I keep getting abs module failure on Volvo S80; every time we take our car to Volvo dealer, they come up with some module failure diagnosis. Seems like a Volvo generic issue with abs module failure message. We have tried contacting Volvo about this and they really did not help us. They have asked me to talk to the service manager at the local Volvo dealership. However service manager has told us that this is not a typical Volvo and asked to get rid of our car. Please help.

2000 Volvo S80 t6 on numerous occasions the vehicle would stall, even when driving at highway speeds. On several occasions while driving my children to school on the highway the vehicle stalled forcing me to cross 3-4 lanes of heavy traffic without the use of power steering or power brakes. The electronic throttle module was determined to be defective. This is a known defective part on 1999-2001 Volvo S80's. There are even documented reports that the etm will fail on over 90% of all Volvo S80's within this year range ('99-01). I have spent $900 to have this replaced. The state of California is filing a lawsuit against Volvo over this part. I live in ky; therefore I don't believe that lawsuit will help me. I am asking Volvo for full reimbursement to replace this part. It not only was a faulty design, but also potentially deadly part. There should have been a full recall on this part and Volvo knew about this problem even before the release of the vehicle in '99. There is another know defective part on the same year Volvo that is the abs module. I had to have that replaced for a cost of $1000. Documented reports say the abs module will fail on 60% of those Volvos.
