Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2001 VOLVO V70 XC, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE - REDUCED PERFORMANCE MODE. I GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED IT RAN OK AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY VOLVO CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND IN THE RECORDED FAULT CODES A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL UNIT (ETC). THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR AND IT STOPPED TWICE ON THE TECHNICIAN. ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! I HAD IT THE UNIT REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS INVESTIGATED. TWO OTHER CARS AT THIS SHOP HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VOLVO SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS SERIOUS DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND THE POWER ASSISTED BRAKES AND POWER STEERING BECOME INOPERABLE. THIS IS UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE05041. *NM
