Consumer Description

1999 VOLVO S70'S ETM (THROTTLE) HAD ACTED UP IN JUNE/JULY 2004, PAID AROUND $900 IN JULY 2004 TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE THROTTLE CAUSED THE CAR TO GO DEAD MULTIPLE TIMES & STRONGLY REV ITSELF OCCASIONALLY. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN STOPPED. I WOULD OCCASIONALLY HAVE TO KEEP FOOT ON THE GAS TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GOING DEAD. ***NOW LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER HAVING THE PROBLEM "FIXED" (REPLACED UNIT) - THE PROBLEM IS BACK. THE CAR HAS GONE BACK TO SAME ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR SLOWLY, FROM GOOD PERFORMANCE TO BAD, IT TOOK ONLY ONE WEEK FOR IT TO RECCUR. *JB
