NHTSA Complaint #10136373 — 2001 VOLVO XC70

SUSPECT FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE. VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES NOT ALWAYS RESTART UNTIL VEHICLE COOLS. A FOREIGN CAR SERVICE TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CURRENT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS NOT FUNCTIONING IN HIS OPINION. ON 9/13/05 I CALLED VOLVO SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE B.J. ALGER AT DON BEYER VOLVO, DULLES, VIRGINIA WHO ADVISED ME TO BRING IT N FOR REPAIR IMMEDIATELY. ALGER SAID THE PROBLEM IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA AND THAT VOLVO NORTH AMERICA WOULD REIMBURSE MY PAYMENT FOR THE REPAIR IF THE INVESTIGATION RESULTED IN A RECALL. ALGER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR AT $1,200.00. *JB
