Consumer Description

CAR HESITATES AND/OR STALLS ON ACCELERATION FOR PAST 20,000 MILES. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS FROM VOLVO DEALER SHOWED "NO FAULT CODES STORED, UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE." FINALLY, TODAY I STALLED WHILE MAKING A TURN AND ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED. JUST AFTER THAT AN ETS LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD "IT WILL COST UP TO $1000 TO REPLACE THE PART." THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND TO THINK THAT VOLVO KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (I SURFED THE INTERNET AND FOUND RIGHT AWAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM) AND LET ME TAKE THE CAR OUT WITH THIS ISSUE KNOWN. (REGARDLESS OF A FAULT CODE STORED)*JB
