Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 S60 VOLVO. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE CAR WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND THE SPEED WOULD QUICKLY DROP TO 10 MPH AND THE MESSAGE REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE WOULD BE DISPLAYED. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST THAT SPEED. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE QUICK DROP IN SPEED MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE CAR NEEDS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM REPLACED. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OLDER MODELS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED AFTER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, HOWEVER; IT IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR REACHES 100,000 MILES. *TR
