NHTSA Complaint #10433008 — 2006 VOLVO S60

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED IN MY 2006 VOLVO S60. THE CAR ONLY HAS 72,702 MILES! THIS IS AFTER HAVING PAID SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE THE ETM CLEANED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ETM WAS OVER $800. AS I SEARCH THE INTERNET, THESE CARS SEEM TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO THINK THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR THIS PART, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS FAR LESS THAN 100,000 MILES!!! I DEMAND A RECALL AND WARRANTY REPLACEMENT! THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL VOLVO DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THESE UNITS NEED TO BE CLEANED OR SERVICED ABOUT EVERY 30K MILES. I HAVE A COPY OF MY RECEIPT FROM THIS WEEKS SERVICE. THIS PART SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY BY THE MANUFACTURER! BELIEVE ME, I'M ACTIVE ON THE WEB AND I'M GOING TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM VOLVOS. *TT
