- Glenmoore, PA, USA

Several occurrences of vehicle stalling in traffic, restarting, but not staying started. Vehicle surging at idle. After taken to shop (towed), we now have had our fourth electronic throttle body replaced in last 28 months. The dealership has also replaced the maf sensor and has cleaned the throttle on two occasions. My portion of repairs have already exceeded $2,770. Dealership has acknowledged this is a known problem. They continue to "fix" the problem with the same replacement part.

The consumer stated that while driving at low speeds the vehicle would surge. This would also happen when stopping or when vehicle was in reverse. The check engine light illuminated, and the message read check exhaust system. The contact took the vehicle to a service dealer to be repaired. The dealer replaced the throttle body and the mass airflow. The replacements appeared to have corrected the problem. (12/07/05) there were also times when the vehicle would nearly stall and have to be placed in neutral.

I own a my 2000 Volvo S80 2.9. upon driving in town the car suddenly lost acceleration and engine started shaking. The message reader prompted me to stop and restart the engine. Well I did, in the turning lane, but it did not help. I pulled out of the cross section "shaking". my mechanic says the onboard computer prompts him to a faulty engine throttle module. Well this car has only 48000 miles on it. On the same note: On my 1999 S70 glt at around 60000 miles the same part had to be replaced, because it shut down the cruise control time-to-time.

- Twinsburg, OH, USA

I have a 2000 Volvo S80 2.9 sedan. About one year ago, the car stalled as I was driving the vehicle. There was no warning sign it simply lost power and stalled. I was able to use the emergency brake to come to a stop and avoid and accident (at the time I had a 4 year old and a 2 year old in the car). The incident occurred close to my home, so after a brief period, I was able to start the car again and get it home. The next day it seemed fine and the dealership recommended an engine cleaner additive. About six month later the same thing happened to my wife after and she was also almost in an accident. She were able get the car started and get it home. After that the car seemed to surge from time to time. The dealer told me it was called "surging" and recommended a $ $1,600 repair job. I declined. Today once again, the car, for no reason, stalled. I became aware the others have had this issue. I am submitting this complaint because my concern is that the vehicle may not be safe.

The vehicle was not idling properly. While stopped at a stop light, the engine would speed up and slow down. When starting to move from a stop, the car would lurch forward as the engine speed increased. This resulted in numerous close calls of me having to stop suddenly before hitting the car in front of me, also increasing the chance of being hit from behind from cars as I stopped suddenly. The Volvo dealer replaced the electronic throttle module as well as the mass air sensor to correct the problem. This is similar to the other complaints that have been reported about the ETM on the Volvo.

- Rockford, IL, USA

- San Rafael, CA, USA

In July, 2005 I took my 2000 S80 in for service complaining of general performance problems including surging when stopped, particularly when the A/C is running. Sometimes I saw the tachometer jumping during the surge activity. Red bank Volvo, my regular service facility, advised me that the problem required software upgrades for ECM and ETM, and if it persisted that my alternator would need cleaning. They never mentioned an ETM defect. Based upon the ETM complaints listed on NHTSA's website, my early problems seem similar.
