRIBLE, AND VOLVO SHOULD RECALL ALL THE CARS WITH THIS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. I HAVE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIME BECAUSE OF THE RESULT OF THIS DEFECT. I REFUSE TO GET IT FIXED, BECAUSE VOLVO WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AND IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. VOLVO NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS, BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT ON THEIR END. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS FIXED. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER $1000 TO GET THIS FIXED EVERY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS!!! *NM
