Consumer Description

BOUGHT USED 2000 VOLVO V70 XC 3 WEEKS AGO. DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, FELT LIKE BUCKING & FLAT TIRE. THEN THE CAR JUST DIED. ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL / MODULE) LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $900 TO FIX AND THAT ONLY A VOLVO DEALER COULD FIX IT, NOT MY VOLVO MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD BY VOLVO OVER THE TELEPHONE THAT THIS WAS "BEING LOOKED INTO" THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IF I WAS GOING ANY FASTER I FEEL AS THOUGH IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD IN VT AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. IT WAS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT RUN AT ALL. I COULD NOT MOVE IT ON MY OWN.
