| I am writing you today in regard of a recall for my 1999 volvo s80's etm (electronic throttle module). in 2006, there was a class action lawsuit in which volvo agreed to extend the warranty of the etm to 10 years or 200,000 miles. i have owned the car for about a year and bought the car from my father. my father owned the car since 2007, and had frustratingly spent a total of approximately $7,000 in (documented) repairs. he never received notification of this recall and would have undoubtedly made that repair knowing the part was recalled and there was a strong likelihood the part was defective. the car as of now has under 126,000 miles and has been out of warranty since 2009. volvo will cover a software upgrade for free, but in the event the software patch fails, the repair will cost in upwards of $1000. is there anything you can do on my behalf to get that repair taken care of? | |||

| Five lane rush hour freeway driving, 1999 volvo s80 t6 went into limp home mode without warning. with high speed tractor trailers coming up the rear, there was absolutely no acceleration response from my vehicle. fortunately was able to quickly push the hazard warning indicator and move over to the shoulder. this is potentially very dangerous and could have caused serious injury to myself or others. after speaking with several service managers at local dealerships, i am less than satisfied that the seriousness of this defect is properly acknowledged. according to volvo north america customer service rep, the symptoms suggest a defective etm (electronic throttle module). *tr | |||

| For the past year my check engine and urgent light have been popping on. i have to go to my machanic (who is volvo certified) to have them turn off. but the check engine light comes on more frequent now. for the past 6 months, when i start the car, it hesitates and runs rough, like it is going to stall. the first time this happened my machanic said it needed a tune up. today 10/19/06 i brought it to my macanic again, and they told me it was the throttle module and the 1999 s80 's are having all the same problems, and that i need to take it to an authorized dealer, before it gets worse. *nm | |||

| After volvo performed their recall on my second failure electronic throttle module in april 2006 my cars stalls while driving without warning. at this time volvo replaced the failed etm and loaded new controller software into my car. in may 2006 i returned my car to volvo after 3 stalling events in one week's time, they told me the car set no codes therefore they could not help me until they car told them what was wrong. the problem did not reoccur again until july 8th. at this time i was driving with my family in the car and in a rolling backup at at 30 mph on i-95 in delaware. the first time was on a downhill section and i was able to restart the car without the car slowing down. the second stalling failure occurred with no warning other then the dash indicator lights coming on, on an uphill section with an semi following directly behind me. in the case also the car immediately restarted, however if this had not been the case my car and family would have been rear-ended by the semi. it is my understanding from research on the internet that the programming changes made by volvo make it more difficult for the etm to set a odi failure code. if this is the case, it may become impossible to determine an etm failure even when this failure results in an accident. the car is scheduled to be looked at on july, 21, 2006. *nm | |||

| Just after entering the highway and attaining highway speed my 1999 vovlo s80 lost power and had to be coasted off the ramp. the emission service warning came on and the vehicle was idling very rough. the car was towed in to a repair shop and the computer codes indicated the throttle module had failed. after hearing that their was an extended warranty issued i checked the website and learned that this had happened to others. fortunately this power failure occurred while in the rt hand aloowing the vehicle to safely exit the hwy without incident. had this loss of power occurred in ione the interior lanes then this incident would've ended in a collision and most likely resulted in injuries to my family. this condition warrants an immediate recall. *nm | |||

| Purchased a 1999 volvo s80 in june 2000. since that time on dozens of occasions warning messages have constantly appeared on the dash display, i.e. fuel filler cap loose, emission system service required, and engine system service urgent. we had the vehicle checked by volvo of annapolis for this problem and were informed that there was nothing wrong. since then we have had the s80 checked by a reputable aaa certified auto service center who informed us that the throttle body was the cause of the problem and that volvo had to rectify the problem which is very common. when the error message engine system service urgent appears the cruise control disconnects and will not re-engage. the vehicle surges and is a constant worry for my spouse who primarily operates the vehicle. *nm | |||

| Dt: when the surging happens there are no necessarily warning messages. the first time the throttle module was replaced there were some messages on the dash, but for items not related to the throttle module. the second time there were not any messages until the car died and would not start. the third time the car started to surge , and brought the car to dealer before it got too bad. basically, it would be necessary to replace throttle module a fourth time. the contact only had to pay for 1 replacement, and then it was replaced 2 more times by the dealer at no cost. from the time the surging started to the car stalled. the cleaning of the throttle module will keep the car running good. it seemed that the contact has to clean it every 6 months. it started to surge. about 8000 - 10000 miles. the last time it was replaced was 5/14/04 ,and i the contact cleaned it twice since then. volvo told the contact that they would not warranty it any more because the contact declined to have them do $1000 worth of work that did not need to be done. the contact ended up doing the work himself, and there was nothing wrong with the parts they said were bad. *ak | |||

| Months prior to electronic throttle module needing replacement , at my cost, 1999 volvo s80t (@85k miles) engine idle surging and engine warning lights randomly occurred, requiring restarting car when it stalled in heavy traffic. new throttle(gas pedal) was replaced but did not resolve problem. lastly, while driving on an interstate highway, car would not accelerated beyond 20 mph(limp home mode) and volvo dealer replaced etm to resolve problem. about a year before, the abs module was replaced(under extended warranty) because a multitude of warning lights were occurring (abs, brakes, power steering). while i'm listing failures, the engine cooling fan needed to be replaced(under extended warranty). *jb | |||

| My 1999 volvo s-80 t-6 suffers from a design flaw associated with the throttle body and engine warning light. the light is on all of the time. servicing does not clear the light, so i have begun to simply ignore the light. the throttle body has a problem where the engine runs properly for 20,000 then begins to oscillate upand down by 200-300 rmps at idle. this seems minor, but it almost caused a major accident yesterday. when slowing to a stop at a major intersection, the engine slowed to idle and then sped up just as i was about to come to a stop. the higher rpm caused the car to move into the intersection. if another car had been approaching, it would have struck my car. i asked my wife (this is her primary car)if she had experienced the same problem and she said she had several times. i went on the web and found that many volvo owners are experiencing the same rpm and engine light problems. i do not know if they have had the same near accident i did, but i must assume they have. have you received other complaints about this problem and has volvo been notified? i contacted volvo and they denied any problem. the words on the internet tell me they are mistaken. some one could get killed by this design flaw. *ak | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds (15-75 mph) on normal road conditions with the cruise control engaged and after an extended ride from 45 to 90 minutes, all warning lights illuminated. the cruise control disengaged by it self and the engine hesitated. the vehicle was taken to the dealership twice, who performed a nhtsa recall #06v41000 which entailed upgrading the current software. however, the problem was not corrected either time, the lurch/stall problem continued. the dealership and the manufacturer coincided the replacement of the air flow control and the abs control unit was not covered by the vehicle's extended warranty, eventhough those replacement corrected the problem. the contact was very concerned because the recall did not solve the dangerous problem. updated 12/28/2006 - *nm | |||

| The information panel gives the following warnings: brake failure stop safely asap (t2 goes to ------) stc service required' when this happens the cruise control doesn't work. we have called the dealer to find out what to do. he says to bring the car in when the message is showing. the message comes and goes and isn't consistent enough to be able to take it to the dealer when it is on. we were told that the brakes should work without the abs feature. the dealer has moved to 45 miles from our house. we believe that this is a false warning. *nm | |||
