ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON I695, NEAR TOWSON, MD. WAITED 30 MINUTES AND RE-STARTED VEHICLE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ETM THROTTLE MODULE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT THE ETM SHOULD BE REPLACED, AS HE HAD SEEN MANY OTHER VOLVO ETM FAILURES.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2001 VOLVO V70 CROSS COUNTRY HAS LOST POWER AND STALLED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. ONCE AS MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE CROSSING A DOUBLE SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS AND ONCE WHEN MY WIFE AND A FRIEND WERE BISECTING A BUSY INTERSECTION. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER VOLVO OWNERS AND THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ETM (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE). IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERNS AT A COST OF $1,000.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2004, MY VOLVO XC-70 (2001) STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON 695 WEST IN BALTIMORE JUST BEFORE THE EXIT FOR I-83N (EXIT 24). I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI AND SEVERAL OTHER CARS. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, ON DECEMBER 1, 2004, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN MY CAR STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION BUT WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2001 VOLVO XC70 WITH 16,535 MILES IN AUGUST 2004, I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER (BORTON VOLVO) FOUR TIMES TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE: GASOLINE SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK UPON COMPLETION OF FILLING. THIS OCCURS AT ANY AND ALL GAS STATIONS, EVEN AFTER THE FOLLOWING REMEDIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN: VENT CLEANING, FUEL CONTROL REPLACEMENT, FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT, SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT, EVAPORATION CANNISTER REPLACEMENT, AND FILLER NECK REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. EVEN FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT OF THE AFORMENTIONED PARTS, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE. I HAVE ONLY 61000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THIS. ON MOST CARS THIS PART HAS LIFETIME WARRANTY OR AT LEAST 70,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING 70MPH WHEN MY CAR STARTED SUDDENLY SHAKING, CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO STOP. MANUAL DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING ABOUT "PERFORMACE REDUCED" ERROR AND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S THROITTLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. $1200 LATER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY BREAKS. I THINK THIS WRONG FOR VOLVO NOT TO RECOGNIZE THA THERE IS A PROBLEM, EXTEND THE WARRANTY, AND RECALL ALL THE BAD PARTS.
