Consumer Description

WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP, MY 2001 VOLVO S80 STARTED LURCHING FORWARD AND SPEEDING UP/SLOWING DOWN BY ITSELF. THE CAR WAS IDLING ERRATICALLY AND WOULD STALL OUT. AS I WAS AWAY FROM HOME AND NEEDED TO RETURN SOON, I TOOK MY CAR TO BE CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED AT A COST OF OVER $800.00. NOW I FIND OUT THAT VOLVO KNEW OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART AND THAT THERE MAY BE A RECALL AND I AM VERY ANGRY THAT I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE A PART THEY (VOLVO) KNEW WAS DEFECTIVE!!! ADDITIONALLY, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WONDER ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGER I AND MY FAMILY WERE UNKNOWINGLY SUBJECTED TO DUE TO VOLVO'S DECISION TO NOT INFORM CONSUMERS OF THIS DEFECT. *JB
