Engine Exhaust System Problems of Volvo S70

My 1999 Volvo s-70 received software upgrade code #155 in 2006 subject to recall and in August 2009 started to experience random throttle surging and loss of power ,especially on highway driving conditions(I-95), making vehicle unsafe to operate,along with intermittent ets light coming on. I am now told by dealer that cause is due to failure of electronic throttle module & not covered by 10 year or 200,000 mile warranty as "in-service" date on my vehicle was Feb. 2009 and therefore past 10 year warranty period. Having researched your data base involving safety issues & accidents caused directly from this type of part failure, I am at a loss as to why a full recall has not been issued by Volvo to replace all etm's on these model vehicles. I am now out-of-pocket $1200. 00 for something that Volvo has neglected to fix. Statistically, it appears that more of these etm's will fail outside of the Volvo warranty period.

While braking, the vehicle vibrated. Took vehicle to dealership and the mechanic indicated there was a crack in the brake master cylinder. The abs light illuminated, the oxygen sensor was replaced, the vacuum line was replaced, the upper torque arm bushing broke, the door locking system broke, the inside door panel came apart.

I am reporting this incident, since the repair shop told me that it is third such failure that they have repaired on Volvo S70's in the last two weeks. No safety defect listed in summary.

Intake vent port blew out, also, lost braking.

Emission system continued to fail. At stop vehicle would jerk forward. Engine check light would come on and remain. Sometimes vehicle would stall out when moving forward. Would be no warning. Been to dealer 8 times, and was test driven. Vehicle did not stall on mechanic. Owner , deputy sheriff video tape problem. Was repaired under fault codes, but problem still exists.
