Etm (ets) on 2000 year model s70 (v70). Unit failed after modest use (74915 miles). Replaced at cost of $860.13. This appears to be a widespread problem, and the manufacturer should own up to poor design. Please file complaint with the manufacturer.
Consumer notice the ets indicator light stay on through out travel, resulting vehicle hesitating . Consumer would shut engine off and restart to turn ets indicator lights off.
Driving 2000 make volvo v70 on interstate at 65 MPH. Ets and check engine warning lights come on. Car begins losing power, can't slow down or speed up. Finally steer to an exit ramp; car dies at bottom of exit ramp. No crashes, but major traffic jams. Car completely dead, needs to be towed. Viewing internet forums re: volvo, ets warning light and electronic throttle system (ets) problems are a major occurrence and a huge safety issue, judging from the many close calls I've read about similar to mine. Dealer replacing the ets module. Did not care about my safety. This is a huge issue that volvo needs to deal with. I and my daughter could have been killed, and others as well.
The car only starts intermittently. If I try to start it and it simply turns over without starting, I pull the key out, reinsert it, and try again. This one retry often works. However, if it does not, and I repeat this procedure enough times, the car will eventually start. This same thing happened during the first year I owned the car and it was repaired by the dealer under warranty. I was told my "smart key" lost its intellengence. I was a few days out of warranty when I brought it back to the dealer for the same thing, and was told that the problem could not be recreated, therefore it could not be diagnosed or repaired. I asked them to check my history, and was told that because it could not be recreated, my history didn't matter - that it could be something else entirely.
While driving at 15 MPH consumer was involved in a minor collision. Upon impact, front of vehicle caught on fire, melting the wires in engine and electrical system. After inspection of vehicle, it was determined that fire started in turn signal light. Manufacturer has been notified. Please provide additional information.
Electrical control system caused car to shut down. While sitting at a light ets light came on. Then, when consumer tried to take off, car would hardly move.
When activating the turn signal to indicate left or right turn fuse blows and lights fail. After replacement of fuse, failure recurs.
