VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED VEHICLE USED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. WHILE PERFORMING FINE DURING TEST DRIVE, WITHIN HOURS VEHICLE DEVELOPED ISSUE WHERE IT ATTEMPTS TO SURGE FORWARD WHILE BRAKING (AT STOP LIGHT, IN DRIVEWAY, ETC.) WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS. OTHER TIMES, WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR HESITATES AND ALMOST STALLS BEFORE ACCELERATING, CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKES INSPECTED AND ARE PERFECT AS IS FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS, ENGINE, ETC.; MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A RECALL VOLVO ISSUED IN 2006 REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. VOLVO INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NO LONGER HONORING THIS RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2000 VOLVO S70 WITH ETS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE CAR STALLS AND SURGES/LUNGES AT ALL RATES OF SPEED AND IS VERY UNSAFE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND RAN THE VIN#. THEY STATED THE RECALL WAS DONE IN 2009. I CALLED VOLVO CORP. CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS TOO OLD AND NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY/RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR A FAULTY PART BY THE OEM MANUFACTURE WHEN THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY PART WITH FAULTY PARTS. IN MY RESEARCH I FOUND OUT IF MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACE IT WOULD HAVE A YELLOW LABEL ON IT. MINE DOES NOT. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL WHITE LABEL ON IT. I BELIEVE THAT IT MAY HAVE HAD THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND CLEANED BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ACTUAL UNIT WAS REPLACED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL VOLVO STORE IN WINTER PARK FL WHERE I WAS CHARGED A TOTAL OF $127 AND SOME CHANGE TO TELL ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD REQUIRE A NEW SOFTWARE UPGRADE. TOTAL COST TO REPAIR $880.00 AND QUOTE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS INCLUDED. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR. I BOUGHT IT WITH 75,000 MILES AND CURRENTLY HAVE 92,000 MILES. VOLVOS EFFORTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS NOT WORKING AND IF IT DOES WORK IT DOES NOT FIX THE CAR FOR VERY LONG. WHY IS IT THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE RECALL PART IS BASED ON THE TOTAL VEHICLE MILEAGE AND AGE INSTEAD OF THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART OR FROM THE TIME THE RECALL WAS ISSUED? I DO NOT HAVE ANY FAITH THAT SPENDING THE MONEY TO FIX THE CAR WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM ONLY DELAY IT FROM RECURRING WITH IN MONTHS OR FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS IS STILL AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND VOLVO DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE THAT THEY ARE PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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. THE NOISE ITSELF WAS ADEQUATE WARNING AND THE LACK OF BRAKING MEANT THAT I HAD TO KILL THE IGNITION TO RECOVER MINE AND THE VEHICLES COMPOSURE. SWITCHING ON THE IGNITION AGAIN BOTH TIMES, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN IDLED NORMALLY AND OPERATED AS IT SHOULD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I WAS UNABLE TO START THE VOLVO S70 2000 ENGINE AT ALL ON 7/2/12 AND AFTER CHECKED BY TECHNICIAN THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEMS HAD OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, YET I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS TIME, THE ENGINE WAS NOT STARTED AT ALL EVEN WITH MANY TRIES THAT THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT IS DEFINITELY NEEDED AND IT COSTS ME $732 TO FIX IT ON 7/3/12. BASED ON THE VOLVO RECALLS HISTORY, VOLVO S70 FROM 2001 FORWARDS MODELS WERE RECALLED. BUT I WONDER WHY WAS NOT FOR MY S70 2000 WHICH HAD THE SIMILAR PROBLEM. PLEASE INSTRUCT AND ASSIST ON HOW TO RECEIVED REIMBURSEMENT FROM VOLVO THE COST OF THE FUEL REPLACEMENT SINCE THIS WAS THE SIMILAR PROBLEM IN THE RECALLS FOR VOLVO S70 FROM 2001 FORWARDS MODELS. *JS

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRST STALLING EPISODE AND ETS LIGHT ON. CALLED VOLVO DUE TO A REPLACEMENT/EXTENDED WARRANTY ON AFFECTED PART. WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT REPLACED AND THE WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER COVERING CAR (10 YEARS/200000 MILES). AS A RECENT PURCHASER OF THIS CAR I HAD NO CLUE OF THE REPLACEMENT NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE OR EVEN NEEDED. ALL WAS NEW TO ME AND THEY REFUSED. MOVING FORWARD ONE YEAR AND CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND, NO DASH LIGHTS AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF ETM. CAR WON'T STAY RUNNING AT ALL, TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AFTER THIS INCIDENT. NO WARRANTY ON PART, NO REPLACEMENT AND NOW I HAVE $ 4000 BOAT ANCHOR THAT WILL COST A FORTUNE TO FIX DUE TO NO WARRANTY ON THE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED YEARS AGO BY VOLVO. *JB
