7/26/07 TRAVELING ON I-77 AND THE CAR RAN GREAT. SUDDENLY, IN SAME MANNER AS CAR DID APPROX 2 YRS AGO ON SAME INTERSTATE RPMS DROPPED, CAR LOST SPEED, NO RESPONSE AT THROTTLE, AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS WE LOST POWER, BRAKES, STEERING. SINCE THIS SEEMED JUST LIKE 2 YRS AGO (WE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT IN 2005) WE THOUGHT MAYBE THE CAR WILL START IN 10-15M. AFTER 15-20 M OF ATTEMPTS WHERE CAR STARTED & IMMEDIATELY STALLED CAR DID START AND RAN FINE. SINCE 2 YEARS AGO DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE & CORRECT WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THAT EVENING AND AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN ON I-? NEAR ATLANTA, BUT THIS TIME IN MORE TRAFFIC WITH DIFFICULTY GETTING CAR TO SIDE SAFELY. AGAIN CAR STARTED LIKE THE EVENING BEFORE. AGAIN-SIMILAR FUEL LEVEL. WE TRAVELED 2 1/2 MORE HOURS ON INTERSTATE. AT DESTINATION AND LOCAL...
I WAS IN A 2001 VOLVO XC 70, MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF LEAVING ME WITH NO ACCELERATION AS I TRIED TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD TWO KIDS IN THE CAR AND THANK GOD NO ONE WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY. THE CAR THEN STARTED TO SHUDDER AND I TURNED IT OFF. *JB
THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OUR 2001 VOLVO VXC70 STATION WAGON. ON A BUSY ROAD, DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR LOST ENGINE POWER AND NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS FAILED AND THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY TO GET THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! THE REASON THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING FILED IS THE KNOWLEDGE THAT OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN FILED WITH YOUR AGENCY. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE BASIS FOR A RECALL TO ADDRESS WHATEVER FIXES OR CHANGES ARE NECESSARY TO PRECLUDE ANY RECURRENCE. *JB
1) ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE (ETM) SHUTS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL WHERE YOU HAVE NO CONTROL ON ACCELERATION 2) ETM SHUTDOWN COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT 3) REPLACE THE ETM AT $1100 THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED UNDER WARRANTY TO CLEAN THE ETM. *JB
