NHTSA Complaint #10150033 — 2000 VOLVO V70XC

MY VOLVO V70 XC ALSO HAS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE ETM - ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE COSTING $1350. AFTER, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED, LOSING ALL POWER, SHUTTING DOWN, LOCKING UP, CAUSING ME AND THOSE AROUND ME A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE GARAGE ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE IN A VERY UNPREDICTABLE MANNER, LOSING ACCELERATION, STALLING, DYING, ANOTHER NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE WHEN IT DIED IN AN INTERSECTION, MULTIPLE TOWS AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT GARAGES, SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS OF NO ANSWERS LATER, ONE GARAGE WAS AWARE OF THE COMMONALITY OF THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE ETM. THIS WAS AT ~65K MILES. NOW AT 92K AND I AM BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS-CAR DYING, GOING INTO LIMP HOME MODE-20 MPH WITH NO ACCELERATION, ANOTHER $1000 IN REPAIRS WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION TO PROBLEMS. IT FEELS LIKE THE ETM MIGHT BE GOING AGAIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CARS THAT COST OVER $30000!! *JB
