| 2001 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | ON 14 OCT 05 AS I TURNED OFF A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN RICHMOND, VA MY 2001 VOLVO V70 T-5 BEGAN RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND A RED WARNING TRIANGLE ILLUMINATED AND I RECEIVED A MESSAGE WARNING ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. IT CLEARED AFTER I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HALF WAY TO CHARLOTTESVILLE BEFORE IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AGAIN. IT CONTINUED TO CYCLE BETWEEN NORMAL OPERATION AND ROUGH RUNNING UNTIL I REACHED THE VOLVO DEALER IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. ON 18 OCT 05, THE DEALER, VOLVO OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE AND REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $916.32. I LOOKED ON THE WEB TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT AN ETM IS AND DISCOVERED THE CASE AGAINST VOLVO CONCERNING ETM FAILURES. THIS IS A USED CAR THAT I PURCHASED IN OCT04 SO I HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING IF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. *JB |
