Consumer Description

THIS COMPLAINT IS AGAINST VOLVO AMERICA, I OWN A 1999 VOLVO S70 WITH 214,000 MILES. VOLVO CLAIMS THAT IT HAD A SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE. VOLVO HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM, BUT IT ONLY COVERED THIS RECALL UPTO 200,000 MILES. MY VOLVO NEVER HAD THE PART REPLACED, VOLVO ONLY DID A "SOFTWARE UPGRADE." THE ETC IS FAILING AND MAY FAIL ON THE FREEWAY, PLACING MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHER AMERICAN DRIVERS IN DANGER. WHY HAS VOLVO GOT AWAY WITH FAILING ELECTRONICS WHICH WILL TURN THE CAR OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND WILL TAKE PEOPLE'S LIVES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
