1 Fuel Delivery problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2004

1. Ets light illuminated on dashboard of my 2000 Volvo C70 lt convertible. Ets light subsequently extinguished (on its own). 2. Took vehicle to dealer for diagnosis. Was informed the etc module was defective, with a replacement cost of over $1000. I could not afford the repair, so I informed the dealer to not repair the vehicle. I was not informed by the dealer that this failure would cause any safety issues in driving the car. 3. On October 14, 2004, while driving the vehicle, I experienced a sudden acceleration while stopping at a red light. I was able to apply the brakes in time to avoid a collision. Since that time, I have experienced this acceleration surge again. 4. As stated above, I cannot afford the repair. I have investigated this situation on the internet, and found similar experiences from other owners. I believe this is a safety-related defect in the Volvo, and that other owners should be notified of the defect and possible safety situation involved.
