Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 VOLVO C70. THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY DRIVING 65 MPH AND WHILE DRIVING WENT INTO WHAT IS CALLED 'LIMP MODE' CAUSING A NEAR CRASH. THIS HAPPENED A 2ND TIME LATER THAT DAY. THE CAR NOW SURGES AT VARIOUS SPEED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS AT A VOLVO DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS SAFTEY ISSUE (ETM FAILURE WIDESPREAD IN THESE CARS) BUT VOLVO IS BEING DIFFICULT IN AUTHORIZING REPLACEMENT OF THESE ETM UNITS DESPITE A 10/YEAR 200,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR
