1999 VOLVO S70 Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

CAR HESITATES AND/OR STALLS ON ACCELERATION FOR PAST 20,000 MILES. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS FROM VOLVO DEALER SHOWED "NO FAULT CODES STORED, UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE." FINALLY, TODAY I STALLED WHILE MAKING A TURN AND ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED. JUST AFTER THAT AN ETS LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD "IT WILL COST UP TO $1000 TO REPLACE THE PART." THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND TO THINK THAT VOLVO KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (I SURFED THE INTERNET AND FOUND RIGHT AWAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM) AND LET ME TAKE THE CAR OUT WITH THIS ISSUE KNOWN. (REGARDLESS OF A FAULT CODE STORED)*JB

VEHICLE STALLS AT ANY SPEED, HAS STALLED 3 TIMES. DEALER HAS REPLACED ETS SYSTEM, THIS HAS NOT REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.*AK

VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL/BRAKE AND ENGINE PROBLEMS. BRAKE PEDAL HAS A CLICKING NOISE, AND AFTER THE THIRD CLICK, BRAKE PEDAL LOCKS UP. ALSO, ENGINE FAILED TWICE. FAILURE A RESULT OF THE ENGINE FLOODING ITSELF, RUINING THE SPARK PLUGS. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ENGINE WAS REPLACED. BRAKES WILL ALSO OCCASIONALLY SINK INTO THE FLOOR. THESE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST AFTER BEING REPAIRED TWICE. IN ADDITION THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES--THE TURN SIGNALS WENT OUT, BOTH HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, AND THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. *AK *ML

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTSDOWN, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

ENGINE WILL RUN LIKE IT'S FLOODED. RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. PRIOR TO VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER IS REPAIRING VEHICLE AGAIN, AND HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE TWICE BEFORE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

THE ENHGINE WILL BEGIN TO RUN ROUGHLY (AS THOUGH IT IS FLOODED) LOSES, POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE "ETS" AND "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTS COME ON. THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS TO PULL OVER, SWITCH OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTART. IF THE *AK
