TWICE, WITHIN 50 METRES OF THE SAME SPOT EACH TIME, MY CAR HAS SUFFERED EXTREME ACCELERATION WHILST I WAS BRAKING AS HARD AS I COULD. FIRST TIME, MY MECHANIC CHECKED ALL COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS USING TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTER TESTING DEVICES BUT THERE WERE NO FAULT CODES. NOW, AS WELL AS HAPPENING TWICE WITHIN 50 METRES OF THE SAME SPOT, I WAS AT THE SAME SET OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHICH I DO NOT SUSPECT AS BEING THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO NEXT TO A MAJOR HOSPITAL WITH AN ADJACENT HELIPAD. MY BEST GUESS AFTER 57 YEARS IN ELECTRONICS AND 40+ IN COMPUTERS IS THAT SOME SORT OF RF INTERFERENCE IS UPSETTING MY VEHICLE. I KNOW VOLVO CHECK ALL ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THEIR CARS IN SWEDEN AND WONDER WHETHER THEY HAVE EVER COME ACROSS MY PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE SCREAMED ITS HEAD OFF ALTHOUGH I HAD NO TIME TO WORRY ABOUT THE TACHOMETER READING....
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 VOLVO S70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT BEGAN TO DRIVE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
MY 1999 S70 WITH APPROXIMATELY 92,000 HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: - SOMETIMES THE ENGINES START SHAKING? - HARD TO BRAKE - NO POWER EVEN IF YOU PEDAL IS AT THE MAX - CRUISE CONTROL STOP WORKING MY CAR HAS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE AND I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEAL TO GET THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. SINCE THE UPGRADE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT 02 SENSOR. NOW THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 20MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED. VOLVO WILL NOT REPAIR THIS KNOW ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS 10 1/2 YEARS OLD. THEY STATE IF THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 10YEARS OLD OR UNDER 200K IN MILEAGE THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. THIS IS NOT FAIR. THEY COULD HAVE REPLACED THIS ETM WHEN I CAME FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT THEY DID NOT. *TR
