| Our 2000 volvo xc70 stationwagon experienced sluggish speed on a wednesday - it did not like to accelerate. it was also going through oil, which the volvo dealership said was normal for a car of this age - it only had 80,000 miles on it. on thursday, the car would not start (it was very cold). we took the car to the repair shop and they found that it has oil pump problem that does not get oil into the engine. we therefore need a new engine. he also noted issues with the drive train. *tr | |||

| While on a vacation in montana our 2000 volvo xc70 had rought idle, stalling, no response to accelerator (would not go above 20 mph) and eventually would not start. there were no volvo dealers in montana for repair and a local mechanic instructed us to pull the main fuse to re-set the computer. this would get us going again but it would happen again every 50 or so miles. dealership back at home replace the electronic throttle module at a cost of $1200. there appears to be a high number of etm failures in these cars and it is a known problem with volvo. | |||
