Consumer Description

I WAS IN HEAVY COMMUTE TRAFFIC, GOING ABOUT 60 MPH, WHEN MY VOLVO CROSS COUNTRY [2001] SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AFTER TOWING, I WAS TOLD THAT MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE HAD FAILED. THE REPLACEMENT COST WAS ABOUT $1100. SUBSEQUENTLY, I WAS MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND A CLASS ACTION IS FILED IN CA. I HAD NO EARLIER PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE, AND HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY CAR. I HOPE THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION IS FRUITFUL, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. MY SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN ONE OR MORE FATALITIES. *NM
