I have sold this car to a neighbor, but he is away for 8 months so I have been driving it once a week about 30 miles. It has a little over 60,000 miles on the odometer. Today I filled the tank and shortly afterwards the throttle control light came on. The car immediately began surging between 1 and 2,000 rpm and when I tried to stop the car at a stop sign it continued to surge and with great difficulty I halted the car. When I once again accelerated there was little response and about 30 seconds later it accelerated at a normal rate but the surging continued. I pulled off the road and turned off the ignition. When I started the car it initially revved to 5,000 rpm before settling down. I was fearful to drive the car. I had someone pick me up. I returned to the car an hour later and everything seemed fine. I drove the car home(about 8 miles) and parked it for about an hour. When I went to move it, the car began to surge again after the throttle light came on. I will call Volvo tomorrow, but this was a very frightening experience. I believe I had a similar problem a few years back and they replaced the throttle control(I believe it was a recall).

Car is stalling while driving. Electronic throttle body light comes on. Approximately 80,000 miles, however this car has been experiencing same problem on and off since we acquired it at 47,000 miles. Repair shops are telling us that the replacement cost is between $900 and $1,200, however after reading up on the subject this doesn't guarantee that subsequent replacement parts will not have the same problem. Have asked Volvo for their recommendation as to how to proceed. Wanted to record this in your database since we are having the same problem mentioned in pe05041.

The contact owns a 2000 Volvo S70. While driving on the interstate at 55-70 mph the vehicle stalled and the electronic throttle module light (etm) illuminated. The electronic throttle module had failed causing the vehicle to stall/die and lose power.

Consumer was traveling 60mph in a 65mph zone. Passing another vehicle going 60mph he floored throttle and ets light came up on dashboard. Vehicle went down to 2,000 rpm's. Consumer pulled over, and read manual, starting vehicle back up and it happened again. Dealer didn't know what to do. They had to inspect it for problem. The tube going from behind the grill to the air cleaner inlet was collapsing causing lack of air flow to the engine. The tube was removed and the problem was solved.
