| I have a 1999 volvo c70 and i am experiencing my car trying to push itself and the rpm idling very fast and the car feels like its going to shut off. i submitted a complaint already about my sons s60 and my s80, which are have the same troubles as my s80. the throttle control module i think is defective and should be recalled. luckily my car hasn't turn off on me yet, but one time getting out of my garage the car stalled. please get this problem fixed or recalled. thanks. *nm | |||

| Etm failed in car for the second time at 115,000 miles on vehicle, previously replaced september 2003 at 64,000 miles. driving from ohio to pa for thanksgiving ets light and check engine light illuminated. after thanksgiving dinner went to go home and my volvo c70 quit accelerating while entering a 4 lane highway from an entry ramp. fortunately, traffic was light and traffic was easily able to pass to the left until i coasted off to the berm of the road. the car was idling but did not have power to go up small grade. shut car off and restarted, throttle response resumed and was able to return home. dealer replaced etm module under recently announced extended warranty program on 12/2/2005. i do not have old part. *jb | |||

| Engine check light came on and we were told that nothing was wrong and it was reset. the second time the check engine light came on, the co2 sensor was replaced. the third time was the same day it was repaired for the 2nd time and the check engine light came on 20 miles later. the oxygen sensor was replaced again. in addition, the ignition & fuel injection fault tracing was found faulty. they also found that the mass air flow meter was faulty & had to be replaced, we've had problems with the air conditioner which has a constant ticking sound that they claim is normal for this model. the convertible top had to adjusted and the dashboard also has had to be remounted 3 times. this car has been tied up at the dealer for 40 days because of the check engine light that keeps coming on and we've been told not to worry about this. *ak | |||
