Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2001 VOLVO S80 ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED AN ENGINE SURGE AND ON TWO OCCASIONS HAS SIMPLY LOST POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. BOTH TIMES A MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED STATING REDUCED PERFORMANCE BUT THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AT ALL. AFTER PULLING ON TO THE SHOULDER I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. THE PROBLEM HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE ETM. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED WHILE I TRY TO RAISE THE MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. AS A RETIRED STATE TROOPER I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HOPE THE NHTSA AND VOLVO WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE INJURIES OR FATALITIES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM
